Research Topic: Michel Foucault's Political Philosophy and Its reception in Israel

Supervisor: Moshe Sluhovsky

Abstract: My research presents the agents and institutions that brought the political ideas of Michel Foucault from France and the United States to Israel. In addition, I ask what are the processes that the knowledge itself went through. Beginning in the 1990s, Foucault and postmodern ideas influenced political and cultural discourse in Israel. Postmodernism in Israel has both enemies and supporters, both in the right-wing and the left-wing political discourse. My research will present the role that these ideas played in Israeli politics and culture.
