Religious and Social Meanings of the Holy Land Ways of Knowing 2312 Religious and Social Meanings of the Holy Land Ways of Knowing 2312 Chancey and Lander JTerm 2017 [email protected] and [email protected] Jan. 6-18, 2017 Course Description The current state of Israel comprises regions that the three Abrahamic religions have regarded as holy for centuries. Although the concept of a “Holy Land” permeates ancient Jewish writings, it was early Christian pilgrims who first employed the biblical term “Holy Land” to describe the territory of the Bible. In the seventh century, Islam also forged a connection to this area, more specifically Jerusalem, regarding it as the site of the prophet Muhammed’s night-time journey (‘Isra) to heaven. Through archaeological and site fieldtrips, readings, and lectures by experts in the field, students will investigate the diverse meanings of the Holy Land to the adherents of the various traditions who have regarded the region as religiously significant for more than three millennia. Students will learn how the two disciplines of archaeology and religious studies combine to inform a deeper understanding of the Holy Land than a single disciplinary study. Students will also explore the complexity of daily life in the modern state of Israel. Student Learning Outcomes Ways of Knowing 1. Students will demonstrate knowledge of more than one disciplinary practice. 2. Students will explain how bringing more than one practice to an examination of the course topic contributes to knowing about that topic. Philosophical/Religious/Ethical Inquiry, level I 1. Students will be able to describe and explain some of the general features and principal theoretical methods of one of the fields of philosophy, religious studies, or ethics. Global Engagement 1. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the material culture, underlying values, beliefs, or practices that are central to the culture(s) being visited or studied. Class Goals Students will be able to: 1. describe the development of the “Holy Land” concept; 2. explain the relationship of adherents from each Abrahamic religion to Jerusalem in particular and to Israel/Palestine more broadly; 3. give examples of how religious traditions connect to the geography of the Holy Land; 4. give examples of archaeological sites that memorialize ties to religious events and/or narratives; 5. explain how these archaeological sites continue to animate religio-national identifications; 6. identify the types of socio-political functions these sites play in today’s world; and 7. describe, in nuanced and complex terms, the socio-political dynamics of the current state of Israel. Course Requirements and Grade Calculation 1. Attendance at and preparation for the three meetings prior to the trip are mandatory. Failure to attend and prepare for these meetings is automatic grounds for removal from the course. (20%) 2. Attendance at daily events. Illness is the only reason for absence during the trip. (20%) 3. Daily journal. Students will keep a daily journal to record their notes, impressions, and reactions to each day’s activities. Journal entries should incorporate assigned readings, which are required, and demonstrate the ability to apply concepts from readings to concrete examples studied each day. Due 1/18 (30%) 4. Final project to be determined in consultation with professors. Due 2/25 (20%) The project should address the following and be illustrated with concrete examples: • How do the sites explored contribute to contemporary Jewish, Christian, and Muslim understandings of the Holy Land? What role does material culture play in each group’s self-understanding? • How do these understandings reflect the diverse values, beliefs, and practices of Holy Land residents? Give an example of how multiple and competing cultural and political claims are evident in these groups’ understandings of the Holy Land. • Explain how the disciplines of religious studies and archaeology contribute to a contemporary understanding of the Holy Land’s various meanings. Why is a multidisciplinary approach more effective than a single disciplinary one? Course Expectations: Personal Conduct: 1. When you travel abroad, you represent SMU. As an ambassador for the University, your behavior reflects the quality of SMU. With this in mind, all University rules apply when traveling abroad and will be strongly enforced. Failure to obey these rules is grounds for immediate dismissal from the course. The instructors reserve the right to send home any student failing to meet these behavioral standards at the student’s own expense. Such dismissal forfeits any course reimbursement regardless of whether the student has completed enough of the course to earn credit. 2. If you carry a cell phone when you travel, you may only use it only during private time (except in case of emergency). If you use it for course-related research during class time, you are expected to abide by the honor code and not to play video games, check email, engage in electronic chats, etc. Out of respect for your professors and classmates, please disable all sounds on your phone when using it in class. 3. Listen actively to lectures and classmates. Active Listening. Listening to another person speak is not a passive enterprise. To truly understand another person requires paying attention to his or her words, taking notes on what the other person says, making associations with what you already know, asking questions when you don’t understand. This is true when you listen to your classmates in small or large group discussions or to lectures. Rather than interrupting a lecturer mid-sentence as soon as a question pops into your head, jot down your question as you take notes and ask it at a pause in the lecture or when the lecturer invites questions. Questions that seek to clarify points you did not understand, either in the reading or the lecture, are an excellent use of class time. More often than not, if you didn’t understand something, some of your classmates didn’t as well. There is no such thing as a stupid question if it is genuinely asked from a position of wanting to know more or filling in a knowledge gap. Factual questions that can be answered with a quick Google search might be better answered using your smartphone than by taking up class time. 4. Show respect for all points of view. Respect. The discipline of religious studies is premised on the supposition that all religions are worthy of the same degree of consideration and respect. The objective of religious studies is to understand, not judge. This means that when the professors or a classmate expresses a point of view different from your own, you listen to that perspective with an open mind and generosity of spirit rather than a judgmental, dismissive, or disparaging attitude. At the same time you are expected and encouraged to express alternative points of view in a civil manner and to engage in calm and reasoned debate. The goal is to disagree without being disagreeable. In the course of discussion you may encounter perspectives that directly contradict and challenge deeply-held convictions or perhaps central tenets of your own belief-system. This course requires that you learn how scholars in the academy and various religious traditions study the Holy Land; it does not expect or require that you accept these approaches for yourself.

  • Shadows Over the Land Without Shade: Iconizing the Israeli Kibbutz in the 1950S, Acting-Out Post Palestinian-Nakba Cultural Trauma
    Volume One, Number One Shadows over the Land Without Shade: Iconizing the Israeli Kibbutz in the 1950s, acting-out post Palestinian-Nakba Cultural Trauma Lior Libman Abstract: The kibbutz – one of Zionism's most vital forces of nation-building and Socialist enterprise – faced a severe crisis with the foundation of the State of Israel as State sovereignty brought about major structural, political and social changes. However, the roots of this crisis, which I will describe as a cultural trauma, are more complex. They go back to the pioneers' understanding of their historical action, which emanated arguably from secularized and nationalized Hasidic theology, and viewed itself in terms of the meta-historical Zionist-Socialist narrative. This perception was no longer conceivable during the 1948 war and thereafter. The participation in a war that involved expulsion and killing of civilians, the construction of new kibbutzim inside emptied Palestinian villages and confiscation by old and new kibbutzim of Palestinian fields, all caused a fatal rift in the mind of those who saw themselves as fulfilling a universal humanistic Socialist model; their response was total shock. This can be seen in images of and from the kibbutz in this period: in front of a dynamic and troublesome reality, the Realism of kibbutz-literature kept creating pastoral-utopian, heroic-pioneering images. The novel Land Without Shade (1950) is one such example. Written by the couple Yonat and Alexander Sened, it tells the story of the establishment of Kibbutz Revivim in the Negev desert in the 1940s. By a symptomatic reading of the book’s representation of the kibbutz, especially in relation to its native Bedouin neighbors and the course of the war, I argue that the iconization of the kibbutz in the 1950s is in fact an acting-out of the cultural trauma of the kibbutz, the victimizer, who became a victim of the crash of its own self-defined identity.

  • Haya Graetz-Ran
    Haya Graetz-Ran Many of her works follows the feminine feminist voice which is absent from the narrative of the Zionist enterprise, as being studied in the school system and became fixated in the Israeli masculine art scene. Graetz-Ran operates as a painter who is both a researcher and an artist and uncovers testimonies such as personal diaries, objects from the past and photographs. Present reality of violence permeates through the seemingly innocent painting of Graetz-Ran and reflects on dimensions of breadth and depth of the public domain: nation, community and also the realm of the individual. The subjects of the creation of Graetz-Ran deals with the connection and the continuity of local history, mainly of Jezreel Valley. By unearthing historical photographs, which she liberates from old family albums and converting the image from photography to painting, she revives a past reality and stimulates a discourse about forgotten themes. Hence, the graceful paintings of Graetz-Ran raises difficult questions about seduction, memory and nostalgia and arouses the sleepy arteries of painting with new liveliness of layers of time gone by. This painting is feminist, ethical and political. Her works are included in museum collections as well as in private collections. She lives in Kiryat-Tiv’on. The studio is in kibbutz Sha'ar Ha'Amakim. Selected Solo Exhibitions 2018 Unread. Ramot Menashe Art Gallery , Ramot Menashe. Curated by Miri Verner. 2014 About Pioneers and Bears in Afula.
