Description: Few democracies pursue competitive elections with so much passion, so many parties, so complex fault lines as does Israel. The nature of those fault lines and those passions are revealed in the symbolic apparatus that accompanies the election. In this book, Hanna Herzog looks closely at those symbols as emboied in Israeli election materials. It is an innovated approach to the study of plitical culture. Few have studied symbols so directly. The study makes clear that politics is more than an instrumental activity. The symbols, as found in the posters highlighted are manipulated instrumentally to win votes. But they are also deeply expressive of the social and political identities of those who create them. This book was created in 1987.
