Israeli-Palestinian intersectional cringe dramedy
This article examines the emergence of ‘intersectional cringe dramedy’ in the Israeli television landscape, following the concept of the ‘feminist cringe comedy’ (Nussbaum, 2017) and building on Havas and Sulimma’s observation on dramedies dealing with ‘intersectional relations of identity politics’ (Havas and Sulimma, 2020). The study first surveys how the Israeli sitcom has been influenced by American and British sitcoms, both in textual charac…
Television Drama in Israel Identities in Post-TV Culture
Israeli television, currently celebrating fifty years of broadcasting, has become one of the most important content sources on the international TV drama market, when serials such as Homeland, Hostages, Fauda, Zaguory Empire and In Treatment were bought by international networks, HBO included. Offering both a textual reading and discourse analysis of contemporary Israeli television dramas, Itay Harlap adopts a case study approach in order to addr…

These texts usually present gay parenthood as a positive phenomenon and sometimes even as more successful than heter…
Bad television/good (post)television
Nevelot ( Eagles) is an Israeli miniseries about two elderly men who, in their youth, fought for a Jewish Zionist underground movement in Palestine, and who in the present-day, embark upon an all-out, killing spree across the city of Tel Aviv, targeting exclusively the young. Whilst it does not directly address television (TV) per se, key scenes and paratexts convey that Nevelot is by no means 'regular TV', and that watching it constitutes a view…
Serial Trauma
This article will compare two texts—a feature film, Waltz with Bashir, and a television serial, Parashat Ha-Shavu’a, both of which deal with the traumatic effects of the 1982 First Lebanon War. The preoccupation of Parashat with the war is enacted through the character of Shaul Nawi, who is plagued by nightmares, hallucinations, and memories from that war. In Waltz, too, as in Parashat Ha-Shavu’a, the protagonist remembers a traumatic event belat…
