Culturescapes Israel

Culture in the Area of Tension in the Middle East

A differentiated view of an unusual country

With picturesays, raplyrics and short stories

In the field of tension between liberal Tel Aviv and fundamentalist Israel

Festival ‹Culturescapes Israel›: September to November 2011 in Switzerland

Few countries are as tense as Israel. The book deals with developments taken up by Israeli culture and focuses on vanishing points, breaks and paradigm shifts.

Swiss, German and Israeli experts on the cultural scene describe the frictions between liberal and fundamentalist Israel. The treatment of Holocaust traumas in painting is addressed, as is the theme of memory and repression in Israeli-Hebrew theatre, or the treatment of experiences of war and terror. Complemented by pictorial essays, rap songs and short stories, the book offers a differentiated view of an unusual country.
