  • Between Fantasy and Harsh Reality

    Zohar ShavitARTICLEChildhood in the Past2022

    This article examines 1950s Israeli children’s journals’ dual attitude towards the austerity regime that characterised the early years of Israel’s statehood.

  • Can It Be That Our Dormant Language Has Been Wholly Revived?”

    Zohar Shavit, Zohar Shavit Zohar ShavitARTICLEIsrael Studies2016

    “Hebraization” was a project of nation building—the building of a new Hebrew nation.

  • The Status of Translated Literature in the Creation of Hebrew Literature in Pre-State Israel (the Yishuv Period)

    Open AccessZohar ShavitARTICLEMeta Journal des traducteurs2002

    Zohar ShavitARTICLEPoetics Today1987

    In this study, the author isolates the conventions and moral aims that have structured children's literature, from the fairy tales collected and reworked by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm - in particular, Little Red Riding Hood - through the complex manipulations of Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, to the subversion of the genre's canonical requirements in the chapbooks of the 18th century and in the formulaic Nancy Dre…
