The great historical upheavals of the 20th century—the Great War, the Soviet Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, World War II—were powerful forces that had a profound impact on these avantgarde fi gures and movements. Our major aim is to analyze the poetics and politics of these different movements or anti-movements from a comparative and transnational perspective. We will also examine the relation of cinema to other arts, and in particular, architecture, music, painting, photography, and poetry. We will also pay particular attention to the historiographic, stylistic, aesthetic and political ...

Helene Aylon, Bruria Finkel and Gilah Yelin Hirsch have been immersed in Jewish studies since childhood whereas Ruth Weisberg and Cheselyn Amato pursued their learning somewhat later in life, as Jewish teachings became more available to women. All of these artists are feminist creators and activists and have been participating in various aspects of the feminist movement and the women's art movement in the U.S. This article explores the differences in their expressions of Jewish identity, and, primarily, the ways in which the teachings of Torah and knowledge of Hebrew (including the study of Kabbalah) have produced innovative Jewish insights in the work of feminist artists who are steeped in the Jewish canon.

This, in itself, makes ecofeminism a different kind of political movement, for
