Join us to launch "New Directions in Israeli Media: Film, Television, and Digital Content," edited by Yaron Peleg, Eran Kaplan and Ido Rosen, out this month from the University of Texas Press. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the major trends and developments in contemporary Israeli media. Among the contributors is the Schusterman Center's Senior Associate Director Dr. Shayna Weiss, who contributed the chapter, "The New Black: Haredi Jews on Israeli Television."
The launch will feature a roundtable conversation with the editors, Dr. Weiss, and several other contributors and filmmakers, to be announced.
About the book: With Israel’s position at the cutting edge of technology and virtual platforms, Israeli media has seen a boom, winning prizes at international film festivals and adapting shows like Euphoria, Homeland, and Fauda for wider audiences. In New Directions in Israeli Media, thirteen contributors detail the shifting dynamics of Israeli cinema, television, and online content in the digital age, exploring how globalization, technological advances, and changing audience preferences are reshaping creative industries. Editors Yaron Peleg, Eran Kaplan, and Ido Rosen have assembled a volume that prompts critical reflection on the intersection of art, technology, and culture in a rapidly changing media landscape.
