Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The course aims at a differentiated understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict, or rather the reflection thereof in Israeli society. This aim will be achieved, first of all, by a general presentation of the conflicts historical roots; the historical presentation will be complemented by an analysis of the evolving narratives in Israeli movies from 1967-2007. The cross-reference between historical events and their representation in the cinematic genre allows for a more sophisticated analysis of the conflict and its discourse within Israeli society.
