Masada Myth: Collective Memory And Mythmaking In Israel,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In 73 A.D, Legend Has It, 960 Jewish Rebels Under Siege In The Ancient Desert Fortress Of Masada Committed Suicide Rather Than Surrender To A Roman Legion. Recorded In Only One Historical Source, The Story Of Masada Was Obscure For Centuries. In The Masada Myth, Israeli Sociologist Nachman Benyehuda Tracks The Process By Which Masada Became An Ideological Symbol For The State Of Israel, The Dramatic Subject Of Movies And Miniseries, A Shrine Venerated By Generations Of Zionists And Israeli Soldiers, And The Most Profitable Tourist Attraction In Modern Israel. Benyehuda Describes How, After Nearly 1800 Years, The Long, Complex, And Unsubstantiated Narrative Of Josephus Flavius Was Edited And Augmented In The Twentieth Century To Form A Simple And Powerful Myth Of Heroism. He Looks At The Ways This New Mythical Narrative Of Masada Was Created, Promoted, And Maintained By Prestate Jewish Underground Organizations, The Israeli Army, Archaeological Teams, Mass Media, Youth Movements, Textbooks, The Tourist Industry, And The Arts. He Discusses The Various Organizations And Movements That Created 'The Masada Experience' (Usually A Ritual Trek Through The Judean Desert Followed By A Climb To The Fortress And A Dramatic Reading Of The Masada Story), And How It Changed Over Decades From A Zionist Pilgrimage To A Tourist Destination. Placing The Story In A Larger Historical, Sociological, And Psychological Context, Benyehuda Draws Upon Theories Of Collective Memory And Mythmaking To Analyze Masada'S Crucial Role In The Nationbuilding Process Of Modern Israel And The Formation Of A New Jewish Identity. An Expert On Deviance And Social Control, Benyehuda Looks In Particular At How And Why A Military Failure And An Enigmatic, Troubling Case Of Mass Suicide (In Conflict With Judaism'S Teachings) Were Reconstructed And Fabricated As A Heroic Tale.
