Gerindo identidades marginalizadas entre conhecimento local e cultura global - o ambientalismo como recurso: Exemplos da sociedade árabe em Israel
A crítica do Orientalismo traz à cena o desempoderamento das culturas locais pela visão ocidental, que, impondo conceitos irrelevantes a um conjunto de contextos, silencia seus meios próprios de vida e sistemas de valores. Contudo, acaba permitindo também um outro tipo de olhar, por uma perspectiva oposta. Ressaltando a criatividade social, suas reações aos repertórios não locais, as culturas locais rejeitam ou incorporam certos elementos para re…
Como ser um tradutor (reconhecido): Repensando o habitus, as normas e o campo da tradução
Focando nos tradutores como um grupo cultural-profissional, este artigo mobiliza os conceitos bourdieusianos de campo e habitus para explicar a tensão entre a natureza restrita e a natureza versátil da ação dos tradutores, conforme determinado pela identificação do grupo cultural e pela posição em seu campo específico de ação. Com base no parâmetro básico das disputas de status e da luta por capital simbólico, elaboramos três aspectos importantes…
Affect, ethnic boundaries and social mobility: Transforming identities in the acculturation of Ashkenazi immigrants in Israel
This study investigates how affects – uncontrollable feelings that tacitly influence humans – transform, rather than reify, intergroup relations. Taking immigrant families as a case in point, we explore the role of circulating identity-affects in shaping ethnoclass identifications and boundaries over time. Proceeding from the prevailing (Jewish-sector) identity discourse in Israel, where ethnic categories (Ashkenazi vs. Mizrahi) still frame a maj…
The identity work of environmental education teachers in Israel
Despite growing interest in promoting environmental education (EE), as in other countries, its status within the formal education system in Israel is still ambiguous and its effectiveness questionable. Proceeding from the view of structure-agent interdependency, the present study focuses on teachers’ identity as key to understanding the situation in their professional field. Analysis is based on in-depth interviews with ten EE teachers in ten pub…
Two-way cultural transfer: The case of the Israeli TV series BeTipul and its American adaptation In Treatment
BeTipul, the first Israeli TV series purchased by American television, and its American adaptation, In Treatment, provide an intriguing case of bidirectional (peripheral-global) cultural transfer. Focusing on the psychotherapy content of the show, this article examines the effect of foreignness versus compatibility it generated in the two different reception spaces. In America, the adaptation strategies and critics’ response to the remake reveal …
Emotion-identity talk in aggressive interactions and in reflexive accounts
Proceeding from the assumption that emotional competencies are vital components of identity work, this article focuses on emotion talk in interactions as conducive to the speaker's maintaining dignity and forming desired relatedness with their counterpart. We compare the same speaker's emotion-identity management in two different yet related encounter types: (1) an aggressive bargaining, where his dignified self is threatened and (2) his reflexiv…
The Translators' Personae: Marketing Translatorial Images as Pursuit of Capital1
This paper examines the collective self-images of Israeli literary translators, assuming that their desired idealized personae are no less effective than their actual performances in regulating the "rules of the game" in their field. In view of translators' popular image of 'invisibility' and 'submissiveness,' my argument is that translators are compelled to make intensive use of self-promotional discourse in their endeavor to establish their pro…
Detachment and Engagement: Israelis' Everyday Verbal Representations of 'the Israeli Person' and the Contest for the Right to Condemn a Collective Identity
This article examines strategies of detachment and engagement in the ongoing struggles over defining a collective sense of ‘Israeli identity’ that take place in contemporary Israeli everyday discourse, and which is intended for insiders alone. The analysis compares material from two different samples of voluntary formulations of ‘how Israelis behave’ offered by anonymous Israelis in domestic public forums: one is a collection of about 300 folklor…
