Description
My academic work explores issues, themes and representations of economics in modern Hebrew and Israeli literature. Focusing on the intricate relationship between literature and economy, I am interested in examining how modern Hebrew literature reflected and shaped the charged nexus between money and Jewish and Israeli history and identity. My manuscript about representations of money, economy and debt in the works of S.Y Agnon will be published by Hebrew Union College Press in Spring 2015.
