This essay is an approach of Amos Oz’s novel The Black Box It observes the two opposed characters' confrontation; the former-husband and the current. The former is a well-born elite engaged in modernity. The new one is an excluded, an outsider of certainty and national institutional ideas. He is a disengaged who wants to be
recognized. This work mirrors the Oz character’s decentralization of the subject reaction against the institutionalized system. At the same time, in the years 1970th, sociologists and historians, spokes fun about the new trends of post-modernity as more than a mere utopia. In Israel, the same Black Box mirrored conflict that nowadays we know due in the origins of the globalization impact over the national ideologies; it was called "Post-Zionist Utopia."
