Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators.

This interest started in 2005 when American premium cable network HBO purchased the option to adapt the Israeli show BeTipul. BeTipul is a riveting drama that follows psychologist Reuven Dagan through his weekly meetings with his patients. HBO’s adaptation, the critically acclaimed In Treatment, won a Primetime Emmy in 2008 and a Golden Globe in 2009.1 More recently, the streaming provider Netflix has “gone truly Israeli,” and Series II Issue Number 1 Spring 2018/5778 • 21 now features

Gemeinsam mit Simmels Exkurs über den Fremden und Freuds Ausführungen zu dem „Unheimlichen“ wird dies daher anhand der systematischen Filmanalyse nach Korte herangezogen, um die israelische Serie FAUDA auf ihre Differenzierung zwischen israelischen „Eigenen“ und palästinensischen „Anderen“ zu untersuchen. Ergänzt durch eine Inhaltsanalyse arabisch- und hebräischsprachiger Rezensionen zeichnet sich das Bild ab, dass orientalistischen Zügen in der Serie entweder direkt durch die Handlung widersprochen oder diese aber durch stilistische Mittel künstlerisch subvertiert werden. Die Analyse über Simmel und Freud zeigt, dass das Andere zwar als solcher auch präsentiert wird, durch den Einsatz von Doppelungen jedoch Zusammenhänge zum Eigenen geschaffen werden und die Sinnhaftigkeit der Eskalation des Konflikts in Frage gestellt wird. ENGLISCHSPRACHIGES ABSTRACT Said’s theory on orientalism lends itself to analysing popular culture and its presentation of the “Other”. In combination with Simmel’s excursion on the stranger and Freud’s explanations on the “uncanny”, this is used to analyse the Israeli series FAUDA and its differentiation between the Israeli “Own” and Palestinian “Other”, utilizing Korte’s systematic film analysis.
