Visioning Israel-Palestine: Encounters at the Cultural Boundaries of Conflict: New Encounters: Arts, Cultures, Concepts

Editat de Dr Gil Pasternak
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 iul 2020
Visioning Israel-Palestine strives to cultivate recognition of the part that cultural products have played in the duplication of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While this conflict is one of the longest-lasting struggles over land and human rights in recent history, politicians and the media have largely reduced it to a series of debates over historical facts and expressions of violence. Its persistence, however, has also led to the manufacture of cultural products that challenge understandings of the conflict as a fight between two distinct peoples unified against each other. The wide range of international contributors to the volume analyse the content of such products alongside the work that they do within Israel-Palestine and in the Jewish and Palestinian diasporas. Considering Israeli and Palestinian films, art installations, street exhibitions, photographs and oral histories, Visioning Israel-Palestine expands the conflict's historical imagination and nurtures suitable cultural conditions to revitalize the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Caracteristici

While the current volume pays specific attention to the case of Israel-Palestine, the fact that similar types of challenges and problems recur in the context of the cultures and cultural politics of other conflicts suggests that its approach to cultural products may be employed to study other cultures of conflict, and the studies it features can be used for comparative scholarship

Recenzii

This rich volume introduces the inspiring neologism "visioning" to make the hyphen between Israel-Palestine a sign of bonding and correlation instead of its common perception as a sign of distance and separation. Chapter-by-chapter it brilliantly demonstrates Gil Pasternak's conviction that the arts matter to the future of Israelis and Palestinians - a conviction which I share.
This innovative volume draws on a wide range of aesthetic sources to show how cultural products can review and reframe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We can then see that visual art, broadly understood, not only engages past trauma but also opens up possibilities for a more peaceful future.
The title of this remarkable collection telegraphs its fundamental message. A hyphenated "state" (in the sense of an actual condition rather than a political entity) already exists in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. This state is a fragmented jigsaw puzzle of cooperation and conflict, inequality and co-presence that eludes all one-sided nationalist narratives, most notably the long-imagined "two state solution" which now belongs in the dustbin of history. Focusing on "cultural products" (images, texts, exhibitions, films, and stories), Visioning Israel-Palestine provides an account of contemporary experiences and encounters that promise to assemble this puzzle as a compellingly legible mosaic.
The refreshing premise of this volume is the recognition that there exists an interculturality within Israeli and Palestinian works of art based on the conflict they share. ... Visioning Israel-Palestine succeeds in making clear that art and culture will remain central in chipping away at the ossified dash that has bound 'Israel' and 'Palestine' in conflict for over half a century.
