“Neither here nor there” - Flattening, omission, and silencing, in the constructing of identity of Islamic girls who attend a Je / Ben-Asher, Smadar; Ben-Yehoshua, Naama Sabar; Elbedour, Aya   Journal Article
Ben-Asher, Smadar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article presents narratives of young Bedouin women who attended Jewish schools. An analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with eight young women after they graduated high school and completed academic graduate studies was carried out by examining three mechanisms of choice of identity (Spector-Mersel) through the prism of the unsayable. The findings show a process fraught with representations of personal and social identities, demonstrating differences between their traditional society and the Western society in which they were educated. These point to the strength, security, and autonomy that these students developed, while also reflecting the high cost they had to pay.

Attitude of the local press to marginal groups: between solidarity and alienation / Ben-Asher, Smadar; Ben-Atar, Ella   Article
Ben-Asher, Smadar Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the 2001‒2003 coverage by the local press in the Haifa region of the struggle of the fishermen who claimed to have contracted cancer as a result of coming into contact with the polluted water of the Kishon River. It shows that the local press chose to deliver to its readers an ‘interpretive package’ that portrays the fishermen as ‘The River’s Heroes’, a group fighting for justice and morality for the benefit of all. However, alongside the favourable framing were also some of the writers’ stereotypical elitist perceptions, at times explicit and at others implicit, of the fishermen. In the case of the Kishon fishermen, whereas the local press played an important role in covering their struggle, it only partially presented the solidarity dimension wherein the differences between people and groups constitutes the basis for moral relations between them.
