Genre and identity in the work of David Grossman.
No full textDavid Grossman is a central figure in Israeli literature. Widely translated, his work has achieved international acclaim for its bold and innovative engagement in the events and mood of the day. In this study, the first monograph on his work in English, I focus on his process of constructing identity through storytelling. Key themes of identity---adolescence and parent-child relationships, sexuality and the body-soul dichotomy---are interwoven into diverse literary genres. My method is to examine the paradigms and significance of Grossman's literary genres, placing them in the context of Israeli and Western literature. I analyse his technique of manipulating traditional structural features of these genres to reveal the ambiguities and changing nature of identity. I show how he acknowledges his literary forefathers by his use of intertext to develop identity. I contend that Grossman's focus on the adolescent protagonist pinpoints a young person's confrontation with his inherited identity. I discuss The Book of Intimate Grammar as zntx-Bildungsroman, illustrating the instability experienced en route to a cogent sense of self and an accommodation with the adult world. Grossman breaks new ground in his seminal work of Holocaust fiction, See under: Love. Moving beyond the sphere of witness accounts and their consequent fiction, he uses a fragmented plot and complex narratives, revealing the impossibility of viewing the Holocaust as a single synchronic story, exposing the damaged identities that remain. In Be My Knife, his more recent epistolary novel, I find a shift in his construction of identity. Rhythms of internal and external languages combine in this exploration of sexuality and parenthood. I suggest that his narrative techniques of multiple voices and indeterminate endings enhance reader involvement. They are a call to share Grossman's enduring commitment to a "wide-hearted humanism". This credo involves creating an ethical identity of self-examination, facilitating the recognition of difference in self and others, as evidenced in his socio-political novel and essays. I highlight Grossman's artistry: his sensitivity to registers of language, expressing sociological aspects of Israeli life in the past decades. Ultimately, for Grossman, both the world and the "I" are but a narrative

A Quantile Based Test of Protection for Sale Model
No full textThis paper proposes a new test of the Protection for Sale (PFS) model by Grossman and Helpman (1994). Unlike existing methods in the literature, our approach does not require any data on political organizations. We formally show that the PFS model provides the following prediction: In the quantile regression of the protection measure on the inverse import penetration ratio divided by the import demand elasticity, its coefficient should be positive at the quantile close to one. We examine this prediction using the data from Gawande and Bandyopadhyay (2000). The results do not provide any evidence favoring the PFS model.Quantile Regression, Protection for Sale, Political Economy
Siete semanas en bote en el territorio del alto río Coco en Nicaragua: Viaje de exploración misionera de los Hermanos Grossman y Garth de septiembre a noviembre de 1905
No full textThis article correspond to the chronicle of a trip, both ways, through the high Coco River and the rivers Waspuk, Pis Pis and Bocay carried out by the missionary brothers Grossman and Garth by the end of 1905. The annotations of the author reveal the existence of important communities in places that they visited during their journey, places like Wasla, Saupuka, Kislaya, Leymus and some others. He dwells on the rivers’ floods and the visit that they made to the miskito King Andrew. He was witness to ancestral traditions, so that he can describe healing rituals among the Indians, nourishments that they consumed and other ancient customs, both among the miskito as well as the sumu. Albeit the voyage was over water most of the time, they also participated on cavalcades trough the rain forest, where they could observe rubber, sugar cane, cacao and banana plantations.
