  • Jerusalem, Between Urban Area and Apparition from Multi Ethnic City To
    Jerusalem, Between Urban Area and Apparition From Multi ethnic city to nationalism? Jerusalem in the early 20th century Mamilla 1 Introduction : Jerusalem, City of Collision. Home to the most sacred sites to all three religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam; that embraces within it the Western Wall, a remnant from the Second Temple and the holiest place in Judaism, the holy Sepulcher and the Al- Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest site in Islam. A city that is highly significant to Palestinians and Israelis alike, regardless to how each side see it –a crucial focal point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A city of symbolism, that is very important to Palestinians and Israelis, both of who see Jerusalem as their nation’s capital, in which both justify the conflict over the city through religious and historical motives that are empowered by political ones. However, to live in Jerusalem is to be constantly reminded of the raw tensions running just beneath the roughly hewn Jerusalem stone, where every action and what often seems like every step is fraught with political, cultural, religious and ethnic consequence. Unsurprisingly, even the dead in the Holy City are subject to the conflicts of the living. Since the occupation of Israel to Jerusalem, Israel has been building and expanding colonies beyond the Green Line and as of the 1990s it has been settling Jews in the middle of densely populated Palestinian neighborhoods. Jerusalem became a unified city, in which an unprecended separation between its residences occurred. Arabs and Jews are totally separated, culturally, socially and of course politically.

  • A Protestant Perspective on Vatican II & 50 Years
    Page 1 of 11 Original Research A Protestant perspective on Vatican II & 50 years: An engagement with dissent Author: The Second Vatican Council (1962–1965) is regarded by many in Protestant circles as one of Graham A.

  • The Representation of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict in Palestinian Museums
    The Yasser Arafat Museum Chapter Two MASTER THESIS: MUSEUM STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM THE REPRESENTATION OF THE PALESTINIAN-ISRAELI CONFLICT IN PALESTINIAN MUSEUMS THE YASSER ARAFAT MUSEUM, THE PALESTINIAN MUSEUM AND THE WALLED OFF ART HOTEL Shirin Husseini 11386118 Supervisor: Dr. Chiara De Cesari Second Reader: Dr. Mirjam Hoijtink Date of Completion: 29 March 2018 Word Count: 28,023 Front page image: Al-Nakba (Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948) exhibit in the Yasser Arafat Museum, Ramallah. Photograph Credit: (Yasser Arafat Museum, n.d.). i The Representation of The Palestinian-Israeli Conflict in Palestinian Museums The Yasser Arafat Museum, The Palestinian Museum and the ‘Walled Off’ Art Hotel A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MA Museum Studies (Heritage Studies) March 2018 ii Abstract This thesis tackles the expansion of the museum sector in Palestine, and the noticeable emergence in the last few years of museums of a larger scale and higher quality, which try to contribute to the national narrative. In exploring this topic, I discuss the statelessness of Palestine and the lack of sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority, which has created a disorganised and unattended performance of different actors in the museum field. As a result, museums create their own narratives and display national history without any unifying national strategy to lead them. Through an analysis of three museums, each of which display narratives about contemporary Palestinian history, I argue that the different affiliations of these museums, their organisational structures, funding resources, and political ideologies, shape their representation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. As the conflict is at the centre of Palestinian collective memory and national identity, this representation could be influential in the future of the Palestinian state-building endeavour.
