RE-MEDIATING THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: THE USE OF FILMS TO FACILITATE DIALOGUE by ELANA SHEFRIN Under the Direction of M. Lane Bruner ABSTRACT With the objective of outlining a decision-making process for the selection, evaluation, and application of films for invigorating Palestinian-Israeli dialogue encounters, this project researches, collates, and weaves together the historico-political narratives of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the artistic worldviews of the Israeli and Palestinian national cinemas, and the procedural designs of successful Track II dialogue interventions. Using a tailored version of Lucien Goldman’s method of homologic textual analysis, three Palestinian and three Israeli popular film texts are analyzed along the dimensions of Historico-Political Contextuality, Socio- Cultural Intertextuality, and Ethno-National Textuality. Then, applying the six “best practices” criteria gleaned from thriving dialogue programs, coupled with the six “cautionary tales” criteria gleaned from flawed dialogue models, three bi-national peacebuilding film texts are homologically analyzed and contrasted with the six popular film texts.

New US Bill Would Create Federal China-Watching Service for Translating Publications Into English by Morgan Artvukhina 11228 Subscribe Years of demonization of China by the US government and media have had a considerable effect on US public opinion, with a March Gallup poll showing 67% of Americans have a negative opinion of China and 46% see China as the US’ main foe - double what it was a year prior. A group of Republican and Democratic congress members have introduced a bill calling for the creation of a special media-monitoring service that would specialize in translating Chinese broadcasts and articles into English for the US government to analyze. The bill, introduced on Wednesday by Reps. Joaquin Castro (D-CA), Bill Keating (D-MA), Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), would create an Open Translation and Analysis Center (OTAC) with a federal budget of $80 million beginning in 2022. A congressional aide told Reuters their goal was essentially to “recreate FBIS for at least” China, referring to the Foreign Broadcast Information Service created during World War II to intercept, translate, and publish broadcasts by the Axis powers. The documents were regularly distributed to war agencies. The FBIS continued until 2005, when it became the Open Source Enterprise, now part of the CIA’s Directorate of Digital Innovation, which “makes sure teams have the tools and techniques they need to operate in a modern, connected world and still be clandestine,” according to the agency’s website.

  • I CAMBIAMENTI DELLA 21A KNESSET E LA NUOVA-VECCHIA MAGGIORANZA DI NETANYAHU* Di Enrico Campelli**
    I CAMBIAMENTI DELLA 21A KNESSET E LA NUOVA-VECCHIA MAGGIORANZA DI NETANYAHU* di Enrico Campelli** ’analisi del quadrimestre gennaio-aprile 2019 non può prescindere, relativamente all’ordinamento israeliano, da uno studio della recente tornata elettorale del 9 aprile, che, secondo quanto riportato dal Comitato Elettorale L Centrale, ha visto una affluenza del 68,46% degli aventi diritto e un totale di 4-340.253 voti validi. I molti risultati delle urne hanno infatti sancito, con una buona dose di prevedibilità, la vittoria del Likud di Benjamin Netanyahu, che, con 1.140.370 voti validi ricevuti (il 26,46%), ha già ottenuto dal Presidente Rivlin il mandato per la formazione del suo quinto mandato, il quarto consecutivo. Proprio a causa degli avvenimenti che avevano decretato lo scioglimento anticipato della 20a Knesset e il ritorno prima del tempo alle urne (le elezioni erano infatti originariamente programmate per novembre 2019), le elezioni politiche appena trascorse si sono trasformate in un vero e proprio referendum sulla leadership di Netanyahu, che con buona probabilità riuscirà a formare il prossimo Esecutivo dello Stato di Israele. Nonostante le divisioni presenti nella sua maggioranza (forti infatti furono gli scontri tra le formazioni di destra più laica come Ysrael Beitenu e le varie fazioni ultraortodosse sul * Contributo sottoposto a Peer Review ** Dottorando di ricerca in Diritto Pubblico, Comparato e Internazionale presso il Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche dell’Università di Roma “La Sapienza” Cronache costituzionali dall’estero, gennaio-aprile 2019 Nomos 1-2019 ISSN 2279-7238 2 tema della coscrizione militare dei haredim), e le pressanti indagini penali sul suo conto, sotto la leadership di Netanyahu si prepare una nuova (e vecchia) maggioranza pronta per guidare nuovamente la Knesset sul filo sottile di numeri tutt’altro che ampli.
