Contents:
This seminar aims to examine the role of new media technologies in the context of authoritarian closed communities, with a specific focus on the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel. The seminar will focus on the social, political, and cultural implications of digital media in the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel today, including digital media's political power and various roles, especially its role in forming safe spaces and reframing the community's boundaries. To address these aims, the seminar will focus on mapping the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel from a historical and contemporary perspective, understanding the relationship between religion and state in Israel, and focusing on the important role of technologies in general and media technologies in particular in the ultra-Orthodox community in Israel.
In this seminar, students will be required to read and prepare literature, prepare and give short presentations, collect data, and write a final paper.
