The course will deal with cultural and national concepts, ideas and means of dealing with social and political situations, circumstances and changes as expressed in literary texts for children and young adults written in Hebrew (originally and translated).
The discussion will focus on the attempt made by adults to shape the concept of identity of the young generation in the Israeli society in comparison to other societies in various periods, by setting various models in texts written and published by them. An examination of these attempts enables us to reveal what the adults believed was right and essential to offer the young generation as means of dealing with certain national, cultural and social circumstances.
