FOCUS ON ISRAEL: The year
1978 marked Israel’s entry into Lebanon, which led to the long-term military
occupation of non-sovereign territory and the long, costly war in Lebanon. In
the years that followed, many Israelis found themselves alienated from the idea
that their country used force only when there was no alternative, and Israeli
society eventually underwent a dramatic change in attitude toward
militarization and the infallibility of the Israel Defense Forces. In Narratives of Dissent: War in
Contemporary Israeli Arts and Culture (Wayne State University
Press, $39.95) editors Rachel
S. Harris and Ranen Omer-Sherman
collect nineteen essays that examine the impact of this cultural shift on
Israeli visual art, music, literature, poetry, film, theatre, public
broadcasting, and commemoration practices after 1978. These works address both
incremental and radical changes in individual and collective consciousness that
have spread through Israeli culture in response to the persistent affliction of
war. No other such volume exists in Hebrew or English. Students and teachers of
Israeli studies will appreciate Narratives of Dissent.
