Isabelle Hesse
Dr Isabelle Hesse is senior lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Sydney, Australia. Her research is situated at the nexus of postcolonial, Jewish and Middle Eastern studies, and she has widely published in these areas and their intersections, including on the cultural and political connections between Europe and the Middle East. Her first book, The Politics of Jewishness in Contemporary World Literature: The Holocaust, Zionism, and Colonialism, was published by Bloomsbury in 2016. Her current book project examines how British and German literature, TV drama and film published and produced since the First Palestinian Intifada (1987–93) have imagined Israel and Palestine. She is also interested in postcolonial writing and theory, Israeli and Palestinian literature and film, and the cultural memory of the Holocaust and colonialism in Europe.
