    Welcome to Palestine The Peculiar Case of the Palestinians and their International Visitors Master’s thesis Julius Weise 10451390 Cultural & Social Anthropology GSS Supervisor: Anne de Jong Annelies Moors & Dina Zbeidy Word count: 29760 Amsterdam 26-06-2017 1 Formulae on Plagiarism I have read and understood the University of Amsterdam plagiarism policy I declare that this assignment is entirely my own work, all sources have been properly acknowledged, and that I have not previously submitted this work, or any version of it, for assessment in any other paper. 2 Abstract This research engages with political tourism in the Occupied Territories of Palestine. Palestinians have little chances in advocating their political agenda due to their limited freedom of movement and the one sided media coverage on the region. By educating tourists Palestinians try to make their story heard. Therefore, in the Oslo Peace Process with Israel, tourism was meant to play a leading role – as an instrument for peace – and regional tourism was expected to valorize regional exchange and sharing. However, Israel tries to stop any tourism development in Palestine for economic and political reasons. This research focuses of the everyday reality of the still ongoing tourism industry on the West Bank of Palestine. For this thesis I conducted a fieldwork, research period of three months on the West Bank. Through participant observations and qualitative interviews I have tried to grasp this social reality looking at both the tourists and the Palestinian hosts. In this paper I argue that tourism in Palestine is to be understood as a form of everyday resistance.

Maps and Meaning: Reading the Map of the Holy Land Abstract The research methods of hermeneutics and semiotics were used to analyze maps of the Holy Land. The main conclusion of this study is how those methods could help us to read and understand maps. Other issues of concern are which religious elements actually appear and their form of representation in the range of maps. Narratives identified on the ariousv maps were the holy Christian narrative- which proved the most dominant, the Jewish narrative and the Muslim narrative that was rarely found in the maps, even in those with a Palestinian narrative. A ubiquitous finding was disregarded for political issues, although the maps' messages allow the map-user to draw conclusions about ideology, images, and conflicts.

  • Jerusalem: Inspired and Confused in the Holy Land
    Forthelatestbreakingnews,gotomlive.com SECTION Religion B THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2014 / THE GRAND RAPIDS PRESS VATICAN CITY Pope strikes ‘monsignor’ title for most priests Pope Francis has done away with the honorific title “monsignor” for all but a few priests, further evidence of his desire for priests to be simple, humble servants. The Vatican’s Secretary of State sent a letter to its embassies asking them to inform bishops’ conferences of the change. From now on, the Vatican said only diocesan priests who are “chaplains of the Holy Father” can use the honorific, and then only after they turn 65. Bishops, vicars and arch- bishops still get to be called “monsignor,” and Holy See officials will have the title if their office warrants it.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Notes on the Islamic Toponymy of the Holy Land and Holy City
    CHAPTER 3 Notes on the Islamic Toponymy of the Holy Land and Holy City Jacob Lassner What is generally known of Muslim sacred geography has been distilled into a very broad set of understandings. Most non-Muslims vaguely familiar with the outlines of Islamic civilization are aware of the reverence commanded by the holy cities situated in the Hijaz region of Arabia. Many are also aware, that like Mecca and Medina, the so-called haramayn of the Hijaz, the biblical Holy Land and its holiest city Jerusalem have a special place in the sacred geography of Islam. But these overarching views do not do justice to explaining Islam’s early engagement with the sacred space of Jews and Christians. I refer to the complex process by which Arab Muslims initially redefined the biblical land- scape, be it by reshaping tales of biblical persons and events or by Muslims appropriating and redefining Jerusalem and the pre-Islamic Holy Land.1 What follows is a series of philological notes that draw attention to the toponyms by which the Muslim faithful came to define Jerusalem and beyond the city, the territory known to Jews as Erez Israel, and Christians as Terra Sancta. This modest study is drawn from an extended work in the making that bears the title “The Origins of Islamic Jerusalem: Forging Sacred Space in a City Holy to 1 The stories of biblical personae are amplified in that genre of Arabic literature known as Qisas al-anbiya’ or “Tales of the Prophets.” Accounts specifically related to the Holy Land and Jerusalem are collected in a body of literature known as Fada’il, that is, works of praise (for Jerusalem and its surroundings).

  • The Land of Israel in Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations Yehezkel Landau Hartford Seminary Revised Version of a Paper Presented at Iona College, New Rochelle, NY, Oct
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 3 (2008): CP1-12 CONFERENCE PROCEEDING The Land of Israel in Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations Yehezkel Landau Hartford Seminary Revised version of a paper presented at Iona College, New Rochelle, NY, Oct. 21, 2007 at the Annual Meeting of the Council of Centers on Christian-Jewish Relations Before conveying my views on Israel – people, land, and state – I want to share a bit of my per- sonal journey, so that the reader will appreciate the perspective that I bring to the subject. I was born in Santiago de Chile in 1949, the child of Austrian Jewish refugees who managed to flee Vienna in time in March, 1938. Some of my cousins were not so fortunate and perished in the Shoah . After my family moved to New York, I attended public schools, then went to college and divinity school at Harvard, pursuing studies in psychology, theology, and education. Krister Stendahl, then the dean of Harvard Divinity School, became my mentor in New Testament stud- ies, my “Christian rebbe .” 1 Two years after completing my MTS program, and then working in the administration of Bard College in upstate New York, I flew to Israel for the first time on April 5, 1978. I was the last member of my immediate family to visit Israel, and the only one who stayed. I lived and worked in Jerusalem for twenty-four years, became an Israeli citizen, and fathered a son who now serves in the Israeli Defense Forces. All of these choices were motivated by my re- ligious convictions.
