THE DAVID BERG INSTITUTE for LAW and HISTORY at Tel Aviv University ______ THE DAVID BERG INSTITUTE FOR LAW AND HISTORY at Tel Aviv University ___________ 2013‐2014 Annual Report Submitted by Assaf Likhovski, Director The David Berg Institute for Law and History Buchmann Faculty of Law Tel Aviv University [email protected] 011 (972) 3‐640‐8018 We are delighted to submit the 2013‐2014 Annual Report for The David Berg Institute for Law and History at the TAU Buchmann Faculty of Law. We are particularly proud of several new activities for young legal historians that were launched this year. The David Berg Summer School for Young Legal Historians (item no. 2) provided graduate students and young untenured faculty the opportunity to present their research projects to leading senior legal historians, who provided valuable commentary. The Institute supported a yearlong series of meetings initiated and organized by young legal history graduate students at TAU (item no. 15); and we hosted our first post‐doctoral student (item no. 16). The David Berg Institute also completed two major projects essential to the Israeli legal history infrastructure. We collaborated with the Nevo Legal Database and the TAU David J. Light Law Library on the digitization of the Hebrew version of the Mandatory Palestine Gazette (item no. 17); and completed work on a new updated bibliography of secondary sources on Israeli legal history (item no. 18). This was in addition to the support the Institute provides to legal history‐related research by TAU graduate students and faculty, and to our many conferences, symposia and lectures. This year, for the first time, we videotaped some of these events, and they are now available for viewing online (see items 1, 5 & 13). 2 | CONFERENCES, SYMPOSIA AND LECTURES 1. THE 5TH ANNUAL DAVID BERG INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: THE ARTS IN LEGAL HISTORY June 22‐24, 2014 | See Appendix A The conference emerged from a peculiar observation about the relationship of law and the arts. The cultural turn of the last decades has prompted historians to turn to finding meaning in the situated subject. Methodologically, sources considered “aesthetic” – the arts of all sorts, canonic and non‐ canonic, textual, visual, music, and performing arts – have thus gained a pride of place in historical inquiry; the plurality and instability of meanings they signal, and their perceived proximity to situated human experience, became not only unproblematic, but right to the point. Legal history, however, has been more reluctant to embrace aesthetic sources. It has become inter‐ and multidisciplinary, yet its array of sources has left the arts still marginalized. The use of aesthetic sources seems to demand explanation, theorization, introduction even, particularly in work that does not draw on existing law‐in‐arts paradigms. Our conference brought together historians from different departments whose work involves legal history and the arts, in an effort to explore and thicken the venues and possibilities for this work. Participants were invited to present original work and address a host of pertinent issues, among them: . Does the use of aesthetic sources mandate/authorize/encourage/open up new avenues in legal history and in jurisprudence? . How is the use of aesthetic sources theorized? Within what conception of law? Within what vision of legal history? In what theoretical relations to other historical sources? . What happens to legal history when it draws on aesthetic sources? Are positivist accounts of legal history, and of law as a verifiable social fact, threatened? And if so, what replaces them? . For those who experience the introduction of aesthetic sources as part of a shift to more modest, complex, unsure grounds of meaning‐making – how is a sense of reality preserved, theorized, authorized? . Which aesthetic sources does one choose? Why? How are choices related to one’s conception of law, legal history, or specific historical inquiries? . What does the practice of reading aesthetic sources historically look like? What does one actually do? . How does the analysis of classically “legal” sources in history change under the pressure of aesthetic sources? . What are the historical and ideological forces behind the marginality of aesthetic sources in legal history? What does the gap mean for the uses of legal history for historians in general? . What are the prospects for legal histories engaged with aesthetic sources? What would it take to move their insights into the mainstream? The first two days of the conference took place at Tel Aviv University. On the third day, participants toured the National Library of Israel. Dr. Milka Levy‐Rubin, the curator of the Humanities collection, hosted the participants, presenting appropriate conference‐related documents. 3 | SPONSORS TAU David Berg Institute for Law and History TAU Cegla Center for Interdisciplinary Research of the Law.

  • Netanyahu Incita All’
    Israele guarda con nervosismo come Trump abbandoni i suoi alleati siriani Lily Galili – Tel Aviv, Israele 10 ottobre 2019 – Middle East Eye Negli ultimi giorni la leadership israeliana ha imparato due cose: a non credere di sapere cosa farà il presidente USA e a non fidarsi di lui come alleato. Durante il Capodanno ebraico è successa una cosa incredibile: per la prima volta il presidente Trump è stato paragonato, nei media israeliani, al suo predecessore, Barack Obama. Non è cosa di poco conto. Per la maggioranza degli israeliani, che si colloca fra il centro e l’estrema destra, Trump è un idolo americano, il migliore amico che Israele abbia mai avuto alla Casa Bianca. Barack Hussein Obama era, per quegli stessi israeliani, l’epitome di tutti i mali. Secondo il Pew, un centro di ricerca con sede a Washington, uno studio recente ha rilevato che solo 2 Paesi su 37 preferiscono Trump a Obama: Russia e Israele. E probabilmente è ancora così. Ma il senso di preoccupazione e di tradimento incombente, innescato dal ritiro improvviso delle truppe americane dal nord della Siria e dall’abbandono senza scrupoli dei curdi, alleati sia dell’America che di Israele, ora cancella l’iniziale adorazione. Né i militari né i politici israeliani considerano la riduzione delle truppe Usa e l’offensiva militare turca che ne è seguita come un pericolo imminente per Israele. Finora ‘i disordini’, come le fonti ufficiali tendono a descrivere la situazione, sono confinati a una regione lontana dal confine tra Israele e la Siria. Ci sono comunque due elementi che preoccupano notevolmente Israele.

The committee was announced by Trump last month during the unveiling of his Middle East peace plan, which would see Israel applying sovereignty to swathes of the West Bank in exchange for parts of Israel's south and a cluster of Arab-majority towns in the north. The participants' goal, as Trump said, is to "convert the conceptual map" shown in the plan into a "more detailed and calibrated rendering so that recognition can be immediately achieved.” See also, “US-Israeli mapping committee for Trump peace plan said finalized” (TOI) Ynet News Palestinian PM: Trump's Mideast Plan 'Will be Buried' The Palestinian prime minister lashed out Sunday at U.S.
