This is a new edition of Israeli Cinema with a substantial new
postscript that reflects on the book's initial reception and points
to exciting new trends in the cinematic representation of Israel
and Palestine.
Ella Shohat explores the cinema as a productive site of national
culture, dating back to the early Zionist films about
tu-of-the-century Palestine. She offers a deconstructionist
reading of Zionism, viewing the cinema as itself participating in
the "invention" of the nation. Unthinking the Eurocentric imaginary
of "East versus West," Shohat highlights the paradoxes of an
anomalous national/colonial project through a number of salient
issues, including the Sabra figure as a negation of the "Diaspora
Jew," the iconography of the land of Israel as a denial of
Palestine, and the narrative role of "the good Arab." The new
postscript examines the emergence of a richly multiperspectival
cinematic space that transcends earlier dichotomies through a
palimpsestic and cross-border approach to Israel / Palestine.
