Produktbeschreibung
Studies the contribution of Palestinian literature and theatre to Palestine's nation-building, the emergence and demise of Arab Jewish culture and identity and the interactions between both cultures This book examines Palestinian and Arab-Jewish cultures in the 20th century, especially since the 1948 Nakba, and the characteristics of each of them. Palestinian authors and men of theatre adopted the notion of commitment (iltizām) that since the 1950s has become an essential part of the vocabulary of Arab intellectuals and writers, indicating the necessity for them to convey a message rather than merely create an imaginative work for its own sake. The flowering of Palestinian culture is analysed against the backdrop of the gradual current demise of Arab-Jewish culture and identity. Key Features Discusses the role of the Nakba in shaping Palestinian literature and the emerging of Palestinian theatrical movement Presents the contribution of Maḥmūd Darwīsh in the process of Palestinian nation-building Focuses on Palestinian authors writing in Hebrew, sometimes even abandoning their mother tongue while Hebrew culture refuses to accept them as equals Provocatively rereads the history of Jewish involvement in Arabic literature Laments the demise of Arab-Jewish culture following the clash between Zionism and Arab national movement Reuven Snir is Professor of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Haifa.
