EYE ON PALESTINE. Ella Shohat: Framing the Colonial Present
dinsdag 20 maart 2012
Leading scholar Ella Habiba Shohat explores Israeli cinema as a site where national culture is produced and consolidated. The lecture, mainly based on the new edition of her book "Israeli Cinema: East/West and the Politics of Representation", offers a deconstructionist reading of Zionism viewing the cinema as itself participating in the 'invention' of the nation. Ella Shohat will address some of the paradoxes of this national/colonial project by unthinking the imaginary of 'East versus West'.
