25 25 Present academic activities Research in progress: Language and poetics in Meir Ariel's work, expected due date: Additional Information: Frequently interviewed in television, radio and press in relation to Israeli culture and Hebrew Literature in the past ten years. Academic Profile: 1970's: Research of links between Hebrew Literature and the political tendencies in Israeli society. The research was based on the despute with formalism which ruled the Israeli academy and would not approve of the political aspect of literature, and was inspired by Hebrew researchers such as Dan Meron and Dov Sadan. The research was published in 1980, in a book called "In a Political Context: Four Essays on Writers". 1980's: Research that later evolved and changed into a more social route. The main inspiration was Walter Benjamin, and Nathan Zach's literary views. This research was published in two books, " A Sense of Place: Six Essays" in 1988, and " The Previous Chapter: On Nathan Zach at the Early 1960 s" in 's: Inspection of multiculturalism in Isreali society and literature. The research was based on a despute with post-modernism and the foloowers of Edward Said. The main theoritical 25

26 26 inspirations were the scholers who criticised post-modernism such as Jurgen Habermas and Michael Walzer. The research was published in the book "Multiculturalism versus Pluralism in Israel" in 's: The dramatic changes in Hebrew poetry and the link between poetry to rock'n'roll led to this research, which was inspired by scholers such as Raymond Williams and Marshel Berman, and Rock experts such as Elen Willis.
