Course description
Mothers, Wars and Military service
The Seminar will examine mother-figures who gained iconic status in Israeli culture, such as Rivka Guber and Aviva Shalit, as well as varied representations of mother-figures in Hebrew and Israeli literature, by writers such as Yosef-Haim Brenner, Moshe Shamir, Yehoshua Bar-Yosef, Yehudit Hendel, Orly Kastel-Bloom, David Grossman and others. The division of national functions between mothers and sons in Israeli nationalism and literature will be directed by theoretical writings from different fields: psychoanalysis, gender studies and sociology.
