Cateva Teme ale Literaturii Israeliene din Perspectiva Diacronica
Some Themes of the Israeli Literature Regarded from a Diachronical Perspective

Summary/Abstract: It is the argument of this article that the young Israeli literature emerged in close connection with the emergence of the Israeli state, as an active part in the development of a national identity, promoting at the same time the image of a "new Jew", thus breaking up with traditional society. As far as the themes were concerned, however, it still used the old myths or even created new ones (the war, the sacrifice, the Holocaust), designed to back, from the perspective of tradition, the realities opf contemporary Israel, based on various archetypes, patterns and sociological paradigms. From the point of view of the writing itself, the authors were initially confronted with the absence of a coherent literary movement preceding the modern Israeli literature, which was thus left to build itself, as a prolongation of the European literature, its only direct tradition being that of the Diaspora.
