O século XX representou para os judeus dispersos pelo mundo uma dupla reviravolta; por um lado, seis milhões deles foram eliminados pela matança ordenada da II Guerra Mundial, na Shoá. Nestes mesmos anos conturbados chegou ao ápice a busca de uma solução territorial e nacional para o povo. Sustentados pelos ideais desenvolvidos e estipulados pelo Sionismo, o movimento que buscou recolocar o povo judeu no antigo solo bíblico e ali tornar a fazer dele uma nação, depois de anos de embates, criou-se o Estado de Israel, o lar nacional dos judeus. A história desta luta e concretização de um sonho foi escrita por autores que baseados em seus ideais e nos da nação, redigiram-na a partir de sua face heróica, conforme o modelo que lhes fora apresentado. Nas décadas de 1980 e 1990, Israel porém presenciou um novo fenômeno cultural e político: o revisionismo histórico. Os historiadores dessa corrente (Avi Shlaim, Ilan Pappé, Simcha Flapan, Benny Morris, Tom Seguev) ao negarem a história oficial que conforme a sua concepção está baseada em mitos sionistas, promoveram uma reescrita da história, o que originou grandes debates na sociedade israelense. Tal fato repercutiu nos mais diversos segmentos do país e, em particular, na literatura, um dos focos desta tese. A obra abordada nesta tese é Roman Russi de Meir Shalev (1988), versão em português A Montanha Azul (2002). No romance A Montanha Azul, o escritor israelense contemporâneo Meir Shalev recria o cotidiano de várias famílias de pioneiros ao longo de três gerações no Vale de Jezreel, na região da Galiléia: a geração dos pais fundadores chegados à Palestina no início do século XX com a 2ª aliá; a geração dos nascidos no ishuv e, portanto, os que ajudaram a fundar o Estado judaico; e a geração nascida após a criação de Israel. A Montanha Azul nos mostra que alguma coisa deu errado, que o sonho não se concretizou em sua totalidade, que tanto esforço em parte desmoronou. A obra sinaliza para o fato de que um povo que renuncia aos seus mitos é responsável por seu próprio declínio. A obra de Shalev foi recebida como sendo anti-sionista, porém na realidade o autor critica às novas gerações que negligenciaram os valores sionistas. Não obstante, o autor aponta uma esperança quando Uri, o sabra rebelde, dá uma nova direção ao Sionismo. Esta tese se propõe a indicar como a reviravolta da história pode ser adequadamente abordada por meio de uma obra ficcional. / The 20th century represented for the Jews scattered around the world a double great change; on one hand, 6 millions of them were killed at the Shoah, the organized II WW massacre. During these same disturbed years, search for a territorial and for a national solution for the Jewish people reached its apex. Supported by ideals developed and stipulated by Zionism, the movement that intended to restore the Jewish people in the ancient biblical soil and transform it into a nation, after years and years of clashes, the State of Israel, Jews’ national home was created. History of this struggle and of the rendering of the dream was written by authors that relied on their own ideals and on those of the nation; they composed it from its heroic face, according to the national model that was presented to them. But in the 80’s and 90’s Israel witnessed a new cultural and political phenomenon: a historical revisionism. These trends’ historians (Avi Shlaim, Ilan Pappé, Simcha Flapan, Benny Morris, Tom Seguev) by denying official history which according to their conception is based in Zionist myths, promoted a rewriting of history, and this caused big debates in Israel’s society. This fact reflected in most sections of the country, particularly in literature, one of the focus of this thesis. The thesis deals with Meir Shalev’s novel Roman Russi (Hebrew original, 1988, Montanha Azul, in the Portuguese version of 2002). In this novel, Israeli writer Meir Shalev (1948) recreates daily life of several pioneers’ families through three generations in Jezreel Valley, Galilee: the generation of founding fathers which arrived to Palestine at the beginning of the 20th century with 2nd aliyah, the generation of native yishuv born, hence those that helped to create the Jewish State and the generation born after the State’s birth. Blue Mountain signalizes that something went wrong, that the dream didn’t come completely true, that such big effort fell partially to pieces. The book points to the fact that a people that renounces to its myths is responsible for its own decline. Shalev’s book was received as an anti-Zionist novel, but as a matter of fact the author censures the new generations that neglected Zionist values. Notwithstanding, the author points to some hope when Uri, the rebel sabra, signals to a new direction in Zionism. This thesis proposes to point out how the complete turning of history can be suitably approached by means of fiction.

There are many negative consequences related to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. The phenomenon of the settler's violence is one of them. The aim of the thesis is to explain the conditionality of the violence and to put it into context with Israeli political scene. A quantitative analysis is made to examine the relationship between Israeli far-right parties' electoral gains and the incidence of violence against Palestinians residents of the West Bank. Also, spatial analysis is made to measure the level of clustering of the incidents. To articulate the theoretical assumptions, the theory of social cleavages was used. In line with the assumptions, the results suggest that in Jewish settlements on the West Bank, there is statistically significant connection between Israeli far-right parties' electoral gains and the number of the violent incidents. The strongest correlation is proven between the incidents and the electoral gains of the parties influenced by Kahanism, a militant racist ideology. There is a weaker correlation between the incidence of violence and the electoral gains of the parties representing Religious Zionism, an ideology that combines religion and nationalism. The spatial distribution of the incidents was irregular. There was a clustering of high values in several areas,...

This diploma thesis deals with the situation of the Jewish minority in the first Czechoslovak Republic concentrating on Prague as a unique case of the coexistence of the Czech, German and Jewish people. The aim of the research is to analyze the role of democratic German-language periodicals in the presentation of Zionism and Judaism based on the contributions of both Jewish and non-Jewish authors, the so-called intercultural mediators, and to answer questions about the extent to which the ideas of Zionism were presented in the democratic media, and how the question of Jewish identity was addressed in the German- language liberal press. The thesis is profiled as a political-historical and cultural-historical study. The research method chosen in its elaboration is the unique case study method.
