Contents:
Israel is a multicultural society diverse through ethnicity, migration, religion, politics, economics, gender, geography, and more. These characteristics are issues for inequality and enmity as well as celebration and cultural enrichment. In this course, we will explore Israeli society, the fundamental issues, the current events, and the historical roots, of a young and vibrant society shaping its present and debating its future. In this journey, we will utilize the mediated sphere (e.g., mainstream, minority, foreign/international, and social networks) reflecting the societal role of media in Israel. While the course reading will include theoretical and empirical scientific literature, the consumption of news, movies, television series, social media influencers, etc. operated/produced by Israelis or discussing Israelis (including German and international sources) is highly encouraged during the semester.
