Abstract

ABSTRACT:I argue that many contemporary Israeli films and TV shows imagine an operation of "world reduction"—an entry into social spaces that entails neutralizing social forces. The article gives three examples for this operation: in the TV show Fauda and in the films In Between and The Band's Visit. I argue that the resulting juxtaposition of different social spaces in each film or TV show is an allegory of the coexistence of different social forms under Israeli capitalism: welfare state, neoliberalism, and absolute precarity. For example, I argue that traditional Arab-Israeli social spaces stand for the welfare state in In Between, while Tel Aviv allegorizes neoliberal social form. The article argues that these three forms coexist in Israel, as a result of the uneven neoliberalization of Israel/Palestine. By indirectly imagining these spaces, the films and TV shows try to unconsciously imagine the overcoming of their antagonisms and this of capitalism itself.
当代以色列电影和电视的世界还原
摘要:我认为,许多当代以色列电影和电视节目都在想象一种“世界还原”的操作——一种进入社会空间的方式,需要中和社会力量。本文列举了电视剧《福达》、电影《Between》和《乐队来访》中的三个例子。我认为,每部电影或电视剧中不同社会空间的并置,都是对以色列资本主义下不同社会形式共存的寓言:福利国家、新自由主义和绝对不稳定。例如,我认为传统的阿拉伯-以色列社会空间在中间代表福利国家,而特拉维夫则寓言了新自由主义的社会形式。本文认为,由于以色列/巴勒斯坦的新自由主义化不平衡,这三种形式在以色列共存。通过间接地想象这些空间,电影和电视节目试图无意识地想象克服它们的对抗以及资本主义本身的对抗。
