- Summary:
- This research seeks to understand the various 'geographies' that served as the raw materials from which the Land of Israel, as a modern national entity, was shaped. Closely reading symbols and both literary and visual imaginaries through which the Land was portrayed throughout Jewish history, I argue that the roots of Israeli architectural modernism extend beyond the immediate modern context of its architects and planners. To this end, I introduce a methodological model based on the identification of 'topologies' to trace the transformation of historical images and symbols into modern spatial frameworks. My historiographical objective is to conceptualize Israeli modernism not as a particular expression of 'core' ideas, but as emerging from its own reasoning, grounded in pre-modern foundations. By re-mapping the Israeli modern landscape, I aim to uncover the contradictions and tensions between the Land as the foundation for modern political structures and its 'other' symbolic meanings, thereby constituting it as a multilayered Land
