Good afternoon and welcome, everybody. Delighted to present our speaker today.
Professor, I'd appreciate Ski, who is the senior lecturer at the Department of Strategy and Anthropology at the Western Galilee College.
Does research interests are in the area of anthropology of Judaism and the
immigration from the former Soviet Union to Israel and the immigrants in Israel.
Her recent articles Dealing with the pain.
One point five generation of Russian speaking immigrants in Israel were published in such journals as Jordan of Israeli history,
ethnic and racial studies, ethnicities and social identities. And the title of her talk today is Connecting Ethnicity and Space.
The New Russian Misrati Mediterranean Pop Culture in Israel's Periphery.
Thank you so much for joining us. Hello, everybody.
Thank you, Yakult, for inviting me to participate in this seminar.
And I would like to present today my new research involves a process of its Mazola hood from Hebrew misere east,
which means sterilisation or utilisation in wanting to adopt Eastern culture.
Experience it. Marry a Russian speaking immigrants in Israel from one and a half generation,
and I will analyse this process as it's expressed in the field of popular culture.
First of all, I would like to explain the meanings of one whole generation because my research specifically wrote of his group of Russian
immigrants in this facility is a distinction between different generations of immigrants is based on the age of the arrival.
Is the first generation of immigrants are false?
Who came to the new country as adults is the second generation as children of immigrants who were born in the new country.
In Zarghun, an account generation stands in the middle between the first and the second generations.
Is there one in a holding a nation of immigrants who came to the new country as older children or adolescents
from six to 16 years old cannot resume the legacies of their early social behaviours from their native countries?
In the new countries, they learnt to adapt to the cultures, local schools, military universities and colleges in today, Israel.
Israel is the term one, and a whole generation of Russian Jews has become very popular because there's a group of Russian speaking
activists and social activists who promote their ethnic culture is in various public Hebrew language media.
In another one explains the meaning of Adama's report. There isn't that ization of Russian immigrants,
and they should mention that is the freedom of immigration from former Soviet Union, which started 30 years ago.
There has been almost one million of Russian speaking Jews, and this is the largest immigrant immigration group in Israel.
And I think it's very important to understand the ethnic identity of the Jews from
the former Soviet Union and the Russian speaking immigrants who arrived in Israel
as part of this wave of massive immigration has been described in the Israeli
sociology as part of the Western Ashkenazi hegemony in the European and Israeli Jews,
which typically entails Orientalists perceptions of Mizrachi Jews and Palestinians in Israel.
So they, though, imported from the former Soviet Union to Israel and the relationship between Russian immigrants and veterans roughly relate
to residents of development towns in the spirit that has been characterised as marked by strong ethnic ethnic tensions.
And it was described, for example, in the book The Debates.
If by the end, Jacobi and the current lecture challenges of his view, exploring new tendencies,
suggesting that younger Russian immigrants have overcome this Orientalist perceptions and experiences as a process of three times at a hotel.
Eastern sterilisation is a process of sterilisation by Russian immigrants is very broad.
First of all, at least 30 percent of Russian immigrants settled in.
The Israel periphery is a nawfal south of the country.
The courses they look for affordable living.
And after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, most of the Russian Jews came to Israel, result mining and without property.
And many young immigrants grew up in Israel. Israel's periphery risen is.
And as neighbours, friends and classmates. And as a result, many of them married Mizrahi's process.
And they're free Maine R.A. or his authorisation of rations begin immigrants.
The first one is intermarriage is intercultural marriage between Russian speaking immigrants and native Islam from his native origin.
For example, Russian woman who dates only visit his Iraqi partners in finally married Misrati, men started to prepare Zacky food.
Listened with Russian music and keep Jewish tradition cautious.
And Shabbat. According to the traditional families of Zimmy, Zailckas poses in some immigrant women from former Soviet Union.
Vicha, interviewed for this research, told me that they have Bekim Moroccan in there it.
Everyone thinks that they're real Moroccans. It's very interesting.
And this is a very common phenomenon. This is a result of the class stato similarity between the two groups of Russian and Misner Jews who belong
to the lower economic class and their core residents in geography and social periphery or for Israel.
Many gizzle, many Russian immigrants experience a rapid downward social mobility in Israel after the immigration.
And this is a classic similarity between these two groups.
As the second in, the second expression of extreme exertion is the creation of hybrids,
the Russian Misrati Mediterranean brands of popular culture, which whichever will present today.
And this is a very colourful and fascinating phenomenon.
And we will see and we will see it in my in my lecture.
And that I will present that in the field of view, mainly as a field of popular music, as it felt, for example.
It is the first example of sterilisation is in the field of social activism.
There is a collaboration between Russian speakers,
social activists from one generation and social activists from the Misrata protest movement such as Deqi Cell.
From our space to craft a field forward from Coffee Gibraltarian or Year COHA from Baqubah.
To clear in that he described this process in my article about NOVAGOLD celebration
and the collaborations between Iraqi activists and Russians became activists.
And my analysis in this lecture is Santarus. On to music clits producer debate.
Russian speaking intrapreneurs Habibie.
I knew by organise banned the yellow Tylenol by Mediteranean Russian girl and also I will analysed the photography
works of you and your crew backoff and she participated in the same series are similar freshfields in your religious.
And I will see fragments from this film and I will focus in my lecture on the urban spaces of Israel,
geographic and social periphery, the Norfolk and seaside town like Arko and its social periphery.
And I will speak about but young and rambling as arenas or think, the cultural encounter in between different immigrant groups.
There is a new culture style is emerging. Is the frame of this music in a clip's bill think up as a theological freshens space?
My main research question questions focus on the Ignace. It's from a spatial perspective versus space.
From the ethnic in perspective is the main question, sir.
How ethnic relations in categorisations influenced by space.
How do auburn spaces change and transform as a result of mass migration?
Is the presence of different ethnic groups shading? The city was in the neighbourhood and the last one?
What does a new symbolic meaning of space appearing is the popular culture productions created by immigrants.
I will explain about about the methodology of my research.
I am the anthropologist. So this is a graphic research.
One generation, one and a half and six years ago,
I began following the online forum and live even organised events organised by generations one and a half group of Russian speaking immigrants.
And they foser. And they interviewed most social activists from his group and from the current research.
I interviewed seven more Russian immigrant artists like belly dancers Deji of Guinea,
Mizrachi seniors, southern Mediterranean, Russian girls and we will see today videos.
As a member of the band, Orgasmatron also will see historic often remembered as a band system.
Mali and photographer on your call.
And also recently I interviewed two Rinty, younger Russian immigrants who grew up is a very, very nice and the marriage to visit Misrati partners.
So this is ethnographic research about it was it was that a hotel is authorisation of Russian immigrants.
And that will explain the theoretical background of the research in which it runs or the combination of concepts such such as how denialism,
periphery, ethnicity speciality is the context of migration.
And then we'll speak firstly about orientalism amongst Soviet Jews in Israel.
Society is the group of Mizrahi who originate in North Africa and Middle East should be understood in relation to Ashkenazim,
Jews of European and North American origins. Ashkenazi largely belong to the IPCC strata of Israel society, and thus it is unmarked.
The group are not identified as ethnic contrary to them.
Mr. Rahim are recognised as ethnic category due to their pale skin and cultural resemblance.
Dawkins's, as in Russian immigrants,
are not identified with any ethnic culture since ethnicities received more in Zim is right in on the white context.
Is the firm of ethnic power relations and is a society, since its establishment causes Ashkenazy political cultural hegemony and then defined after
the mass immigration wave in the 1950s after the establishment of the state in Africa.
You also identify with the Arabic speaking cultures in the east and considered inferior and backwards.
Most research on when first generation Russian immigrants in Israel assumes their affiliation as Ashkenazim and attributes
to them and are to least the view of both Mr Heman Palestinians imported from the former Soviet Union to Israel.
And we'll see today how young immigrants from former Soviet Union and display greet identification with Mizrahi.
Then you visit Kinzie and challenge. I, in the least is the use of the violence.
In the second part of vertical background is about to Islam in Russian immigrants in Israel
prefer the top periphery is usually associated in Islam with a particular style of urbanism.
The development tunnels located more cities of frontier artists are sold, some of them, like Lord Theama, close to television.
Between 1949 to nineteen sixty three was the state of Israel established twenty eight new towns to develop manufacturing
industries in hostile borders is a majority of their residents were recent immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East.
It was nothing who resettled there in volunteering during the first 20 years of the establishment or freezer.
And these towns became sites of poverty and deprivation.
And in the 1980s, close to a quarter of all the Russian immigrants moved to development towns, mainly because of cheaper housing and living costs.
Russian immigrants present a threat is a form of competition or very limited economic resources available in development funds such as employment,
housing and welfare services. And this led to conflicts and hostilities between Russian immigrants and Iraqi Jews.
And they still grow. Groups call residing in Israel benefiting.
And in the 1980s and early 2000s, remarks about ethnic tensions between these two groups and recent Russian immigrants.
And the mutual negative stereotyping. And the purple popular culture produced by young Russian immigrants that we will see today.
The challenges this fight him by describing Israel's periphery as third place space.
Third space, which is an active and creative space which bridges between these two worlds.
This third place is alternative social arena. Separate from the isolated first place of home is the second place the fork.
I didn't walk in his book argued that this is an open public environment of Catholic affairs clubs, libraries,
streets and parks that are very important to civil engagement of citizens and suggests postmodern calls concept of third space bricks.
As this first and second place loyalism and propose a process, a dynamic force and a radical open perspective,
solve the peripheral urban spaces that appear in the examined clips,
which we will see today comprise a third place that combines in bridges between
the two cultures of Russian speaking immigrants and miscible could use a space.
Is the potential off for resistance, subversion, struggle and negotiation and the third and its critical base of Moonen.
Such is the theory of racial and ethnic space in several social issues,
such as develop it to refresh a space that examines the connexion between spatial and racial processes.
And according to Nielsen Sammara, the racial and spatial processes can be seen as the dialectic in nature.
Racial interactions. Eyeball coloured people construct the spaces, then habits, and in turn, making a space is also what's making Xerox.
Space is a contested to vocal multifocal fluid interactional in infused.
Social inequality and culture and popular culture stance is the media release reciprocal relations between ethnicity, race and space.
This theoretical analysis of racial and ethnic space could expand his understanding
of such a cultural phenomena from popular culture as hip hop communities of wiggers.
In one boost United States and in Mozarteum music in Israel, periphery is the soulful frizzle,
as was described, for example, by Sidell film fill in show articles.
And also my case of Russia is in popular culture.
And now I will present is selecting findings and it will present some sections.
You hear from Zig Neith reviews with Russian speaking artists and their musical video clips.
All of them spoke about the significance of police, a split of Faryal place, and it's the influence on their identity and our talks.
And now I will explain about the band name Aragonite M.
The minute. The band Aragonite was founded by a group of Russian speaking youth who grew up in Ikara is Sete, so say Tharman.
Israel's north was a mixed Arab and Jewish population, despite the cheering, some in its same.
The band broke up two, three years ago, and its three members are now performing separately.
Aragonite defined its music style as Soviet Middle Eastern roof.
This hybrid is a band member, Ladino,
which interviewed each and inserted four immigrated to Israel from Baku as thereby John at the age of six in 1991.
In his interview, he describes the harsh experiences or for Russian immigrant bullying in a peripheral city with mixed Zirkin Arab population in.
And he told me his interview when he immigrated to Israel, relations between Russians and Mizrachi, him in alcohol, were terrible.
I don't blame the kids because there's no adjusting mirror image of the parents.
I remember Zimm is roughly children's, where he raised this speech. They were constantly making fun of me for being Russian.
There were also fights with Arabs. The state should have made greater efforts to stop.
Sauropods is a better way.
On the other hand, as time went by, they began to absorb the local culture at first to make France's local Mizrahi Israelis.
And then he started using the expressions we want to take to do something that would
represent this mix in post Soviet Mediterranean mutation set in the Middle East.
At first, both sides kept their distance. And we felt like islands.
The hostilities are two events through the in the band.
We wanted to voice our experience in our clips and songs.
Eventually, in organ night, we focussed on positive things.
Since everything turned out key because Zim is Raheem aren't to blame.
That's why I'm not angry at anyone. If I meet his gaze today, I will target kissing him.
I will fights AIDS the best, the pain and pains of the immigration process.
And we will see. The video clip. And I just want to explain that this video clip is Aragonite of illusion of the portly Arabic song Habibie.
He knew and it was filmed in Jaffa. It is the songs.
The lyrics are mostly in English with some Arabic, Russian in Hebrew, drawn, drawn in them.
And Vadim left Dachau and now lives in the Arab dominated Jaffa.
The historical call of the rivers is sort of south of the city where he has to do designing and producing video clips.
He explained that the bands tourists of Habibie and stemmed from a desire to make a Kolber of an
R&D kid that was well known locally and globally and often played a Jewish Mizrachi parties.
And for example, it's possible to see this Arabic song as a project of forgiver the families Misratah band and the health performance of him.
It could be beating. And their idea was to combine the visibility of Russian speakers in Russian accents with Hebrew,
Arabic and English into live multicultural visibility.
It policed by merging different closing styles and Fuld's Russian gawp Knick's in in Russian Gopnik its underclass sub Orben men varying.
I did as jumpsuits in Smolkin caucus, the Russian grandmother wearing kerchief in suits and boring the thinnest sauce and
Kosheh cooked read their greens in the salt includes a cameo by Ms singer George VI,
who recorded the original song KBB only in the nineteen nineties and in Georgia Bar actually appears in the video singing the refrain in Arabic.
So now we will see is a clip here.
One minute. I had it on me.
It's OK, it's broken. I don't hear you.
It's frozen on my side, I think. You don't do.
Here's the music. No place for a second, and then it became silent.
We can try and upload it to my site. Let me know why this is second.
But do you see the picture, but not here? Now it's frozen, everything is frozen for some reason.
Let me try show on my side. Yes. Still, you know, it's a dance is a big you know, it seems to be working.
There is no voice again. And thinking it, that's more compelling cause I think the problem of obesity is in New York state, the states.
Can you amuse yourself? I am not sure. What?
Why is Richard. On my side. So just to know that I posted a link to the video on the chat with this.
But for some reason I cannot on YouTube. Let me do it again.
This is weird. Can you even know? Yes. Thank you. It just it.
I want to share my. Would you can you see my presentation?
Yes. Yes. Yes. You said yes.
The symbol of organised band, right? Yes.
OK. So the question is, what does it mean, a goal of all of these lot of real motives?
Popular music in Israel has recently seen a surge, a surge in the use of Arabic by popular Jewish musicians,
descendants of immigrants from the Arabic countries with Iraqi Jews for their songs.
The sound of Arabic has become culturally legitimate is in your ways, Wolf, as a static resource and as a marker of Mizrachi Jewish heritage.
It is a part of Xenu Mizrahi renaissance ended.
There's a new article for my present country and they describe this process of the usage of Arabic in the Misrati music.
Today, in Russian speaking, artists adapt Arabic usage from these Mizrachi artists and activists.
In other words, Arabic culture in language is mediated by the culture of Mizrachi Jews.
And Radim explained that the centrally centrally located Jaffa, where the clip was filmed,
serves as a proxy for the north, and there are thousands of Uecker comparing it to towns, he said in an interview.
I was a big influence on us because Rut's is where we grew up.
Repsol was there actually actual Iraqi culture. And that's where Brown brought it from.
We don't have that here in Jaffa. Archaia isn't in the periphery.
Simple people who work in local factories and live in the blocks are all together.
They shoot one another is. The clip is set in Jaffa as the Peery Federal Police.
The opening scene shows the younger Russian immigrants sitting in an old town square
and respray represents Uecker where everyone is and called it Russian immigrants.
In a jumpsuits I did as jumpsuits with his plastic beach shoes, handing out Mizrahi's bogus karaoke machine in caucus.
Watching football, it again took given blink schervish. These are Mugabi is meant to represent the Russian post-Soviet Israeli Misrati culture in the
peripheral Wilborn space appears here as a third space site of resistance in which new identities.
They now Mixtec shape the two social groups whose relations are marked by conflicts and hostility can cooperate.
Copyright reserves of third space on the periphery. Now we will introduce emitted Iranian in a Russian girl.
In extending a Sova immigrated from Moscow to Israel and Chavous, 50.
She's now 34 and walks as an art director in an order to sizing agents in Tel Aviv.
She has invented an avatar known as Mediteranean Russian Girl, which is colourful and humoristic figure.
Senator Mediteranean Russia persona looks like a Russian fairy tale princess who feels that this Mizrachi elements she wears the long braids.
Traditional Russian headscarf in the white dress is red Nichols overreach.
This is sports immersive Mizrachi style gold chain in high medallion and for immigrants raised in the former Soviet Union.
Her image invokes the iconic Soviet chocolate brand along with the chocolate of my childhood, and she explained me in the interview.
When they came to Israel, they settled was settled a bit. Arctica It's a living suburb and it was a cultural shock.
I came home and my neighbours were listening to Learn Kiss, a popular Mizrahi's singer.
What's in that is the culture. And you start learning it without music.
Sounded very different and new to me. Sorry about if you see this mizrahi's singers and listened to them for many years.
Accenture lifted in Bethlehem, a suburb south of Tel Aviv,
in a neighbourhood called Shaquana left Hadash Xinyu Immigrants Block or also she has
recently moved to Tel Aviv and they interviewed her exactly before her moving to Tel Aviv.
And around 30 percent of Bethlehem residents are immigrants from Russian, from former Soviet Union.
Make it, Maiken. It's one of the Israeli cities with the highest proportion of these immigrants.
In an interview held in Hobart apartment, she said, I knew was.
Conflict between Russian immigrants and misere Mizrahi.
But that hasn't touched me. Soon after arrival, I heard from a Russian speaking France about bullying and fights.
This means nothing. The Russian children called them Mizrahi apes and primitive.
But in fact, they got on well with most Israeli students into doing.
They have lots of Misrati friends. I think there is too much talk about inequality and discrimination.
That must stop being the focus. Enjoy life and create.
You have to turn a new page, leaving behind past conflicts.
And that's it. The Stones are some YALLAH Tylenol tries to get out this very message that we are all brothers and sisters and we're in it together.
And the physical cliff was a song really kind of by her was filled in, but young, mainly in her own backyard record in extended explained.
You just get out on the street and look around. No need to invent anything.
Zarafshan, Mediterranean style is a significant part.
But young in this neighbourhood. My own backyard is a little Russia in Israel, in Mediterranean, Russia.
On the one side, you have Russia neighbours and all the other side, Israeli Mazursky.
Then this shows a clip.
We simply walked around the streets of the neighbourhood and the lyrics of the song Amirli in Hebrew with rational expressions.
In here you can see the translation of the song to English and I just will read the couple sentence from it.
Yallah, it's Arabic for go ahead. We're starting. It was the longest to record in the world.
The fault. It would never end. But everyone's got a rising pulse.
Here it comes. Laughing Smoking caucus colourfulness and Strauss.
Everyone's content. We're all brothers. Zebra's is coming in today.
They're all flying in that suit.
And this is a song. So can you please show it from your end?
I'll do my best. Yes, a second.
He got a lot of stuff, he said my.
It's by. Yeah, yeah.
And that's because we have no time. OK. Let me just put you back.
Yes, please share your illness. And so the video clip is composed of several rapidly shifting kaleidoscopic since it's big.
It begins is a very short of iconic Arch and Fontaine's of the entrance to the entrance to the club,
followed by a cluster of old tenement house systems and you near to health department.
The film crew walked around the streets and shot an authentic slice of neighbourhood life in the rational within.
Images blend together, becoming inseparable, with Russian and Mediterranean culture elements, closing styles,
suggestive speech, music, dance and religious Jewish custom in the vigorous name message is togetherness.
The Russians and Mizrahi are connected, sharing time and food and dancing together.
The spatial aspect of this connexion is important.
The urban peripheral space transforms into symbolic containers that produces encounters in negotiation,
challenging Zied Essentialists identities of both groups, enabling various modes of interchange.
Now I would like to present as a third example.
It's OK. And I was present as a case of Onya, QPR called him Anya Copac of his 37 years old.
She emigrated from Kiev in Ukraine at the age of eight in 1991.
Today, she's married to me, is an African man and lives in Tel Aviv.
She grew grew up in Ramlet in the Ramadan neighbourhood, and 30 percent of Ramlet also our residents.
Residents which are immigrants from former Soviet Union.
And she described her life in in the Romney.
Romney is a story of different ethnic communities. There are neighbourhoods which are like get us of Russian immigrants, Buhari, Jews and Arabs.
I call it the ghetto because it was composed of closed neighbourhoods.
Russian neighbourhoods were very distinct, Xaver, very specific types of building.
In early 90s, the small as the neighbourhood, the biggest problems because there was no possibility to escape were children.
Our neighbourhood, Ramadan was very small Zionsville. A lot of sad stories.
It took place. It was a close to my parents workplace, and they think that my parents didn't understand what it means to live in a community town.
For teenagers, it was probably maitake because they had nothing to do there.
They had no way out of town. All all there are only buildings and orchards.
It is destined for disaster risk, problems of boredom.
Then there are all sorts of dangerous things here. There was a lot of crime using knives.
This is what happened that day in my outlook. Today, I returned to his place of Romney in Raleigh.
It was the worst fink I have ever seen in my life. And she continued and compare it between Russia and immigrants and Mizrachi
Juice and told in my opinions a lot of similarities between Russians in Misrata,
Jews. They are very similar. And because of that, they are married through Mazeroski man.
When hot-Tempered they come from families who a controlling father and woman has a very clear place.
And there is a very similar reference in terms of beauty and extreme grooming.
We have the same carpets. Very important. This place of encounter interests me in my walk.
It was excessive extremism, woman's beauty, Russian freckled, the dominant lessors, the men in the family.
When culture smeet and when you live in the same environment, then it has a strong impact on you.
I think maybe if he did not live in Rumley, then it would not using much as much makeup as the age of 14.
So there is a parallel lines between Russian and Mizrachi Jews in my forties.
Talk about the similarities between two cultures.
This is the end of Zinta and I think in my opinion that this is very interesting example of an attempt
to argue that the think ization of Russian immigrants is authentic because from the beginning,
these two groups are very similar. And this is you are going to hear him.
And another was still on, it was only a very short fragment, one minute from and famines are serious.
Well, as a film maker unclearly asked him what the future holds in your his ideas,
participation and risk is a translation of the fragment to English because she's speaking to him when he hears the names of Zorah Ghofran Schmitter,
very popular Mizrahi's singers. My heart sinks and leaps out of my chest.
I can't count on Gradoli. At first they used to listen to Russian music.
It is not like I ever heard about at Crunched in a corner.
Is it a single European origin? During my life in Israel, all 20 years of food aid saw nothing.
That generation get the next food. Arabs and Mazatlán Jews and Nabiac of Kenya.
Please show is a fragment from the field.
When the. But let me show it now.
Shots from Sandy for a month and thought that she got sick.
I mean, it's not like a show, but it's a smart threshold's the place that I used to me on the show.
I keep didn't south a little thing.
That was chin up bounce. I think it's hard to tell.
Yeah. Chinelo, let. Oh, OK.
Cool. But I mean, if I get close, see he's getting better.
A minute I will share my show representation again.
OK? Now I will conclude that a look on the article adds empirical evidence to the arguments that social,
ethnic, cultural and special changes are closely related and fortify each other.
It shows how is it US very federal urban space transform intergroup relations in ethnic hierarchies.
This civilisation, amongst some members of the generation one and a half of Russian speaking immigrants in HESO reflects their comingle reach.
Next to Eastern Jouissance, specific context of Israel is very few.
Some members of the younger generation of some members of the young generation wants to reduce a region and a belonging to Ashkenazi.
European Jewry willingly adopted Mizrachi music,
closing style food in slang and the cultural tropes they created reflect a
unique fusion between their Russian speaking parents and their Mizrachi peers.
First, this inhabits most of them Emet middle class Ashkenazi users.
All that after living in the periphery for higher education and careers in central Israel.
As the other hand, ethnic relations matron's forms a minimal space in place.
Russian artist from generation one and a half infused new meanings into the
peripheral places where they spent their youth changing them from conflicts to
collaborative sold space in popular culture plays the key role in this mutual
funds for me to the relationship between ethnicity and police in migration.
Popular culture can become a means of communication and dialogue between different groups.
Sharings a city or neighbourhood. In.
This leads to a search and this is very, very important.
This is which explores the phenomena of sterilisation in our society from the old man's special frame on reference in the previous study.
The. But even study of previous studies analysed it from organisational perspective.
The Israeli army, the soldiers in Guilani, in units supposed to behave in Mizrachi way.
There's an article about Eastern behaviour stylisation in the Gilenya unit and in my case argues that immigrants from former Soviet Union
could belong to one whole generation and grew up in miserable environments as the central group who experienced its transition process.
If said would ask Who are Whitmore's Rahim in Israel society?
My argument is, is that most of them are Russian immigrants who grew up in this instance,
the environment in Israel periphery and is the last question is what I as a Russian, unsorted and components.
Will this new culture and parental exertions in new cultural productions by Russian speaking artists and
the Russian Slavitt components are still typical for criminal elements such as Russian food slaves?
Vought Cohering Baulch Russian folk music Visible Alikhan component, traditional Russian dress and dancing beers.
Similary, the elements of Islam Israeli culture deployed by Russian entrepreneurs also belong to the folklore repertoire of belly dancing,
colourful gladius hookah smoking. There will come music and Mizrachi foods such as Oracle Flat Pancakes in cold spices.
This ethnic intrapreneurs manipulate folk stereotypes is in your field of entertainment.
By some humorous way. This combination both can France are intelligent and accepted with varying degrees of intensity.
In addition, new Russian Misrati material objects come into being such as Knisley dolls mounted on top of a
hookah and the new Russian Mizrachi has klunk also emerged as exemplified by new war such as Kapara,
which could be Russian. The Tarango, which is a combination of Zackham, some kapara in addition with Russian pronouncing.
And the last thing that I didn't realisation amongst Russian immigrants who
grew up in Israel periphery is manifest in their adoption of Mizrachi music,
which is a legitimate form of today.
Israeli listeners in some way to be easier for them is to be Mizrachi and to listen to me is not music, immigrant, ethnic, intrapreneurs.
So looking for visibility and belonging in used this dominant form of Israeli popular culture, new creative race.
Zarafshan Mizrachi popular culture, which I presented today, in my opinion, is a symbolic expression of much broader social phenomena.
I think television is terrorisation imag Russian speaking immigrants in Israel periphery.
It is very common is a framer's intercultural marriages between Russian speaking immigrants and the natives.
It is a popular culture. It is only symbolic expression of this process.
Thank you very much. Thank you, Ana, for this very, very interesting presentation.
We're open out to questions and answers. Just to remind everyone, please use the question and answer tab on what it's on.
The right of mice is great. At least I, I, I feel that we have a few questions already,
but please do submit them and I'll just read them and then I know you'll have a chance to read and go by one by one.
So first. Yes. I just want to close the presentation.
It's okay. Yes. You can ask. Yes. So the question is for my Podmore out there.
So for Morlan instead, Antony's college was asking.
Is there any general Israeli date on Bazoft Ashkenazi intermarriage over time?
And if and if so, how does this Mswati Russian intermarriage compares with the general data regarding Ashkenazim marriages?
Yes, actually, there is no published statistics on the share of marriages between Rashin and Sabra Israelis.
Their estimate is that it's over one third and that is girls all the time, especially amongst younger immigrants.
Like in my case, one is one and one and a half a generation.
But I'm not sure.
Did the made it didn't make a statistical researcher, an anthropologist, but it's around one FERENCZ.
And I think this is not so exotic. Really, because, you know, when they collected materials, they just asked their friends,
my co-workers in the college caucus of my husband in the high tech company, so it's it's it's common and it's it's a feeling think it will be.
It just seemed more common. But it said it's very it's a good question.
It's very important to know the statistical data. Not the answer.
Answer this question. We might also add the poll.
Generally speaking, there is an issue with Israeli statistical data regarding ethnicity that the Israeli
Central Bureau of Statistics does not count ethnicity beyond the third generation.
So that the grandfather and the grandpas generation, they actually have it, but they don't publish it.
And there's been a lot of political contestation and intellectual competition around it.
It's very interesting in a sense. You said that after two generations we cease being ethnically marked.
Another question from Marcus was thanking you for a fascinating presentation.
Marcus is saying,
I was always under the impression that immigrants to Israel from the former Soviet Union were to the right wing of the political spectrum.
It is possible that this that this is bringing together of Mizrachi Russian and Arab cultures could
encourage a more conciliatory approach towards peace from Russian immigrants or alternatively,
a hardening of position. I would add to this question, to what degree did you see this Oriental ization of the self?
Translating into a real appreciation of the Palestinians.
Yes, I think that we have to make some distinction between a little group of ethnic entrepreneurs and artists which are analysed here,
that most of them are left wing and belong to left.
These are basic and also one and also social activism, one and a half generation Z, most of whom have left their political views.
But this is very different from WSA Mass, from most of the Russian speaking immigrants who grew up in Israel, period,
for whom they think that their connexion with the museum mazurka Jews also has a base of right political views.
So it's it's it's complicated because these artists, of course, in this art generally in this is the main message of this art,
is this a full of peace between Jews and Arabs and between Jews, Ashkenazi Jews and Israeli Jews?
And it's helping Jews and Russians. This is it. This is the main message of peace and this is it.
But this is a function of art and popular culture and art.
And this is different from zir in a popular opinion, political opinion in most of the Russian immigrants channel.
Right. Right. And he has great political views. Thank you.
So Marcus is also asking for. Is it possible to obtain a copy of the slated presentation?
I would suggest that anyone who wants this would email me and I'll put you in touch with unknown to counsel.
I also want to say that to have Article two, which was published last year in Ethnicities.
It is a journal. Baltimore is a hybrid cultural Russian Masaka culture.
In this article, which I presented today, I submit it to you to publication.
I just have to fix it and it holds it a do published some wonderful.
Thank you. A question from Nigel Mayor. Hi, Nigel. How many people are there in the Russian?
One point five generation. It's 2000.
Between 2000 and 3000 people.
It's 20 percent from 20 percent to 30 percent from all the mass of Russian immigrants in history.
So. Two hundred thousand. Yes. Yes. That's not a small laryssa.
We are Cobos asking, what's your. Thanking you for your great presentation.
Don't you think that this makes is more typical for mountain Jews and maharajah's rather than Ashkenazi Jews from the former Soviet Union?
And Brumm many years ago wrote that the mountain Jews can decide how to migrate as Russians or as Oriental or Israeli Jews?
Yes, yes. Think of the Jews. It's said it's right.
Oriental Jews from Congress. They have more.
For them, the connexion was Misrati. Culture is more is more clear, is more natural.
And indeed, in my research rissoles, that video from Organised Berlind here from Zerbe region, soulful here.
It was very natural. And also I interviewed Arvedlund from the system, Islay, the band.
This is a band. Jews and Arabs. So for them, of course, for them, this combination is more natural.
But also there is Russian immigrants from European origin, like seniors.
Sediq senior Mediterranean Russian girl. She's from Moscow.
That's right. Thank you. And I would take the privilege of asking.
Maybe the concluding question. We don't have any others on the Q&A tab, which is maybe a little bit wider.
You touched upon it slightly. The concluding remarks you made, in a sense,
noting that both the image of the Mazola and the image of the Russian or the post-Soviet are stereotypical.
In a sense, we get an equally offensive, stereotypical view of the whole world.
Russians are about vodka. Well, how about Arcand? Everybody's happy and let's get out.
And this must be Anissa's. I mean it.
Lycett You know, it it just me to ask what's underneath the patina of public culture, a majority of, you know, commercial style.
I mean, these people are living their life in the war.
They live their life in a highly contested political situation, whether they acknowledge it or not.
But most of them do. I mean, the artist's. So whereas meaning if it's all about.
And it's not about stereotypes. What's the meaning that constructed identity is derived from?
And why? Why do you think if it's study a typo, sorry, it's not that it's not have meaning.
This is a meaning. The meaning is I think it's Sandvik postmodern, you know, then there's like kaleidoscope.
You combine different visions, different images, different motives.
And it's how it works today. But they don't think that because this is some Extel type setup, because soul have no meaning.
This is a meaning. It's not so Ordos to combating, you know, for many Russian Russians,
if they will see it like it was a generation when my parents were rebels say this is terrible.
What's it? It's it's terrible. Terrible, Garik. It's not culture.
But, you know, what is the culture? The system is not a question.
And I think that's the message is very important in modern day.
There is also another aspect of a sterilisation.
When Russian immigrants study Arabic language, for example, or study is a history of Eastern Jews or, you know, in seriously study,
in cultural background and through tradition, Jewish tradition of Muzaffer Jews is also this is also a novel way of westernisation.
But I think maybe it's more serious. But I think that also this talk of westernisation, which I presented here today, it's also has a meaning.
It's it's important. Yes. Thank you, IRA, for this fascinating presentation and this really intriguing case study presentation.
Wish all the best and wish you all keep safe and see you soon.
