Imre Kertesz:
El paseante solitario en Buda |
La figura del paseante solitario en la ciudad, disfrutando del anonimato y el movimiento urbano, tiene cierta completud. No pensamos: “Qué paseante?”, “Qué ciudad?”, “Cuál es la relación entre ellos?” Imaginamos al paseante como un hombre desprejuiciado en busca de solaz, saliendo al encuentro de la ciudad indiferente, también ella desprejuiciada. Sin embargo, para entender a Imre Kertesz como paseante solitario en Budapest (en rigor, como paseante en Buda, la parte de la ciudad que se encuentra al oeste del Danubio) debemos hacernos esas tres preguntas. Y responder, algo esquemáticamente: El paseante solitario es un judío, la ciudad es una ciudad gentil, y la relación entre ellos es de hospedaje, es decir, de extranjería.

Best of Both Worlds?:
High-tech in the Service of the Rabbis |
Are the new opportunities for ultra-orthodox women's employment by Israeli high-tech firms a step in the right direction for incorporating these religious communities into the larger productive society? Or is this another gateway for modernized exploitation of women by their own communities and the employing firms?

Breaking the Myth of Semantics:
Post-Zionism Doesn't Exist |
"The arguments called "post-Zionist" have various aspects - not only political but also cultural. They view Zionism as a colonial phenomenon, not as a national movement that is contending with another, Palestinian, national movement over its claim to the same territory. Some of those who are called "post-Zionists" go even further in their argument that the very existence of a Jewish people is a "narrative" that was invented in the 19th century, and that the Jews are at base a religious community."

Refining Definitions:
Civic Equality does not mean Freedom of Immigration |
In Israel everything is linked to the rest: law, politics, security, demographics, society and economics. So are immigration policies, human rights and civic equality.
In this article, Prof. Gavison brings her analysis of the complex issues that have to be addressed while considering the legal situation regarding Israel's immigration policies.
