Summary/Abstract: Budzik examines two texts representing divergent Israeli world-view trends, namely neo-Zionism and post-Zionism. These trends, which assess the assumptions of the Zionist movement, are critical of Zionism while the mechanisms of their actions are atthe same time based on that movement’s assumptions. The texts analysed here – Yair Chasdiel’s novel Tel Aviv (Tel Aviv, 2013) and the film trilogy …and Europe Will Be Stunned by Yael Bartana (2009–11) – reflect on the consequences of Zionism by drawing on the convention of alternative history and by highlighting the unique potential that Polishspaces have in this context. Budzik demonstrates that the use of this convention derivesnot only from the possibilities it offers but above all from the very nature of the Zionist narrative, which is rooted in the radical vision of the act of constructing an alternative reality.
