SOCIO-POLITICAL PROCESSES AND THE RISE OF POST-ZIONIST DISCOURSE IN ISRAEL

This article analyses the effects of post-zionism in Israeli
,society and state. By using the discoursive analysis in social theory,
the author argues that discourses such as post-zionism are the
results of socio-political and economic conditions (processes), but
their evolution is basically the result of the mental and value
activities of their proponent, rather than the socio-political
processes.
Thus, while discourses are mental and isolated phenomenon,
the socio-political processes are dynamic. Discourses as such are
not able to change the socio-political realities and their predictive
power tend to fail. This theoretical framework is applied to the
case of post-Zionist discourse and Israeli socio-political realities.
