| Title | Sephardim on screen: History, Representation and Nationalism in two TV series |
| Summary | In this thesis, I research the connection between historical fiction and nationalism. I do a qualitative and textual analysis two TV shows, The Club and The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem, to investigate the portrayal of Sephardi Jews and how they are incorporated within a broader national narrative in Israel and Turkey. First, I focus on the different cultural representation, the vision of nationalism, and the portrayal of boundaries offered by both series. Then I examine the role of female characters and the family unit, showing how women are a central part of these representations, and how the family is used as an allegory of the nation. |
