Cet article se propose de suivre ce mythe a travers deux poetes, Baudelaire et Brecht, lus par le critique juif allemand Walter Benjamin. Ce dernier fut en effet tres attentif a l’histoire du mythe de la ville dans la poesie moderne, puisqu’il fut un archeologue minutieux de la perception litteraire de la ville. Il a ainsi suivi l’evolution du mythe de la ville entre Baudelaire, le poete encore fascine par les phenomenes urbains comme la foule, le flâneur ou la passante inconnue, et Brecht, chez qui la perception de la ville s’est durcie au contact des rapports de classe qui se sont imposes dans la ville au xxe siecle.

The new state had to use all its energies to survive, facing at the same time the dangers of war—the War of Independence had ended in 1949—and the challenges of domestic policies, such as the integration of a very large wave of immigration from Arab countries. In such a situation, literature could only be a text accompanying the Zionist epos on its way. The writers and poets of the 1950s, like Natan Alterman, S. Yizhar, and Haim Gouri, are known for their novels and poems on the War of Independence and the sacrifices it required. We can thus describe this age as the heroic age of Hebrew literature: the hero of the young Israeli literature was usually a soldier or someone whose place within society was well defined. Those were the most ideological years of the state, a state whose model was the Soviet Un...
