SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2021] Ideology and State: Visible and Invisible Borders in Modern Israel
DESCRIPTION:Until 1948 the Zionist Jewish community in Palestine (the Yishuv) lived without clear geographical borders, since the land was one geopolitical unit. During this period the Yishuv forged its national identity in opposition to Diaspora Jewry and against both British Imperialism and Arab national aspirations. After the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 and the realization of the Zionist utopia, Israeli society lived within internationally recognized boundaries. During these years the challenges of Israel were securing these visible borders and, simultaneously, drawing invisible borders within society itself, through the creation of an Israeli “consensus”. This “consensus” defined who belongs to the young society and who is defined as the “other” against whom the Israeli National sentiment is being forged. The Six-Day War created a new situation, and since 1967 Israel exists without internationally recognized borders. This situation enhanced the need within society for setting invisible borders by excluding from the “consensus” individuals and groups who questioned the Zionist national narrative. At the same time the invisible ideological borders reflect, influence and even design the political borders of the land, as the example of the separation wall in the West Bank illustrates. The aim of this panel is to explore different forms of definition and representations of invisible borders, to analyze their role in defining Israeli society from within and to reflect on their relation to the visible borders of the Land and the State of Israel.
