Borders, Territories, and Ethics: Hebrew Literature in the Shadowof
the Intifada by Adia Mendelson-Maoz presents a new perspective on
themultifaceted relations between ideologies, space, and ethics
manifested incontemporary Hebrew literature dealing with the
Israeli-Palestinian conflictand the occupation. In this volume,
Mendelson-Maoz analyzes Israeli prose written between 1987 and
2007, relating mainly to the first and second in tifadas, written
by well-known authors such as Yehoshua, Grossman, Matalon,
Castel-Bloom, Govrin, Kravitz, and Levy. Mendelson-Maoz raises
criticalquestions regarding militarism, humanism, the nature of the
State of Israel asa democracy, national identity and its borders,
soldiers as moral individuals,the nature of Zionist education, the
acknowledgment of the Other, and the sovereignty of the subject.
She discusses these issues within two frameworks. The first draws
on theories of ethics in the humanist tradition and its critical
extensions, especially by Levinas. The second applies theories of
space, and inparticular deterritorialization as put forward by
Deleuze and Guattari andtheir successors. Overall this volume
provides an innovative theoretical analysis of the collage of
voices and artistic directions in contemporary Israeli prose
written in times of political and cultural debate on the occupation
and its intifadas.
