The essays in this anthology study Israeli television, its
different forms of representation, audiences and production
processes, past and present, examining Israeli television in both
its local, cultural dynamics, and global interfaces. The book looks
at Israeli television as a creator, negotiator, guardian and warden
of collective Israeli memory, examining instances of Israeli
original television exported and circulated to the US and the
global markets, as well as instances of American, British, and
global TV formats, adapted and translated to the Israeli scene and
screen. The trajectory of this volume is to shed light on major
themes and issues Israeli television negotiates: history and
memory, war and trauma, Zionism and national disillusionment, place
and home, ethnicity in its unique local variations of Ashkenazim
and Mizrahim, immigrants from the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia,
Israeli-Arabs and Palestinians, gender in its unique Israeli
formations, specifically masculinity as shaped by the military and
constant violent conflict, femininity in this same context as well
as within a complex Jewish oriented society, religion, and
secularism. Providing multifaceted portraits of Israeli television
and culture in its Middle Eastern political and local context, this
book will be a key resource to readers interested in media and
television studies, cultural studies, Israel, and the Middle East.
