The Lack of the Father: Intersections of Greek and Israeli Mythology in the Photographs of Adi Nes
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.

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.
