Preserving Through Innovating
This study investigates the emergence of neo-pashkevils—visually and rhetorically modernized wall posters—within ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) campaigns opposing military conscription in Israel. While traditional pashkevils (wall posters) function as informal instruments of ideological enforcement and communal discipline, neo-pashkevils incorporate comic-style illustrations, vibrant colors, and colloquial language aimed at youth audiences. Through the …
Shaping the ultra-Orthodox man’s self-image
This study examines how the ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) men within the religious minority community in Israel represent themselves through wall posters (Pashkevilim) and protest banners in resistance to military service and opposition to enlisted Haredi soldiers. Through qualitative thematic analysis of 27 wall posters and 25 protest banners, this study explores how these visual media reflect and shape the male self-image and body image in relation t…
Educators as news mediators
The surprise Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, resulted in widespread dissemination of violent content, creating urgent challenges for parents and educators in managing children’s exposure to traumatic news. Despite attempts to shield children, many Israeli school-age children were exposed to such content. This study explores one institutionalized and two organic news-mediation initiatives developed by educators in response to the crisis.…
The personal is the (quasi-) political
This study explores how digital humor functions as a form of critique in contexts where overt dissent is constrained. Focusing on memes shared by members of a Facebook support group for Israeli reservist soldiers’ wives during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, the study analyzes how humor helps negotiate personal and collective tensions. Using thematic and critical discourse analysis, we identify four spheres of critique—targeting spouses, social circle…
Navigating parental engagement in WhatsApp groups
This study examines how WhatsApp-groups shape parental engagement in education, focusing on elementary school teachers-parents groups. Using theories of parental engagement and digital affordances, we explore how these groups transform traditional educational partnerships. Through in-depth interviews with teachers and parents, the study highlights how WhatsApp's public nature, constant availability, and conversational format both enable and const…
‘Why should we turn to fascists in their own language?’ Affordances and constraints of networked counterpublics as experienced by the group members
The emergence of social networking sites (SNSs) and new media has led to scholarly interest in the possibilities they offer for creating counter publics - discursive arenas where subordinated groups invent and circulate counterdiscourses in opposition to the dominant ideology. However, most empirical research has focused on describing discursive strategies used in counterpublics and analyzing networks of specific movements or organizations, while…
Oppositional Mirror on the Wall
Pashkevilim, printed wall notices posted around Jewish ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, serve as one of the religious community's popular communication channels. The Pashkevilim mostly deal with controversial intra-community issues and feature a unique style, extremist rhetoric, and vocabulary derived from the religious literature. Humorous imitations of the genre arose over the years, which circulated in the community and outside of it, posing a ch…
News videos consumption in an age of new media
Contemporary audiences have abundant access to news anywhere, anytime and through a wide range of media. Due to the short length of news items, they do not require prolonged attentional focus. Consequently, the genre is consequential for performing simultaneous activities, which are related (i.e. second screening) or unrelated (i.e. media multitasking) to the content of the news items. Despite the potential of second screen activities to increase…
Write it down! I am an Arab”
Various literature has examined how affordances of online media such as openness and connectivity have constituted digital counterpublics, that is, discursive arenas where members of subordinate social groups invent and circulate oppositional interpretations of their identities. At the same time, and in sharp contrast to the bilateral nature of online media, most of this literature has focused on content produced by the group members only, withou…
Media portrayal of enemy leaders and public opinion toward peace
Despite the growing number of studies analysing the role of media in peace processes, there is almost no literature on the relationship between media and public opinion during peace processes. This article examines this question using the case study of the Oslo Accords. Specifically, it analyzes the compatibility between media portrayals of Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin and Israeli and Palestinian public support for peace negotiations. The find…
Viewing diaries in an age of new media
This exploratory study inquires into the validity and reliability of dedicated mobile phone diary applications. We developed Watchy, a dedicated mobile viewing diary application, and compared users' compliance and usage patterns with those of users of the paper viewing diaries. Participants received paper diaries or installed mobile diary apps, with or without daily reminders, to document their viewings over a 4-day period. Documentation was more…
Changing media representations of enemy leaders
In times of conflict, the media tend to create a dichotomy between ‘us’ and ‘them’, which emphasizes the justice of ‘our’ side and the viciousness of ‘the enemy’. In this way, the media not only reflect an existing political reality but also contribute to its construction. But do the media also work in the opposite direction and may contribute to the advancement of peace processes through complex and multi-dimensional coverage of the enemy? The p…
