Google Preview: In this book Ari Ofengenden examines the ways that Israel's integration into global economy has affected its main stream culture. Ofengenden uses works of Israeli film, literature, and television, from the past 30 years to conceptualize the changes in Israel's culture. He analyzes the central phenomena associated with Israel's integration into the global economy including: the demise of realism and the rise of commercial culture, the production of film, television, and novels for western audiences, and the critiques of capitalism in media. Ofengenden also explores the refiguring national identity through critique of masculinity. The book also discusses the affect globalization and marketization has had on modern narratives of the Arab-Israeli conflict.; Acknowledgements Introduction Chapter One: Economics and Cultural Globalization in Israel: A Historical Introduction Chapter Two: Marketization in Israeli Television, Film and Literature Chapter Three: It Ain't Europe Here Chapter Four: Refiguring National Identity under Globalization Chapter Five: The New Discourses or the Culture of the Left Chapter Six: New Dystopias in Israeli Fiction Chapter Seven: The Conflict Beyond Nationalism: The Second Intifada in Film and Narrative Conclusion: Contextualizing Israel in a Global Knowledge-Society Bibliography About the Author; Google Preview content
