个人简介

Biography: 

I received my BA in Film Studies from Emerson College in Boston in 1989 and my PhD in Hebrew literature from Brandeis University in 2000. Before coming to Cambridge, I taught various courses on modern Hebrew literature and Israeli film at Princeton University and later at George Washington University, where I also directed the Hebrew language program for ten years, 2002-2012. 

I am co-editor of the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies and associate editor of Prooftexts.

Teaching responsibilities: 

Dr Peleg teaches courses relating to his research, including courses in the history of modern Hebrew literature since the late eighteenth century to the present and the formation of Zionist culture in the first half of the twentieth century and its legacy beyond that time.

Supervision information: 

Dr Peleg welcomes inquiries from potential MPhil and PhD students with research interests relevant to his interests in modern Hebrew literary history, Israeli cinema and Israeli culture more generally, primarily the creation of a native Hebrew culture in Palestine/Eretz Israel at the beginning of the twentieth century and its legacy.

Research interests: 

My main interests are in modern Hebrew literary history, Israeli cinema and Israeli culture more generally, primarily the creation of a native Hebrew culture in Palestine/Eretz Israel at the beginning of the twentieth century and its legacy. I am interested in language history and development, literary traditions and modern culture writ large, especially in Israel and the Middle East. Most of my research and teaching is focused on these issues. I have written about Zionism and orientalism, about homoeroticism in modern Hebrew literature, about Hebrew literature and culture in the 1990s, the so-called postzionist age, and about various cultural constructs in Israeli cinema, among them gender formation, ethnic identities (Ashkenazi/Mizrahi) and religious identities.
