“Trauma Objects” and Buildings as War Museums
This paper examines the interplay between war museums and history from below by analysing initiatives that deal with the civilian communities attacked on October 7 in Israel. The initiatives are based on “trauma objects” and buildings that were damaged in the battles and belonged to members of the community. As leftwing communities that were labelled as “traitors”, the preservation initiatives make use of practices from below that could be assume…
Monuments from below
The article broadens the definition of “memory activism” by examining the interplay between national and personal commemoration of the fallen in times of war. The personal voice is usually perceived as opposing the national-heroic commemoration narrative. The Iron Swords war has created a new articulation between the two—the sticker—which has become ubiquitous in the Israeli public space. The sticker combines the picture of the fallen soldier wit…

Culture instead of politics
Programmes based on intercultural encounters with the ‘Other’ place culture and cultural difference at their centre. ‘Cultural discourse’ has even been defined as a new epistemology and praxis that plays a key role in the process of recognition. In the light of these assumptions, this study used ethnographic field work to examine the ways culture was employed by Palestinian and Jewish students who took part in an intercultural programme in a larg…
Ethnicity vs. national culture in one nationalized educational site
This study examines the interface between ethnicity and nationality in a nationalized educational site – the annual school trip – that took place in a Jewish high school in Israel that serves underprivileged ethnic groups. Based on ethnographic field work, I analyze how the Ashkenazi (central-eastern European origin) hegemonic national culture that is embedded in the field trip is worked out by the Mizrahi (Asian and north African origin) student…
The personal as political
Drawing on ethnographic research at an inter-cultural program that offered a space for engagement for Palestinian and Jewish educational trainees’, we followed the role played by the private sphere in the process of articulating a perception of the ‘Other’. Most participants from both groups chose to locate their position toward the ‘Other’ in their private sphere. The different ways through which the private sphere was preformed and justified by…
Family Structure
This article offers a critical study of the iteration and reiteration of Israel’s national identity. Thus this study falls within a well charted research terrain. And like many studies falling within its purview, it is also intended to do more than just describe attempts to impose uniform collective identity on obdurate social and cultural diversity. It is intended to examine the national project as ‘a form of cultural elaboration’ entrapped with…
Neo‐liberal reforms in Israel's education system
This paper offers a reading of the Dovrat Report with the aim of assessing the convoluted and dialectical manifestations of the state – ‘the weak and the strong state’ – in the era of global neo‐liberalism. The Dovrat Report (Ministry Of Education 2005 Ministry Of Education. 2005. The national task force (‘The Dovrat Committee’) [in Hebrew], Jerusalem: The Ministry Of Education and Culture. [Google Scholar]) includes a set of recommendations aimi…
