Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities. III © Forfatter Ida Kathinka Skolseg År 2016 Tittel Arkitektur i konflikt: Hva er arkitekturens rolle i kampen om Jerusalem Forfatter Ida Kathinka Skolseg http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Sammendrag Israel forsøker å presentere Jerusalem som en forent by, hvis udelelige egenskap er basert på Jerusalems rolle som jødenes religiøse, historiske og politiske hovedstad. Den politiske dimensjonen av "å bygge landet Israel" er en fundamental, men samtidig en skjult komponent av enhver bygning som blir konstruert. Den politiske virkeligheten dette skaper er ofte mer konkluderende og dominerende enn hva den stilmessige, estetiske og sensuelle effekten av hva en bygning kan kommunisere. "Ingen er fullstendig fri fra striden om rom", skriver Edward Said, "og det handler ikke bare om soldater og våpen, men også ideer, former, bilder og forestillinger." 27. juni, to uker etter at Seksdagerskrigen endte i 1967, ble 64 kvadratkilometer land og ca.

    Further information on UA: 181/15 Index: MDE 15/2311/2015 Israel/OPT Date: 21 August 2015 URGENT ACTION HUNGER STRIKER OUT OF COMA, STILL IN DANGER Mohammed Allan ended his hunger-strike on 20 August after the Israeli High Court ruled that his administrative detention order be suspended because of his medical condition. Two days earlier, he had come out of a four-day coma. An MRI scan on 19 August revealed extensive brain damage. His life remains in grave danger. Palestinian lawyer Mohammed Allan, on hunger strike since 16 June, fell into a coma on 14 August and is now in intensive care in Israel’s Barzilai Medical Center. He is no longer under guard, or shackled, and his family can visit him. The High Court decision was based on his medical condition alone – a 19 August MRI scan revealed extensive brain damage, caused by vitamin deficiency - and took no account of the legality of his detention. The court ruled that, if there is no improvement to the neurological damage, the detention order will be revoked entirely. If his health improves it can be re-imposed. Before the ruling, the Israeli military had tried to make him abandon his hunger strike, offering him release if he agreed to a period of exile and at another time a release date in November. He maintained that he should be released in September. On 19 August, an Israeli state representative said that if his condition was "irreversible and permanent”, thus rendering him unable “to resume his activities”, the state would lift the detention order immediately.

    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,
