It argues that breaking down existing gender delineations with regards to masculinity and femininity is a core feature of the Israeli graphic novel and comics tradition and that through their works, the authors and artists use their platforms to present a freer and looser conceptualization of gender for Israeli society. Undertaking close readings of Israeli graphic novels that have been published in English and\/or Hebrew in the last 20 years, the book’s texts include Rutu Modan’s \u003ci\u003eExit Wounds\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Property\u003c\/i\u003e, Ari Folman and David Polonsky’s \u003ci\u003eWaltz with Bashir\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eGalit and Gilad Seliktar’s \u003ci\u003eFarm 54\u003c\/i\u003e, and Asaf Hanuka’s \"The Realist\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is of interest to students and scholars in comics studies, Israel Studies, Jewish Studies, and Gender Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54242836545880,"sku":"9780367713522","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367713522.jpg?v=1777688140","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/gender-and-sexuality-in-israeli-graphic-novels-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
