Abstract
Postcards are emblematic objects of modernity and although they were invented in Europe in 1869 they spread rapidly across the globe . The "rediscovery" of the Holy Land in the West parallels the emergence of the postcard and various publishers produced full sets of postcards that were distributed also among people who never visited the sacred places. Based on research carried out in the David Pearlman Holy Land postcard collection of ca. 200,000 cards (donated in 2019 to the Folklore Research Center at the Hebrew University), I deliberately focus my talk on postcards from the 1960s and beyond when postcards lost their urgency and became mundane objects with writing conventions and postal practices that were already taken for granted. Narrating the Holy Land in this modern short folk-genre negotiates Biblical myths, political turmoils and everyday life, often in surprising and peculiar manners

Short bio note
Dr. Dani Schrire is a lecturer at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, affiliated with two graduate programs: the Program for Folklore and Folk-Culture Studies (head) and the Program in Cultural Studies.
