• W2890979752 abstract "Author(s): Cohen, Kfir | Advisor(s): Boyarin, Daniel; Kronfeld, Chana | Abstract: The dissertation proposes a new historical understanding of Palestinian, Israeli and French-Algerian (Beur) literary imagination beginning in second half of twentieth century. This line of thought concentrates on relationship between literary production and state formation, and in so doing contests and at times rejects historical and categories of post-Zionism and postcolonial studies, which privilege nationalism and its ideological content. Taking a new direction, dissertation advances two claims. First, I argue that to understand changes in literary form, as well as conditions for emergence of we need to account for changing conjuncture of global capital, national forms and entry of immigrant population into civil society. I maintain that as economic liberalization processes separate categories of personal and political, whether in a nationalist or ethnicized communities, civil society, as site of private, emerges as a semiautonomous third term, providing ground and forms of literary imagination. My inquiry is then attentive to consequences of privatization - establishment of NGOs in Palestine after 1993 Oslo Accords, liberalization in Israel beginning in 1985, and shift of Algerian community from immigrants to citizens in France in early 1980s - and understands them as moments of historical and transformation. Second, as sphere of life (civil society) is separated from sphere of (state), conditions for aesthetic autonomy in Immanuel Kant's sense of an activity lacking a concept emerge. For if in first historical moment immediacy of the provided determinate concept, or universal, for literary work, in second moment social separation of political from private allows for indeterminate relation between particular and universal, akin to reflective (aesthetic) judgments in Kant's sense. In Palestine (Ch. 1), I trace changes in literary imagination as Palestine enters global network of foreign capital flows. Such changes are associated with creation of proto-state institutions such as Palestinian National Authority (PA), but more importantly with constitution of a professional civil society in form of foreign funded NGOs. Such changes initiated a symbolic separation between and civil spheres and correspondingly reoriented literary gaze. As a civil activity, separated from Palestinian national struggle, now novels not only imagine Palestine through individual lives of citizens gazing into as a separate sphere, they are also written for a global rather than a Palestinian readership. Comparing between Sahar Khalifeh's Wild Thorns (al-Subar, 1976) and 21st century works of Adania Shibli, I demonstrate how latter develops figures of inwardness - diaries, letters, perception - that re-imagine relation between subject of civil society and sphere of political. In Israel (Ch. 2, 3), I trace shift from Zionist-centric to a neoliberal imagination through readings in Shimon Ballas's trilogy Tel-Aviv East, written in installments between 1950s and 1990s. Following new globalization studies on Israel, I show that since 1985 liberalization of Israeli economy altered statist model and brought about autonomization of civil society in which interests began operating separately from state. Drawing from these studies, I argue that such a structural transition concomitantly altered both social subjectivities and manner in which Israeli society is imagined. In Ballas's first and second installments, The Transit Camp and Tel-Aviv East (1950s; 1960s) we see how struggle between Zionist state and Mizrahi subaltern constitutes spatio-temporal dimensions of world such that outcome of struggle is bound up with fate of novelistic world and its space-time. In comparison, third installment, Outsiders (1990s), imagines a world where characters meet each other not as subjects but as producers and distributors of texts on grounds of a cultural industry allegorized as Israeli society as a whole. With evacuation of temporality of organization, novel takes a synchronic temporality, a spatial urban mapping based on principle of paradigmatic equivalence where all characters meet each other as equivalent identities. In France (Ch. 4, 5), I argue that shift of Algerian immigration from category of migrant devoid of rights to category of citizen in 1980s concomitantly altered nature of their literary production. If post-1945 generation was exclusively inscribed in category of labor and in category of testimony in which no separation exists between body of immigrant and his speech, then with entry into French state and separation of from political, work from culture, intellectual from manual labor, conditions for of signifier emerged. This change is most evident in generic shift from Mehdi Charef's picaresque novel Tea in Harem (Le au harem d'Archi Ahmed, 1983) to Azouz Begag's bildungsroman Shantytown Kid (Le gone du Chaâba, 1986)." @default.
