Patriarchy in disguise
“A Population at Risk”
The article focuses on ageism during COVID-19 lockdowns. It is based on a study that investigated how the elder population, living at home or in out-of-home settings, experienced that period. It also explored managements’ attitude toward residents’ representatives in out-of-home frameworks during that time. Employing the narrative research method 16 interviews were carried out with people aged 75–97, living at home or in out-of-home settings, wit…
Filthy Old People
Based on an ethnographic study the article explores ageism in the context of gyms in Israel. It questions perceptions of ‘old age’ as having self-evident existence. As bodily characteristics are prominent in the social surrounding of the gym, this context serves as a convenient sphere for examining ageism. The findings reveal that fitness activity is perceived by all gym participants as serving to mitigate physical fragility. They also demonstrat…
The Role of Cultural Explanations in Gender-Based Relations
Granting the privilege to grunt
For many gym goers, grunting in times of bodily exertion is perceived as a voluntary performance, a self-evident expression for which they can waive any responsibility. Drawing on a symbolic interaction approach, this paper provides a novel examination of grunting as a social phenomenon. It demonstrates the role of grunting as a social symbol and its connection to social spaces and identities, gender norms, and power relations. The scope of socio…
Anthropological Perspectives on Two Documentary Films on Women in the Middle East
In this essay, I refer to two documentaries demonstrating some common features of male violence against women in the Jewish and Palestinian societies in Israel. Abeer Zaibak Haddad’s film about ‘honor killing’ illustrates the profound threat on girls’ and women’s physical safety. Yael Katzir’s film is about Jewish women’s struggle for religious rights. It is argued that being subjugated to patriarchal control, both Arab and Jewish women are denie…
Male Dominance under Threat
The article discusses macho culture in Israeli gyms. It describes male trainees' efforts to preserve their dominance, facing female trainees' threat to undermine it. The article analyzes means, such as military icons, physical battles, and vocal expressions, used to convey male dominance at the gym. Two gyms in the metropolis of Tel Aviv were studied by the male researcher for three years, and one suburban gym was studied by the female researcher…
Minors' Welfare and Bureaucratic Violence in Israel
The Israelization of Ethiopian Immigrants as Welfare Clients
Israëliser » par le clientélisme social les migrants éthiopiens Cet article montre que les migrants éthiopiens ont été orientés vers la niche des clients des services sociaux « dans le besoin ». C'est au nom de l'aide professionnelle que les agences d'absorption ont justifié l'étendue de leur contrôle social sur ces populations. Avec les aides sociales, ciblant principalement les femmes et en particulier leur identité de mère, ces immigrants ont …

The Role of Diseases in Constructing Bureaucratic Patronage over Ethiopian Immigrants in Israel
This article elaborates on the connection between hygiene/cleanliness and the bureaucratic control of Ethiopian immigrants in Israel. It discusses the role of stigmatisation in constructing immigrants' perceived backwardness and weakness, which necessitate guidance. The analysis also demonstrates the patronisation of immigrant women through inspection of their tidiness as mothers and housewives. The case of the Ethiopian immigrants, who began arr…
Women's Parties in Israel
Women's parties have played a significant role on the Israeli political scene since the beginning of the 20th century until the present. Moreover, women's parties had far reaching impact on both the status of wome n and wider society. However, the significance of women's parties has been underrated by academia and the media, and their potential prospects have been continuously denied. Women's antagonistic attitudes towards women's parties are in …
Gender and power relations in a bureaucratic context
In this article, 1 I discuss the ways in which the bureaucracy of absorption centres in Israel disempowered Ethiopian women immigrants by promoting a strict gender division of labour within a 'family unit' that reflected wider social structures in Israel. In their interactions with Ethiopian immigrants, the officials running the absorption centres enhanced the idea of a 'family unit', and the gendered power relations within it, by transferring re…
Immigrants and Bureaucrats
Since Israel is primarily a country of immigrants, the state takes on the responsibility for the settlement and integration of each new group. It therefore sees its role as benevolent and indispensable to the welfare of the immigrants. This be true to some extent. However, the overwhelming effect, the author argues, is exactly the opposite: in her study of Ethiopian immigrants she reaches the conclusion that the absorption centers, which are cent…
