Their social experiment lasted only eight months, but it gave birth to a powerful myth among Jewish youth which combined a story about a heroic Zionist deed, based on the trope of tragedy, with a model for a new type of community that promised no less than a total, absolute elimination of all physical and mental barriers between isolated individuals and their fusion into one entity. This entity was named "the erotic community." In its quest for human regeneration, Upper Bitania embarked on a journey into a highly specific variant of modern life that, at its core, tried to combine the most profound Nietzscheanism with the insights of Sigmund Freud, all in an anti-capitalist quest for an organic community of "new men." The quest for a "new man" was to compensate for a crisis of manliness and betrays an obsession with masculinity and male bonding, and their effects on the ideal man and woman. 410 0$aIsrael (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aMasculinity$zPalestine$xHistory 606 $aJewish men$zPalestine$xAttitudes$xHistory 606 $aJewish men$zPalestine$xPsychology$xHistory 606 $aZionism 615 0$aMasculinity$xHistory. 615 0$aJewish men$xAttitudes$xHistory. 615 0$aJewish men$xPsychology$xHistory. 615 0$aZionism. 676 $a155.332 686 $a89.29$2bcl 686 $a15.59$2bcl 700 $aNur$b Ofer Nordheimer$01636295 702 $aGrave$b Ivan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815052903321 996 $aEros and tragedy$93977480 997 $aUNINA
