Hannah M. Ridge: Contours of Israeli Politics: Jewish Ethnicity, Religious Nationalism, and Democracy
The Freest Speech in Russia: Poetry Unbound, 1989–2022
Poets, Resistance, Translation, and Ethics in a Time of War
Poetry has proven a productive aesthetic discourse for those working in Russian and in Ukrainian, documented by a huge outpouring of verse and by both the articles in this forum. This viewpoint piece zeroes in on the ways in which poems have become a means of resistance, particularly for those writing in Russian, and on the roles played by translation as its own ethical act and as a form of further resistance. It ends with the example of Igor' Bu…

On Russian Poems, Poets, and Prizes, Late in 2020
In Memoriam
Long life is not given to very many Russian poets, nor is a creative life lived entirely on the poet's own terms.But that was the fate of Elizaveta Mnatsakanova (May 31, 1922-September 10, 2019), who died in Vienna in 2019 at the age of 97.Born in Baku, she moved to Moscow to study at the Philology Faculty of Moscow State University and then took two degrees from the Moscow Conservatory.In Moscow, she made her living as a musicologist, and began …
Superpower Involvement in the Middle East: Dynamics of Foreign Policy
The poetics of language
The chapter analyzes language-oriented poets and movements, showing how different conceptions of the poetic word emerged and influenced writing and performance throughout the period. The chapter follows the ramifications of avant-garde experiment, expressed in manifestos, public gestures, and performances. These innovations continued to influence the artistic practices of the 1920s and were revived later in the 1960s–80s. They comprised a legacy …
Local narratives
Intergenerational feuds gave rise to literary works about dynastic continuity, which transformed local military warriors into religious heroes and led to the elevation of the Grand Prince as a national leader, a position crystallized late in the period by Ivan IV. The chapter charts a narrative about invasion and survival after the thirteenth-century depredations of the Mongols, and discusses how scribal techniques adjusted versions of texts to s…
Narratives of nation-building
This chapter focuses on two related subjects: the sharpening of historical awareness and the formation of Russian national consciousness. Mature historical narratives inspired historical fiction and drama. Tolstoy’s War and Peace offered a powerful nationalistic view of the Napoleonic Wars. Russians of all political persuasions attempted to articulate a view of Russia as a multinational empire and to define specifically Russian historical path. T…
Interlude
In this space between the Poetics of Subjectivity and the Poetics of Language, we want to pause briefly to consider several otherwise unrelated poets who, for a portion of their careers, did not fit into the reigning poetic movements of their age, or do not smoothly align with the critical trends that dominated Russian literary studies in the twentieth century. These poets straddle the two types of poetics we have foregrounded in this part of our…
Prose Fiction
This chapter considers the prose genres that developed in the period and their relative artistic success and limitations, recognizing that poetry had been much more open to innovation than prose. Forms such as the memoir (fictional as well as real), autobiography, letter writing, the allegorical novel, and the short story conform to the general pattern of literary norms adapted from European models. The chapter explains that a gap opened between …
Political Tradition and Foreign Affairs: A Study in Jewish Foreign Policy
This study proposes to identify a Jewish political tradition in the area of international politics and foreign policy. The concept of Jewish foreign policy tradition encompasses the interaction between Jews and external groups during times of Jewish sovereignty as well as times of Jewish Diaspora. The article analyzes patterns of Jewish foreign policy behavior drawn from both various sources of Biblical or Halakhic literature as well as from the …

The Jewish Origins of Israeli Foreign Policy: A Study in Tradition and Survival
The conventional understanding of Israeli foreign policy has been that it is a relatively new phenomenon, with some claiming that the ‘Jewish People’ is an invention by mid-19th century Jewish historians, or simply an ‘imagined community’. This book disputes these claims by demonstrating that the Jews have a tradition of foreign relations based on an historical political tradition that goes back thousands of years, and that this tradition has bee…

Israel at the Polls 2009
The 2006 elections constitute a major redrawing of the political map in Israel due to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s exit from the Likud party and his creation of a new centre party, Kadima. Following Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from Gaza, Sharon formed Kadima taking many former Likud MKs, and prominent members of the Labour party with him. Focusing particularly on the various political parties, the election campaign in the media and the main i…
The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century Russian Literature
In Russian history, the twentieth century was an era of unprecedented, radical transformations - changes in social systems, political regimes, and economic structures. A number of distinctive literary schools emerged, each with their own voice, specific artistic character, and ideological background. As a single-volume compendium, the Companion provides a new perspective on Russian literary and cultural development, as it unifies both émigré lite…

The 2009 Knesset elections: A foreign affairs perspective
Israel's general elections in 2009 yielded three major outcomes: 1) the replacement of the bi-polar system that characterized Israeli electoral politics between 1977 and 2003 in which most parties are aligned to one of the two principal parties by a more flexible multi-party system. 2) The nearly total collapse of the Labor party and the Zionist left; for the first time since the 1920s, the Labor party was no longer a major political player, and …

Visual Poetry after Modernism: Elizaveta Mnatsakanova
The impact of neither Andrei Belyi nor Velimir Khlebnikov has been fully comprehended, and their legacies are joined in unusual combination in the work of the contemporary visual poet Elizaveta Mnatsakanova. Her poetry appeals to both eye and ear, expanding on innovations introduced by Belyi and Khlebnikov, and it raises broad questions about the integration of sensory experiences by readers of visual poetry. Mnatsakanova uses illustrative handwr…
Introduction: From Centrism to Neo-Centrism
Separation of Religion and State in the Twenty-First Century: Comparing the Middle East and Western Democracies
While religion has often been ignored as an important political factor, it is becoming increasingly clear that it plays a substantive role in world politics, both international ly and locally.1 Fundamentalist movements, such as the religious right in the U.S. and the numerous Islamic movements in Islamic states, have had a significant impact on domestic politics. Many localized disputes with religious elements have had international implications …
Regime Types and Discrimination against Ethnoreligious Minorities: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the Autocracy-Democracy Continuum
Although many assume that the relationship between the autocracy-democracy continuum and discrimination is linear, with autocracies discriminating the most and democracies discriminating the least, the assumption is not universal. This study uses the Minorities at Risk dataset to test this relationship with regard to government treatment of religiously differentiated ethnic minorities (ethnoreligious minorities) as well as ethnic minorities that …
Religion, State, and the International System in the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict
Why do conflicts between states and national movements continue to be “nationalist”, concerned almost exclusively with self-determination and control over territory, rather than crusades on behalf of faith? Our basic claim is that the nature of the present international system bolsters the dominant position of nationalists in a given conflict with an opposing political entity, as well as within their own constituency. For this reason, the Palesti…

Religious zionism and the state: Political accommodation and religious radicalism in Israel
In its earlier years Israel was spared the impact of religious radicalism. In the last two decades, however, religious doctrines have begun to claim a role in foreign policy, culminating in the 4 November 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. The primary aim of this study is to explore the systemic political processes and contextual factors that in the past have subdued national religious radicalism in Israel. The general argument o…
Introduction: From Centrism to Neo-Centrism
Crisis Magnitude and Interstate Conflict: Changes in the Arab-Israel Dispute
This research aims to analyze change in the Arab-Israel conflict. At its core lies the following theoretical question: How can change in a protracted conflict be detected? Four empirical questions are then addressed. (1) Is the Arab-Israel conflict undergoing change? (2) If so in which realm did change occur? (3) When did change take place? (4) How can change be explained? The theoretical setting explaining change is based on both realist/neo-rea…
Israel at the Polls 2003: A New Turning Point in the Political History of the Jewish State
Towards a conceptual framework of world Jewish politics: State, nation and diaspora in a Jewish foreign policy
Contemporary world Jewry is organized into a number of contrasting frameworks, which together present a challenge to contemporary political science. Since 1948 one could speak of a Jewish ttate, a Jewish nation, a Jewish diaspora, a Jewish people, Jewish communities, and both Jewish national and international or transnational organizations, all existing concurrently. The purpose of this essay is to articulate a conceptual framework that would enc…
Magnitude and Endurance in Interstate and Ethnic-State Crises: The Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1947-2000
The study focuses on the Arab-Israeli conflict as reflected in 26 international crises over the 1947-2000 period. It draws upon data from the ICB dataset. While the subject matter and empirical case study determine a realist orientation, the study is modulated by an appreciation for the worldwide phenomenon of ethnic conflict. The main concern is the distinction between endurance and magnitude of a conflict that has both interstate and ethnic dim…
Rereading Russian Poetry

The changing Israeli strategic equation: Toward a security regime
Israel is situated in the Middle East, which is not a zone of peace but rather of turmoil. In contrast to the West where peace has become the norm, the Middle East exists in a different socio-political time zone. It is war-prone and the use of force still evokes remarkable popular support. The Middle East, similar to other Third World regions, displays a greater propensity for intra- and inter-state conflict as compared to the environments of the…

Territoriality and Nation‐State Formation: The Yishuv and the Making of the State of Israel
Students of the State are to this day bewildered by the subject matter of their discipline, and disagree over the formation of the modem state. In their search for clarity they have dedicated a relatively large part of their attention to redefining the boundaries between the state and society, and questions regarding the independent role of each in the modem nation‐state. This probe left the two settings separate from each other. The renewed inte…

Ethnonationalism and the foreign policy of nation‐states
The study of the impact of the nation‐state on foreign policy has been inadequate, partly because of the evolution of international relations theory and partly because of the origins of both the modern state and the nation. As a departure point for the study of the foreign policy of nation‐states an integration of ethnic nationalism into foreign policy is suggested and a pre‐theoretical framework was spelled out in this essay. The proposed framew…

The Two Women of Bakhchisarai
Bakhchisaraiskii fontan (1823) has been treated more than any other Pushkin text as not saying enough, as hiding something from its readers. Pushkin learned the story of a fountain memorializing a beloved woman from someone who has come to be known as his love.1 While it is legitimate to look for secrets in Pushkin's texts and difficult to put aside the impressive tradition of scholarship that has grown up around Bakhchisaraiskii fontan, the secr…

Baratynskii, Pushkin, and Hamlet: On Mourning and Poetry
In the winter of 1818-1819 in Petersburg, Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837) made the acquaintance of Evgenii Baratynskii (1800-1844). What kind of relationship existed between Pushkin and Baratynskii is not easily known, and most scholars have assumed that neither poet was significant in the life or the poetry of the other. The poets do seem to have important affinities. Exact contemporaries, Baratynskii and Pushkin joined the same literary circles, …
"The Poetics of Authority in Pushkin's "André Chénier
During the spring and summer months of 1825, Aleksandr Pushkin intensified his efforts to end his exile in Mikhailovskoe. Though his friends urged him to produce work that might influence imperial opinion in his favor, Pushkin doubted that his poems could win him freedom. His writings increasingly were concerned with what the function of poetry should be. Pushkin's "crisis" in 1825 turned not only on political issues (the Decembrist revolt at the…

Israel and the West Bank Palestinians
Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs in the region west of the Jordan River have, in effect, constituted a bicommunal polity for much of this century. Little academic attention, however, has been given to a bicommunal perspective on Israeli-Palestinian relations. Three theoretical models for understanding bicommunal polities are suggested at the outset of the article: dual authority, control, and shared rule. Within the control model, two variation…
