Abstract

Abstract:Perfectly staged photographs that dramatize mythological stories of the geographical and cultural periphery, to which Israeli society rarely directs its attention, constitute the essence of the “Boys” series (2000) by the photographer Adi Nes. This article examines how photography employs Greek mythology to stage emancipatory horizons for those oppressed due to their ethnic identity. By exposing the core of the Classical myths, the photographs reveal their continuing relevance, as well as their formative function as a source of meaning and interpretation, and as a medium for viewing and understanding modern and contemporary art.

父亲的缺失：阿迪·内斯照片中希腊和以色列神话的交叉

摘要：完美的舞台照片将以色列社会很少关注的地理和文化边缘的神话故事戏剧化，构成了摄影师阿迪·内斯的“男孩”系列（2000年）的精髓。本文探讨了摄影如何利用希腊神话为那些因种族身份而受到压迫的人展现解放的视野。通过揭示古典神话的核心，这些照片揭示了它们的持续相关性，以及它们作为意义和解释来源的形成功能，以及作为观看和理解现代和当代艺术的媒介的形成功能。

期刊介绍： Narrative Culture is a new journal that conceptualizes narration as a broad and pervasive human practice, warranting a holistic perspective that grasps the place of narrative comparatively across time and space. The journal invites contributions that document, discuss and theorize narrative culture, and offers a platform that integrates approaches spread across various disciplines. The field of narrative culture thus outlined is defined by a large variety of forms of popular narratives, including not only oral and written texts, but also narratives in images, three-dimensional art, customs, rituals, drama, dance, music, and so forth. Narrative Culture is peer-reviewed and international as well as interdisciplinary in orientation.
