Magic, Medicine, and Materiality: Tawfiq Canaan and Assemblages of the Sacred in Palestine
Sacred Space/Contested Place: Intergenerational Memory and the Shifting Meanings of the Shrine/Tomb of Joseph
examines the case of Maqam Yusuf (the Shrine of Joseph, commonly referred to as Joseph's Tomb in English), a contested religious site near the northern West Bank city of Nablus.Often called a "microcosm" of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the shrine has long been viewed as a site of religious intolerance, marked by regular violent confrontations between Palestinian youths and Israeli soldiers.Such a view obscures deeply rooted traditions of mul…
Sacred Monuments and Stone Circles in Palestine: A Historical, Ethnographic and Mythological Inquiry
Sacred stone veneration is a global mythical phenomenon historically practiced by many groups, including ancient Semitic-speaking peoples. In their physical capacity, sacred stones themselves are not the object of worship or veneration. Their sanctity comes from the divine spirit believed to dwell within them. The common denominator among the mythological traditions of sacred stones veneration is the belief that they possess enormous spiritual po…
Being/longing: Visualizing belonging with Palestinian refugee children
Rejecting theorizations of refugee camps as humanitarian spaces of exception and bare life, recent research has emphasized how camps are sites of material struggle, and how refugees are agential political subjects. While valuable, this research bifurcates between the material dwellings of refugee camps on one hand and the political subjectivity of refugees on the other. In contrast, this paper examines how Palestinian refugees reproduce a sense o…
Intergenerational place-based digital storytelling: A more-than-visual research method
The use of visual research methods with young people—such as photo diaries and mental mapping—risks reproducing a focus on local-scale micro-politics at the expense of broader contextualization. We contend that combining visual and narrative methods through digital storytelling enables young people to represent their everyday lives within broader social and political processes. Working in post-conflict urban areas in Lebanon, we found that this m…
Cosmopolitan Geopolitics
Whether addressing violent ethno-nationalism, xenophobic bigotry, or religious intolerance, scholars and educators invoke cosmopolitan notions of a shared planet and common humanity as a means of rising above difference. Cosmopolitanism as an ethical and political orientation places an imperative on seeking out, welcoming, and learning from cultural others. As such, cosmopolitanism involves a process of reducing the social and physical proximity …
Why are "we" called "them: Storytelling and the contested terrain of post-conflict public formation
Efforts to repair wounded social relations and rebuild political institutions typically target young people, who are viewed with a mix of hope and anxiety as the future leaders of the country. Efforts undertaken by civil society organizations, and funded by international donors, emphasize dialogue and tolerance through civic engagement. Dialogue, tolerance, and engagement aim at inclusive forms of peaceful community building and public togetherne…
Rethinking the spaces of civil society
Political socialization of youth: A Palestinian case study
Narrating palimpsestic spaces
The term ‘palimpsest’ refers to medieval manuscripts that have been multiply erased and inscribed with the overlapping texts of successive scribes. More recently and amongst academics, the term has become a metaphor for describing the city, including both the physical urban form as well as memories and experiences of everyday urban life. The palimpsest offers a way of thinking not only about urban transformation, where new and repurposed structur…
Circulations and the Entanglements of Citizenship Formation
Citizenship is given form, meaning, and power through the transactions and circulations that constitute it. Our focus in this article is the ways in which circulations through networks and institutions that extend beyond nation-states are enacted and encouraged through pedagogies and practices that moor habits of citizenship in daily lives. Although there has been significant attention to those practices at national and local levels, there has be…
Political violence and mental health: Effects of neoliberalism and the role of international social work practice
Healing from political violence is not solely an individual project, but a communal process involving reclaiming collective action, trust, and efficacy. This article uses a case study from two Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank to examine how two trends central to neoliberalism, individualism, and the medicalization of inherently social and political problems, discount larger forces that affect risk and resilience, thereby undermining men…
Mapping civil society with social network analysis: Methodological possibilities and limitations
Concrete connections? Articulation, homology and the political geography of boundary walls
Scholarly and activist discourses alike have invoked a homology between walling practices along the US / M exico border and in occupied Palestine. Such discourses often rely on visual/rhetorical manoeuvres to assert equivalence between distinct sites, technologies and practices. Often, this equivalence then enables the collapsing of difference into what we describe as the ‘global security’ paradigm, one that represents a multiplicity of governmen…
