Przemoc zwielokrotniona. Wokół izraelskiego serialu pt. „Fauda”

Abstract

One of the most discussed TV series of recent years is Fauda (directed by A. Issaharoff and L. Raz). In the article, I discuss the reception of the film in the Israeli and Western media, as well as the ways of representing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the series in the context of the so-called war on terrorism and forms of violence. In my work, I am particularly interested in the following questions: in what form did the idea of conflict return to the screens and to the public debate? How has the Palestinian issue been marginalized in the Israeli public consciousness? Under what conditions does the violence intensify? Taking into account the forms of violence presented in the series, I am inclined to the thesis that the creators of “Fauda” are trying, sometimes with greater, sometimes less success, to look critically at the reality dictated by the laws of war.
