About this product

Product Information

Argues that the Jewish community of the era created enduring social, political, religious, and cultural forms through public events, such as festivals, performances, and celebrations.

Reviews
Through the prism of beauty, dance, and the first Maccabiah, core ideological struggles are revealed for the emergent cultural themes in Mandatory Palestine and continuing in Israeli society. Anchored in interdisciplinary perspectives, Dr. Spiegel weaves together an original, fascinating, and insightful story of the social and cultural life of the Yishuv., By focusing on three of the major cultural innovations of early Zionism-beauty contests, sports, and dance-Nina S. Spiegel provides a clear, concise, and comprehensive guide to that fascinating period of ferment and ingenuity: the attempt to rejuvenate Jewish culture according to the tenets of European nationalism and resurrect it anew in the Land of Israel in the first half of the twentieth century., This is a book that I have wanted to read for a long time. Nina Spiegel demonstrates how British-Mandate Palestine constructed a public culture premised on corporeality and how new forms of folk dance, theatrical dance, sport, and festival embodied the tensions and debates of an emerging nation-one poised between past and present, East and West, sorrow and celebration. Embodying Hebrew Culture enriches and amplifies our understanding of performance and politics in twentieth-century culture., [This] book offers a significant contribution to the understanding of the richness and diversity of perfonnative culture in Mandatory Palestine. [It] shed[s] light on the interconnections and interactions within the field of the performing arts, along with its social, cultural, and aesthetic aspects., Spiegel provides a clear, concise and comprehensive guide to that fascinating period of ferment and ingenuity.
