  • From the Margins to Prime Time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television
    L. Steir-Livny / A. Mendelson-Maoz, From the margins to prime time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television 78 From the Margins to Prime Time: Israeli Arabs on Israeli Television The case of Sayed Kashua's "Arab Labour" Liat Steir-Livny1 | Adia Mendelson-Maoz2 Abstract Over recent decades, with the growing debate over multiculturalism in Israel, the representation of minorities in mass media has received new attention. The current research discusses the place of Israeli Arabs on Israeli television through the case- study of Arab Labour (In Hebrew, Avoda Aravit), a satirical sitcom written by Sayed Kashua (Channel 2, Keshet, 2007, 2010, 2012), which focuses on the shattered identity of Arab Israelis Our research shows that Arab Labour has triggered off changes in the way Arab Israelis are represented on Israeli television, in terms of their visibility on television, the quality of that visibility, and their interaction with the majority group. We examine a corpus of episodes dealing with three central themes: the Israeli identity card; attitudes to Jewish holidays and Jewish history; and the memory of the 1948 War versus the Nakba. Keywords: Sayed Kashua, Israeli television, 1948 War, the Nakba, Israeli identity, Arab-Israeli identity, Sitcom. 1 Dr. Liat Steir-Livny, The Open University & Sapir Academic College [email protected] 2 Dr. Adia Mendelson-Maoz.

  • The Future of the Caucasus After the Second Chechen War
    CEPS Working Document No. 148 The Future of the Caucasus after the Second Chechen War Papers from a Brainstorming Conference held at CEPS 27-28 January 2000 Edited by Michael Emerson and Nathalie Tocci July 2000 A Short Introduction to the Chechen Problem Alexandru Liono1 Abstract The problems surrounding the Chechen conflict are indeed many and difficult to tackle. This paper aims at unveiling some of the mysteries covering the issue of so-called “Islamic fundamentalism” in Chechnya. A comparison of the native Sufi branch of Islam and the imported Wahhaby ideology is made, in order to discover the contradictions and the conflicts that the spreading of the latter inflicted in the Chechen society. Furthermore, the paper investigates the main challenges President Aslan Maskhadov was facing at the beginning of his mandate, and the way he managed to cope with them. The paper does not attempt to cover all the aspects of the Chechen problem; nevertheless, a quick enumeration of other factors influencing the developments in Chechnya in the past three years is made. 1 Research assistant Danish Institute of International Affairs (DUPI) 1 1. Introduction To address the issues of stability in North Caucasus in general and in Chechnya in particular is a difficult task. The factors that have contributed to the start of the first and of the second armed conflicts in Chechnya are indeed many. History, politics, economy, traditions, religion, all of them contributed to a certain extent to the launch of what began as an anti-terrorist operation and became a full scale armed conflict. The narrow framework of this presentation does not allow for an exhaustive analysis of the Russian- Chechen relations and of the permanent tensions that existed there during the known history of that part of North Caucasus.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Mahagama Sekera (1929–76) was a Sinhalese lyricist and poet from Sri Lanka. In 1966 Sekera gave a lecture in which he argued that a test of a good song was to take away the music and see whether the lyric could stand on its own as a piece of literature.1 Here I have translated the Sinhala-language song Sekera presented as one that aced the test.2 The subject of this composition, like the themes of many songs broadcast on Sri Lanka’s radio since the late 1930s, was related to Buddhism, the religion of the country’s majority. The Niranjana River Flowed slowly along the sandy plains The day the Buddha reached enlightenment. The Chief of the Three Worlds attained samadhi in meditation. He was liberated at that moment. In the cool shade of the snowy mountain ranges The flowers’ fragrant pollen Wafted through the sandalwood trees Mixed with the soft wind And floated on. When the leaves and sprouts Of the great Bodhi tree shook slightly The seven musical notes rang out. A beautiful song came alive Moving to the tāla. 1 2 Introduction The day the Venerable Sanghamitta Brought the branch of the Bodhi tree to Mahamevuna Park The leaves of the Bodhi tree danced As if there was such a thing as a “Mahabō Vannama.”3 The writer of this song is Chandrarathna Manawasinghe (1913–64).4 In the Sinhala language he is credited as the gīta racakayā (lyricist). Manawasinghe alludes in the text to two Buddhist legends and a Sinhalese style of dance.

    International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion Proceedings On Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory Palestine Written Statement (30 January 2004) And Oral Pleading (23 February 2004) Preface 1. In October of 2003, increasing concern about the construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, in departure from the Armistice Line of 1949 (the Green Line) and deep into Palestinian territory, brought the issue to the forefront of attention and debate at the United Nations. The Wall, as it has been built by the occupying Power, has been rapidly expanding as a regime composed of a complex physical structure as well as practical, administrative and other measures, involving, inter alia, the confiscation of land, the destruction of property and countless other violations of international law and the human rights of the civilian population. Israel’s continued and aggressive construction of the Wall prompted Palestine, the Arab Group, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to convey letters to the President of the United Nations Security Council in October of 2003, requesting an urgent meeting of the Council to consider the grave violations and breaches of international law being committed by Israel. 2. The Security Council convened to deliberate the matter on 14 October 2003. A draft resolution was presented to the Council, which would have simply reaffirmed, inter alia, the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force and would have decided that the “construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a wall in the Occupied Territories departing from the armistice line of 1949 is illegal under relevant provisions of international law and must be ceased and reversed”.

Field Ohio University, Athens, OH, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS A consensus is growing among scholars of modern Indian literature Modernist realism; that the thematic development of Hindi, Urdu and Bangla poetry Rabindranath Tagore; was consistent to a considerable extent. I use the term ‘consistent’ romanticism; Sinhala poetry; to refer to the transitions between 1900 and 1960 from didacticism Siri Gunasinghe; South Asian literary history; Sri Lanka; to romanticism to modernist realism. The purpose of this article is to superposition build upon this consensus by revealing that as far south as Sri Lanka, Sinhala-language poetry developed along the same trajectory. To bear out this argument, I explore the works of four Sri Lankan poets, analysing the didacticism of Ananda Rajakaruna, the romanticism of P.B.

  • Reconstructions of the Past in Belgium and Flanders
    Louis Vos 7. Reconstructions of the Past in Belgium and Flanders In the eyes of some observers, the forces of nationalism are causing such far- reaching social and political change in Belgium that they threaten the cohesion of the nation-state, and may perhaps lead to secession. Since Belgian independ- ence in 1831 there have been such radical shifts in national identity – in fact here we could speak rather of overlapping and/or competing identities – that the political authorities have responded by changing the political structures of the Belgian state along federalist lines. The federal government, the Dutch-speaking Flemish community in the north of Belgium and the French-speaking commu- nity – both in the southern Walloon region and in the metropolitan area of Brus- sels – all have their own governments and institutions.1 The various actors in this federal framework each have their own conceptions of how to take the state-building process further, underpinned by specific views on Belgian national identity and on the identities of the different regions and communities. In this chapter, the shifts in the national self-image that have taken place in Belgium during its history and the present configurations of national identities and sub-state nationalism will be described. Central to this chapter is the question whether historians have contributed to the legitimization of this evolving consciousness, and if so, how. It will be demonstrated that the way in which the practice of historiography reflects the process of nation- and state- building has undergone profound changes since the beginnings of a national his- toriography.
