This book explores how Israeli graphic novelists present depictions
of masculinity and femininity that differ from conventional
portrayals of gender in Israeli society, rejecting the ways that
hypermasculinity and docile femininity have come to be associated
with men and women. The book is the first to explore Israeli
graphic novels through the lens of gender. It argues that breaking
down existing gender delineations with regards to masculinity and
femininity is a core feature of the Israeli graphic novel and
comics tradition and that through their works, the authors and
artists use their platforms to present a freer and looser
conceptualization of gender for Israeli society. Undertaking close
readings of Israeli graphic novels that have been published in
English and/or Hebrew in the last 20 years, the book's texts
include Rutu Modan's Exit Wounds and The Property, Ari Folman and
David Polonsky's Waltz with Bashir, Galit and Gilad Seliktar's Farm
54, and Asaf Hanuka's "The Realist". This book is of interest to
students and scholars in comics studies, Israel Studies, Jewish
Studies, and Gender Studies.
