  • Palestinian) Space: Sayed Kashua’S Chronotopic Approach in Let It Be Morning Sadia Agsous École Des Hautes Études En Sciences Sociales
    Hegemonic (Israeli) Time and Minority (Palestinian) Space: Sayed Kashua’s Chronotopic Approach in Let It Be Morning Sadia Agsous École des hautes études en sciences sociales abstract: Sayed Kashua, a Palestinian writer in Israel who has published novels exclusively in Hebrew, was celebrated as a successful writer and journalist in the Hebrew literary field. If the author’s usage of Hebrew and his novels were examined from an Israeli and a Jewish perspective and from the prospects of minority speech acts, these critics did, however, situate his literature within the immediate political context, that of the impossible situation of Palestinians in Israel. This article reads his second from a different perspective and considers Kashua’s ,(ויהי בוקר) novel, Let It Be Morning literary strategy that consists in transforming a futuristic and allegorist perspective into a chronotope set between hegemonic (Israeli) time and minority (Palestinian) space. This novel highlights, between text and context, different visions of the future: a dystopian situation reflecting both a disastrous outcome of the Zionist wing call- ing for the transfer of the Palestinians and an internal conflict between Palestinians (fitnah); the utopian vision of the writer, who used his writing in Hebrew to create a hybrid space of negotiation with the Hebrew reader and therefore suggesting literature as a way to prevent dystopia. This article emphasizes a futuristic storytelling from its content to its form used by Kashua as a literary strategy to express the impossibility of a Palestinian voice, his voice, in Hebrew fiction. dibur literary journal Issue 6, Fall 2018 Visions of the Future 20 dibur a palestinian hybrid text, between a dystopian future and the utopia of the writer At long last, the Zionist dream is coming true.

By tracing Bergson’s idea that comic effect is created through the creeping up of the mechanical on the living, the establishment of the “mechanical occupation” as a source of the comic will be elucidated.

Using ethnocratic and control theories it argues instead that the Palestinian Christians are inextricably associated with the wider Arab “problem” and remain, as a result, permanently outside the boundaries of the dominant Jewish national consensus. Moreover, this thesis argues that state attitudes towards the small Palestinian Christian communities are quite unique and distinguishable from its attitudes towards other segments of the Palestinian Arab minority, whether Muslim or Druze.

  • Appendix 1: POETRY
    ApPENDIX 1: POETRY EYTAN IN THE STEEL TRAP Fadwa Tuqan [One morning a child from Kibbutz Ma'oz Hayyim asked, "How much longer must we defend the motherland?" It was an awesome question.] Under the tree, branching out, spreading and growing ... growing In savage rhythms, Under the "star", as it builds before his very eyes Walls of bloody dreams, Forming a trap, held tightly together with the thread of steel, Trapping him within, denying him movement Eytan, the child, the human being, opens his eyes And asks, Why the trap and the walls? Why the time with amputated legs, clad in khaki and death, Enveloped in smoke rising from flames and from sorrows? If only the "star" could tell the truth, If only it could. But alas! Alas, the "star"! Eytan, my child You are the victim, drowning in lies, And like Eytan, the harbor is sunk in a sea of lies, Drowned by the bloated dream With the head of a dragon And a thousand arms. Alas, alas! If only you could remain the child, tlle human being! But I shudder, and live in dread That you may grow up inside the trap, In this time of amputated legs, clad in khaki, In cruel death, in smoke and sorrow. 154 ApPENDIX 1 I fear, my child, that the human in you may be smothered, That it may totter and fall- Sinking Sinking Sinking to the bottom of the abyss.

Buried: The efiD ant Unspoken in Emile Habiby's The Pessoptimist Abstract Palestinian author Emile Habibi's 1974 novel, The Secret Life of Saeed the Pessoptomist, endures as both a political and an artistic milestone in the legacy of modern Arabic literature. A masterpiece of ironic narrative and social satire, Habibi's unconventional novel powerfully represents the absurdity of the post-1948 Palestinian experience defined by a nationalism that views them as antithetical. At once sobering and farcical, Habibi's novel illustrates the "open tragedy" of the Zionist project as seen by its victims. Through the tightly wound paradoxes of alienation, affiliation, imagination, and loss which both drive and haunt the novel, I examine contemporary importance of this text as a "subaltern" narrative to represent an enduring and defiant Palestinian voice.

  • Permission to Perform: Palestinian Theatre in Jerusalem (1967-1993)
    Permission To Perform: Palestinian Theatre in Jerusalem (1967-1993) Samer Al-Saber A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: Thomas E. Postlewait, Chair Sarah Bryant-Bertail Daniel Chirot Terri Lynn Deyoung Michael Vincente Perez Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Drama University of Washington Abstract Permission To Perform: Palestinian Theatre in Jerusalem (1967-1993) Samer Al-Saber Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Thomas E. Postlewait School of Drama In the period of 1967 to 1993, Palestinian theatre became a major platform for the expression of the Palestinian identity. This dissertation asks the following question: Why and how did Palestinian theatre thrive in Jerusalem during this period? I begin this study by outlining all the laws and regulations that influenced the development of Palestinian theatre practices since the Ottoman period. Then I focus on the practices and aesthetics of the theatre troupes which successfully established theatre buildings in Jerusalem. In surveying both the state-imposed laws and the grassroots theatrical practices, I document examples of the interactions between the theatre artists and the Israeli authorities. Since Palestinian theatre artists had to apply for the permission to perform from the civilian censorship council in West Jerusalem and the military governors of various regions in the Occupied territories, the Palestinians developed various strategies and tactics in order to assert their identity and maintain their livelihood under occupation. By documenting examples of Palestinian theatre in ! ""! Jerusalem, I argue that the permission to perform shaped the way theatre flourished and eventually declined in the city.

  • Memory, Myth and the Military Government: Emile Habibi's
    Memory, Myth and the Military Government: Emile Habibi’s Collective Autobiography Seraje Assi Introduction This essay examines a body of literary works by the Palestinian writer Emile Habibi. Central to my analysis is the emergence in Habibi’s fiction of a form of writing that could perhaps be called collective autobiography – to distinguish it from the more impersonal social history – which meshes personal and popular memory to tell stories of a people in, but not of, a particular time (the period of Military Government) and of a particular place (Palestine) whose existence is unacknowledged. Habibi writes a collective autobiography which is also, in some of his best works, a form of myth, a telling of the story of a people’s origins and their fate. In these writings over four decades of literary production, Habibi’s choice of genres gradually changes, from romance and tragedy to satire and tragicomedy, as he seeks ways of portraying the paradoxes of Palestinian life in the Israeli state. Habibi’s fictional writing is seen here as belonging to the literature produced by Arabs living in Israel under the Military Government (MG) between the years 1948 and 1967. For it is to this critical period that the bulk of Habibi’s writing is devoted, Emile Habibi with Poet Mahmoud Darwish Source: serving as an intimate witness to the early al Jabha http://www.aljabha.org/?i=24799. history of Palestinians in Israel, widely Jerusalem Quarterly 52 [ 87 ] referred to as the “Israeli Arabs.” This fictional writing thus contains considerable autobiographical content, so that the question then becomes how is the MG period portrayed and imagined in Habibi’s work of this period? An answer may be found by introducing an alternative notion of Palestinian identity in this period, seeing identity in this context as a form of practice, survival tactics employed in a game that involves affirmation and rejection, collaboration and resistance but never fixed.
