The Politics of Loss and Trauma in Contemporary Israeli Cinema (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

One of the most striking phenomena in contemporary Israeli cinema is the number and scope of films dealing with past traumatic events - events that were repressed or insufficiently mourned, such as the memory of the Holocaust, traumas from wars and terrorist attacks, and the losses entailed by the experience of immigration.This book examines the complex and crucial role of Israeli cinema in remembering and restaging traumas and losses that were denied entry into the shared national past.
