It offers new perspectives on the evolving phenomenon of Yam Tikhoniut (hebr. Mediterraneanism), which centers around the longing to find a \'natural\' place in order that Israel be accommodated in the region, both culturally and politically. This book explores Mediterraneanism as reflected in popular music, literature, architecture, and daily life and analyzes the ways in which the notion comprises cultural identity, societal concepts, and political realities. This book is also available in paperback.Jewish identities in a changing world ;v. 11.National characteristics, IsraeliIsraelCivilizationMediterranean influencesMediterranean RegionCivilizationIsraelIntellectual lifeNational characteristics, Israeli.303.48/2569401822Nocke Alexandra1577702MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792453003321The place of the Mediterranean in modern Israeli identity3856528UNINA
