This dissertation draws the contours of the sociological discourse in Israel. It offers an intellectual history and sociology of knowledge of the sociological discourse in Israel. It examines the social origins, theoretical underpinnings and ideological bearings of different sociological perspectives, focusing upon the way they are embedded in the general theoretical framework of the discipline, on the one hand, and in the particular Israeli social and political context, on the other. This is examined along two intersecting dimensions--an intellectual/social dimension and an external/internal dimension. The dissertation vindicates the view that sociology is a relatively autonomous yet socially embedded practice, which both reflects ideologically and articulates theoretically social interests and identities and thus takes part in the discourse about the identity of society. It contends that the agenda of academic sociology has been transformed with the major political transformations of Israel: the long-term hegemony of the Labor Movement up to the 1967 war; the crisis of the labor regime following the 1973 war; and the ascendance of the right-wing to governmental power in 1977. It identifies three quasi-Kuhnian stages in Israeli sociology, which correspond to the political transformations: the domination of a functionalist school from the 1950s to the 1970s; a crisis in the mid-1970s; and the proliferation of alternative and competing perspectives since the late 1970s. The dissertation contends that the current scene of a much more varied, and critical, spectrum of perspectives expresses claims of new social groups and movements in a complex and dynamic social environment. The major perspectives discussed are the following: functionalism (nation-building), revised and revisited functionalism, pluralism, elitism, neo-Marxism, feminism, and colonization. The dissertation concludes with a plea for a new agenda which would grow out of the critical concerns of the existing sociological perspectives. This agenda should address the issue of membership in a modern democratic society. It should remove sociology away from complacency towards cultural homogeneity based on national exclusion, inequality based on class domination and non-democratic public life based on oligarchic tendencies. It should move sociology closer to a commitment to cultural heterogeneity, equitable control of resources, and democratic sharing of power. The commitment to genuine democracy would require a radical shift in the perception and institutionalization of Israeli identity, and it is the task of critical sociology to expose current impediments to, and to project the concept of, this potential--though as yet very precarious--historical transformation.
