Dominant stories of the imagined nation are told and retold often without question. But narratives which counter hegemonic storytelling also exist and continue to be passed on. Despite attempts at erasure and silencing in mainstream accounts and historiographies, contesting narratives which challenge oppressive ruling relations carry on. In this paper, I consider how narratives that expose and oppose dominant settler colonial myths are practices of creative resistance. Echoing Barbara Harlow (1987:7), I posit creative resistance not in opposition to, but alongside other forms of resistance such as armed struggle. Through this study, I theorize the concept of creative resistance against the logics and materiality of settler colonialism to examine three modes of narrative performance as political practice in the work of Students Against Israeli Apartheid (SAIA)-Carleton as part of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, Rafeef Ziadah’s spoken word, and performances by the Freedom Theatre project in Jenin, Palestine. In exploring the stories of these creative projects, this study conceives of narratives as sites of struggle that are significant in the telling of history and therefore crucial to resistance. | iii Acknowledgements I would like to dedicate this work to all people who struggle for liberation against violence, to the Palestinian families and friends I met while in Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan who welcomed me into their homes and hearts, and to the Algonquin peoples on whose land I currently live on Turtle Island. I would like to thank all the people who have supported me throughout the writing of this project. In particular, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Nahla Abdo for her encouragement and commitment to writing on Palestine, even when in the most difficult of circumstances, which has been a constant inspiration to me. I would also like to thank my committee members: Dr. Augustine Park and Dr. Janet Siltanen. Augustine has been a mentor for me throughout the completion of my Phd and has helped guide me through the most challenging parts of the writing process. Janet has provided me kind and thoughtful advice and offered me with opportunities to learn through her engaging teaching methods. Additionally, I would like to thank Dr. Peter Gose for his supervision during the earlier stages of my Phd. I would also like to thank my dear family and friends for their unwavering support and love. Especialmente, obrigado à minha mãe e ao meu pai: Ana Fonseca e José Santos (17 Sept. 2014).

  • Weekend Notes Review.Pdf
    Tales of a City by the Sea – Weekend notes review by Julia Wakefield. Following its sold out premiere Melbourne season in 2014, Tales of a City by the Sea opened at The Bakehouse Theatre this week. Jomana and Rami, played by Osamah Sami The author is Palestinian/Australian/Canadian writer Samah Sabawi. She describes her work as 'a poetic journey into the ordinary lives of people living in abnormal circumstances and their struggle to survive'. The play grew out of a collection of poetry that Sabawi wrote while she was in Gaza during the three week bombardment of 2008/2009, prompted by her own experiences and those of her friends and family. She says she is not trying to put across a political message. Although this is a story based on real life events that took place during Israel's assault on Gaza in 2008, its main purpose is to highlight the resilience and compassion that people display in such dire circumstances. In this current era of global conflict and confusion, there are many places featured in news bulletins that are enduring similar situations. Sabawi wants us to see 'the detail of daily lives of people they see for brief seconds on the news'. The play was originally directed by Lech Mackiewicz, and the current director is Wahibe Moussa. When it opened in Melbourne the plan was to have two simultaneous performances on the West Bank and in Gaza. The play was performed on the West Bank a week later; the script has been read in Gaza but as yet there has been no opportunity to perform the play there.

  • 'Al-Haq's Questions and Answers on Palestine's UN Initiatives and The
    15 September 2011 Ref. no. 286/2011 Al-Haq’s Questions and Answers: Palestine’s UN Initiatives and the Representation of the Palestinian People’s Rights As part of the ongoing public debate about Palestine‟s United Nations (UN) initiatives, a number of concerns have been raised with regards to potential changes in the mechanism of representation of the Palestinian people at the international level, both inside and outside of the UN system. In particular, it has been pointed out that the new profile of the State of Palestine could affect future rights claims, including the rights of return, to reparations and self-determination of all the Palestinian people – the Diaspora, refugees, Palestinians with Israeli citizenship and the Palestinians in the occupied territory, namely the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip. Although the details of the UN initiatives remain unknown, two main scenarios have been contemplated by public debate. Will the PLO be maintained in its present role and functions, while the State, which exists separately from the PLO, takes a seat at the UN? Or, will the PLO‟s role and functions be ceded to the State, which gains a seat at the UN, while the PLO ceases to function both inside the outside of the UN? To answer these questions, this legal brief, based on a strict application of international law and contemporary legal practice, examines the following four issues: (I) the UN initiatives and mechanisms for the representation of the Palestinian people‟s rights (II) the representation of the Palestinian people‟s rights by the State of Palestine; (III) the status and role of the PLO; and (IV) the possible effects of the UN initiatives on the representation of the rights of the Palestinian people.

  • Books in Space: Contested Territories and Memories
    CIRN Prato Community Informatics Conference 2013: Refereed Paper Books in Space: Contested Territories and Memories Larry Stillman Monash University Archives, “are not passive storehouses of old stuff, but active sites where social power is negotiated, contested, confirmed. By extension, memory is not something found or collected in archives, but something that is made, and continually re-made.” (Cook and Schwartz 2002: 172). While this paper principally looks at the fate of an individual book associated with war and booty, rather than an archive, Cook’s quote is apt. The issues that arise because of this particular book go to the core of one of the most contentions conflicts of the 20th century, one that is still unresolved: the conflict between the state of Israel and stateless Palestinians. Context The context for this paper requires some explanations. The paper is a work in progress because it is intended to develop its theoretical implications further in the coming year with other colleagues. Thus, its conclusions are not completed and various points tempered. Such a paper also requires something of a political explanation. First, this paper will be viewed by some who detest criticism of Israeli nostrums and hold vendettas against those who do critical academic research, analysing their viewpoint as a result of pathological self-hatred or other personal deficiencies. Thus, according to one critic of a controversial report, “one recognizes in their writings passions of anger and indignation, bitterness and repudiation that transcend those associated with mere politics. (Rosenfeld 2006). For many in the Zionist movement, its nostrums are sacred and discussion of, or recognition of Palestinian rights is not dealt with lightly.

  • Irreconcilable Differences: the Corporatization of Canadian Universities
    Irreconcilable Differences: The Corporatization of Canadian Universities by Jamie Brownlee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology (Specialization in Political Economy) Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Jamie Brownlee Abstract To date, there has yet to be a comprehensive national study of university corporatization in Canada. This study addresses this gap by reviewing the empirical basis, history, root causes and evolution of the transformation of higher education in Canada that has taken place over the past four decades. In this research, “corporatization” is used to refer to the process and resulting outcomes of the ascendance of business interests, values and models in the university system. Throughout the study, my two primary questions of interest are: (i) how has the corporatization of Canadian universities taken shape?; and (ii) what are the consequences of this restructuring both for higher education and society at large? The study begins with a brief historical review of the relationship between education and various sources of power, as well as some of the competing perspectives that have been used to explain university restructuring. I then review the main manifestations of the corporatization process, beginning with a detailed analysis of the casualization of academic labour. Drawing on a new and unique dataset collected through access to information requests, I provide a detailed account of the rise in the number of part-time and full-time contractually limited appointments in a number of Ontario institutions and discuss some of the impacts of this change.
