Exporting Zionism
Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience, -

In this context, the tel aviv as bauhaus’ world capital marketing of Tel Aviv as the «world capital of Bauhaus» with its purported «4,000 Bauhaus buildings» is particularly ambivalent.1 It exemplifies and discloses the contradiction between the founda- tional ideals of this avant-garde art, architecture and design school and its current popularization in the spirit of neoliberal exploita- tion interests: Scant attention is paid to the political and social- neues bauen [new building] utopian ambitions of Neues Bauen, which were also represented social-utopian aspirations by the Bauhaus students who emigrated to Palestine in the 1930s to help build a Jewish homeland. Those ambitions have given rise bauhaus brand to the exact opposite: Under the aegis of the «Bauhaus» label, pro- displacement processes cesses of displacement and social disintegration are exacerbated, gentrification along with a de facto deterioration in the residential environment near the city centre. -

Turkey, Israel, Morocco
Turkey _l HE PERIOD under review (the middle of 1961 to the end of 1966) witnessed the restoration of order in Turkey after two coups in 1960 and the execution on charges of corruption and treason of Adnan Menderes, former prime minister and leader of the defunct Democratic party. These events were followed by the eventual return to democratic practices and a multi-party system. In the middle of 1961 a new constitution (AJYB, 1962 [Vol. 63], p. 393) drafted by members of a temporary constituent assembly was approved by the controlling military junta, the Committee of National Unity, under the leadership of General Cemal Giirsel. The junta considered the existence of this constitution one of the prime conditions for the promised return to civilian government. When, on July 9, 1961, the constitution was submitted to the people in the form of a referendum, over one-third of the ballots were cast against it, indicating that a large number of citizens were still partisan to the recently overthrown Democratic party. After the referendum, political activ- ity intensified in preparation for the first post-coup elections to be held on October 16, 1961. The elections demonstrated that the memory of Menderes was sufficiently poignant to muster 34.8 per cent of the votes for the Justice party. The middle-of-the-road Republican People's party (RPP), headed by Izmet Inonii, received 36.7 per cent of the votes; the liberal New Turkey party, 13.7 per cent, and the slightly right Republican National People's party, 14 per cent. Thus, no party won the required 226-seat majority in the Assembly or the 76-seat majority in the Senate, and, for the first time in Turkey's po- litical history, a coalition was to be formed. -

The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Celebrates 50th Anniversary in 2015 Year-Long Season of Special Exhibitions and Programs Illuminates Visual Culture in Israel from its Early 20th Century Roots in Europe to its Most Contemporary Expressions Today A Centerpiece of the Anniversary Year is A Brief History of Humankind as Told through Twelve Seminal Works from Museum’s Universal Holdings Jerusalem (February 3, 2015) — The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2015 with a year-long series of special exhibitions reflecting on the Museum’s achievements since its founding and underscoring the local and universal dimensions of its collections and programming. From exhibitions uniting seminal works from across the Museum’s encyclopedic holdings, to displays showcasing masterworks on loan from sister institutions, the Museum’s anniversary year features the shared narratives of cultures and civilizations worldwide. Special focus is given to the trajectory of Israel’s own visual culture, from its roots in Europe more than 100 years ago, to the founding of the Museum in 1965, through the present day. Major gifts across all of the Museum’s collections that have been committed since the Museum’s renewal in 2010 are also on view throughout the year, highlighting the breadth of support worldwide that has contributed to the ongoing growth of the Museum’s encyclopedic holdings. “Since the Israel Museum’s founding in 1965, we have made remarkable strides in building a preeminent collection that stretches across the breadth of world culture and reflects the global cultural and historical narrative that is shared by all of our audiences,” said James S. -

Materially Constituting the Arenberg Family Body in the Habsburg
The Matter of Nobility: Materially Constituting the Arenberg Family Body in the Habsburg Netherlands 1520-1620 Rebekah Helen Lee Two Volumes Volume One: Text. PhD. University of York. History of Art. September 2018. Abstract This thesis will explore the material construction of the noble form in the sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Habsburg Netherlands. Understandings of substance and social structures of privilege were in potent and synchronized flux during this era and Flemish noble families, such as the Arenberg clan, were required to consistently reformulate and assert their authority. The Arenberg family were powerful and socially prominent figures in the Low Countries at this time. They were staunch Catholics and active members of the Brussels court but also engaged regularly with the commercial elites of the Northern Provinces. Structured around five case studies, the investigation will focus on the nature of different media and how the particularities of each substance were deliberately co-opted into the production of social authority. It will examine how corporal encounter with textiles, glass, paper, and pigment formulated noble honour, negotiated change, produced relationships between diverse groups, and situated the family within an ever-shifting social environment. Each chapter examines a material artefact commissioned by the dynasty at a site of contest or transformation, a situation in which the privileged nature of the Arenberg clan required consolidation or reassertion. This thesis will contribute towards a growing field of study on the Early Modern Habsburg Netherlands. It will prioritise material processes in an attempt to highlight the value of substance as a methodological tool useful for research into the fields of Catholic Europe court history currently dominated by archival approaches. -

(c) Tim Hursley. a far-ranging collection of nearly 500,000 objects, representing the full scope of world material culture. In the summer of 2010, the Israel Museum completed the most comprehensive upgrade of its 20-acre campus in its history, featuring new galleries, entrance facilities, and public spaces. The three-year expansion and renewal project was designed to enhance visitor experience of the Museum’s collections, architecture, and surrounding landscape, complementing its original design by Alfred Mansfeld and Dora Gad. Led by James Carpenter Design Associates of New York and Efrat-Kowalsky Architects of Tel Aviv, the project also included the complete renewal and reconfiguration of the Museum’s Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Archaeology Wing, Edmond and Lily Safra Fine Arts Wing, and Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel Wing for Jewish Art and Life.

In Blessed Memory of a Dream: Mordechai Shenhavi and Initial Holocaust Commemoration Ideas in Palestine, 1942–1945 Mooli Brog
In Blessed Memory of a Dream: Mordechai Shenhavi and Initial Holocaust Commemoration Ideas in Palestine, 1942–1945 Mooli Brog This study examines the initial social construction of Holocaust commemoration in the Yishuv (the pre-state Jewish community of Palestine). It presents and analyzes proposals that were put forward in Palestine and abroad to commemorate the exterminated European Jews between the summer of 1942, when the first reports about mass exterminations were received, and the summer of 1945, shortly after the end of World War II. The following questions are posed: What was the reasoning in the Yishuv for the need to establish a national commemorative project for those who had been annihilated in the Diaspora? Who were the people who suggested such projects and what were their motives? What kind of memorial site did they wish to erect? Where did they propose to build the memorial site and what were the reasons for their choice? Finally, what can the answers to these questions teach us about Holocaust consciousness in the Yishuv at that time? The research on methods of preserving the past in different societies has focused primarily on the theme of “social frames of memory.”1 My intention is to examine the Holocaust commemoration in the Yishuv with the help of a definition offered by Barry Schwartz. He has depicted memory mainly as a cultural system and has offered a semiotic interpretation of culture. Expanding on Clifford Geertz’s observations2 on the essence of cultural patterns in commemoration, Schwartz suggests that “As models of society, events of the past are the key to [understanding] the present.
