Representing a Nation in Sound Organic, Hybrid, and Synthetic Hebrews; 3. "Listening to Her Is Torture": The Menace of a Male Voice in a Woman's Body; 4.

Summary: With scrupulous attention to landmark poetic texts and to educational and critical discourse in early 20th-century Palestine, Miryam Segal traces the emergence of a new accent to replace the Ashkenazic or European Hebrew accent in which almost all modern Hebrew poetry had been composed until the 1920s. Segal takes into account the broad historical, ideological, and political context of this shift, including the construction of a national language, culture, and literary canon; the crucial role of schools.
