From frontier to periphery in Israel: cultural representations in narratives and counter-narratives

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Focuses on representations and images formed around the country's frontiers and peripheries, because these border landscapes served as principal sources in the creation of Israel's national iconography. They signified, to a specific social group, a symbol of something that went beyond the settlements' morphological, economic, or social structure.
