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.
