This article aims to reflect about the dynamics of grieving that exhists in contemporary Israeli society and at which historical moments/events it is possible to find its origin. This research also seeks to analyze the blatant maintenance of the pain and of the trauma as individual and collective experience in Israel, reinforced by the State through numerous dates and memorialistic rituals, which end up reaching national proportions. Consolidated as a true social construction, the bereavement thus becomes part of the hard everyday reality of the country and resonates in various artistic expressions of society, especially the literature. Finally, this work also is dedicated to an analytical and interpretative reading of two texts by Israeli contemporary author David Grossman – To the End of the Land (2011) and Falling Out of Time (2012) – which contains very significant echoes of the death and the grieving, typical themes in Israeli society.Downloads
