מביאליק עד רביקוביץ: שירה פוליטית בעברית

What attracts Hebrew poets to write political poetry? To what extent did Bialik’s poem ‘In the City of Slaughter’ affect the Hebrew public? What, if anything did it change? Did Alterman’s ‘Seventh Line’ poems really frighten the British Mandate soldiers? How can one make political poetry eternal? These and other questions will be answered in this course which will provide a comprehensive overview of the basic stations in the development of Hebrew political poetry – from Bialik, through Alterman, Amichai, Wieseltier and Ravikovitch – poets who wrote particularly strong and fascinating political poetry. By reading together, we will increase our familiarity with the world of Israeli poetry and will increase our own creativity. The course will be held in Hebrew. This is a series of courses that are offered throughout the year. Different content will be taught in each course. We invite you to register for the whole series.
