From “A Flag Is Born” To “Fauda”: The Image of Israel in American Culture
Hosted By: The Siegal Lifelong Learning Program at Case Western Reserve University
Even as it has taken its place among the world’s most powerful nations, Israel continues to exert a potent influence on the imagination. In this multimedia lecture, historian Ted Merwin traces the evolution of the U.S.-Israel relationship in visual art, photography, performing arts, film, and TV. From the 1940s theatrical pageant “A Flag is Born” to the 1960s Paul Newman film, “Exodus,” to American magazine covers during the Six Day War, to the current crop of binge-worthy Israeli TV shows, our perceptions of the Jewish state are conditioned just as much — if not more — through culture as they are through foreign relations, diplomacy, and defense-related cooperation.
