The author of the present article reviews the various subsequent versions of Scholem’s essay that was first published in 1947 in Hebrew in an annual literary supplement of the daily Haaretz. The essay stated Scholem’s harsh criticism against the adoption of the Star of David as a Jewish national symbol by Zionist cultural and political institutions. Earlier scholarship has shown how “Magen David” digressed from the usual topics at the focus of Scholem’s magisterial oeuvre, especially the texts of Jewish mysticism interpreted in the light of the phenomenology of religion and historical philology. The present author suggests that the methodological tools that Scholem had honed for reading historical texts on mysticism may not have the same pertinence for analyzing the historical evolvement and transformations of a symbol like the Star of David that has often appeared in contexts of everyday life, magic customs and visual culture. Scholem’s strong rejection of the holistic picture of Jewish folk religion including mystical, magical and poetic expressions, isolating mysticism from all these as a separate, philosophical discourse and phenomenon, did not enable him to see the strong identification of Jews who practiced those more concrete forms of Jewish life sometimes using the symbol of Magen David. Scholem’s choice to publish this essay in Hebrew and in a literary organ, is here interpreted as his attempt to take part in the shaping of Zionist poetical discourse. The relevance of the symbol that he chose for participating in the poetics of the era is demonstrated by an analysis of the focus on stars in the poetry of two dominant poets of Hebrew Zionist culture who were both active in the years before and after the publication of Scholem’s “Magen David” essay, Natan Alterman and Haim Gouri.","PeriodicalId":41613,"journal":{"name":"Images","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/18718000-12340066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64782334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paved the way for the politicization of the woman question by bringing the women whose personal and social histories had been left to the ‘private’ sphere to the fore. Meanwhile, a need to rethink the works, experiences and thoughts of women who took part in the women’s movement emerged. Examining the life and thoughts of Sabiha Zekeriya Sertel (1895-1968), one of the first female journalists of Turkey would be worthwhile for understanding the struggles of women, both contemporary and Republican. With her positivist, progressivist and pro-enlightenment attitude, Sabiha Zekeriya Sertel was a stubborn defender of Kemalist modernization project, even though she did not abstain from criticizing the dominant gender paradigm of the early Republican period. However, expressing the incompetency of the implementations of Republican reforms often led her to become the victim of the state policies of censor. The design of this study has been based on the observation that Sabiha Zekeriya Sertel’s publications in the framework of woman question roughly differentiated in three distinct periods. In this framework, she began to pen her first striking articles on the subordinated status of women in Büyük Mecmua magazine (1919) which was published during the chaotic atmosphere of the Armistice Period. Sertel’s approach in these writings was based on the principle of equal rights conceptualized with respect to women’s equal visibility in the public life and their desire to become Westernized. In the second period right after her return from the US and during which Turkey was passing through wide scale transformations, she continued to question the dominant gender roles, and analyze the women’s problem with a deliberate focus on the internal power relations of capitalism in her column “Cici Anne” in the Resimli Ay magazine (1924-1930) and again with the same conceptual structure in her popular column “Bana sorarsanız” (if you ask me) in the daily Cumhuriyet (1930-1931). The last phase corresponds to a period when she focused more on pieces against fascism in the daily Tan (1938-1945) during World War II and wrote relatively less on women’s issues. The paper will also touch upon Sabiha Zekeriya Sertel’s relationship with the women’s organizations in Turkey, in order to better grasp her positioning within feminism.","PeriodicalId":41613,"journal":{"name":"Images","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2016-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67771965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
