Deeper than Oblivion: Trauma and Memory in Israeli Cinema

Editat de Raz Yosef, Boaz Hagin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 mai 2016
In this collection, leading scholars in both film studies and Israeli studies show that beyond representing familiar historical accounts or striving to offer a more complete and accurate depiction of the past, Israeli cinema has innovatively used trauma and memory to offer insights about Israeli society and to engage with cinematic experimentation and invention.

Tracing a long line of films from the 1940s up to the 2000s, the contributors use close readings of these films not only to reconstruct the past, but also to actively engage with it. Addressing both high-profile and lesser known fiction and non-fiction Israeli films, Deeper than Oblivion underlines the unique aesthetic choices many of these films make in their attempt to confront the difficulties, perhaps even impossibility, of representing trauma. By looking at recent and classic examples of Israeli films that turn to memory and trauma, this book addresses the pressing issues and disputes in the field today.

Recenzii

This intriguing collection of essays provides a perceptive and thought provoking look at Israeli cinema and its relations to Israeli society. It contains various approaches to the cinematic contemplations of 'trauma' in Israeli film, which shed new light on the fundamentals of the Israeli experience in the past decades. In going beyond the commonly discussed canon of Israeli films, the articles in Deeper than Oblivion illustrate the contour of a novel framework for the reading of Israeli cinema and its cultural significance. It is an essential addition to the growing scholarship on Israeli culture.
This timely collection offers a spectrum of critical perspectives on Israel's past and present through the lens of its cinema. In addition to examining a wide range of reactions to trauma and memory, the essays explore the tension between fiction and documentary, space and identity, and aesthetics and politics. The engaging book reveals the richness of Israeli cinema and its astonishing resonance for us today.
This collection of sophisticated articles exposes how Israeli cinema navigates the web of traumas that constitute the collective national memory as well as threaten the coherence of the familiar Zionist meta-narrative. Discussing traumas of wars, the Naqba, the Holocaust, the trauma of the perpetrator, of immigration and of dislocating others, of terrorism, of occupation, and of guilt and responsibility these articles offer critical reflection on Israeli histories and cultures.
Deeper Than Oblivion is an ambitious project that explores the representation of personal and collective traumas in Israeli cinema . . . [The book] does not simply constitute an introductory volume to key tropes in Israeli cinema, but presents a refreshingly in-depth study of questions of personal recollection, and collective and cultural memory . . . Yosef and Hagin have perfectly pitched their study
