This book retells the history of Israeli film in the 1960s and
1970s in sex scenes. Through close readings of the first sex scenes
in mainstream Israeli movies from this period, it explores the
cultural and social contexts in which these movies were made. More
specifically, it discusses how notions of collective identity,
individual agency, and the public and private spheres are inscribed
into and negotiated in sex scenes, especially in light of the
historical events that marked these decades. This study thus pushes
away from the traditional academic perception of Israeli film and
opens up new ways of understanding how it has developed in recent
decades. It draws on a growing international body of academic
literature on the cinematic representation of sex in order to
illuminate the particularities of the Israeli context in the 1960s
and 1970s. Apart from film scholars and scholars of Israeli film,
this study also addresses readers interested in Israeli cultural
history more broadly.
