A new country, citizenship, language, and institutions needed to be imagined in order to be created. The arts, too, have contributed to this act of envisioning and shaping the Jewish state. By examining artistic representations of Israel, Imagined Israel(s): Representations of the Jewish State in the Arts explores the ways in which the Israel imagined abroad and the one conjured within the country intersect, offering a space for the co-existence of sociopolitical, cultural, and ideological differences and tensions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures    Introduction   Rocco Giansante and Luna Goldberg    Part 1: Building from the Ground Up: Landscape, Language,  and Culture  1 The Visual Type as an Image of a People: Hebrew Typography throughout History and Its Representation of Jewish and Israeli Identity   Guy Eldar    2 Fictional Canon: Reconsidering Karl Schwarz’s Modern Jewish Art in Eretz Yisrael   Noa Avron Barak    3 Taming the Levant: Reflections on Zionism, Orientalism, and Depictions of Tel-Aviv-Jaffa in Israeli and International Comics   Ofer Berenstein    Part 2: Consuming Images: Israel in America  4 Fractured Communities, Anxious Identities: Reconsidering Israel on the American Stage   Ellen W.
