International Workshop: "Reconsidered Geographies: Territoriality in Israel and Palestine"
Center for Middle Eastern and North African Politics, Freie Universität Berlin | 5 - 6 December 2012
This workshop seeks to analyze how Palestinian and Israeli space is constructed, represented and mapped, how strategies of material and symbolic appropriation are being used and what kind of power relations are being achieved. The conference aims at challenging a physical understanding of territory and the characterization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a territorial conflict. The conference will explore the broad political, social, mnemonic, symbolic and manifest dimensions of the construction of space. Speakers will include Ahmad H. Sa'di, Michael Feige, Rhoda Kanaaneh, Erez Tzfadia, Ruba Salih, Christopher Harker, Maoz Azaryahu, Nishat Awan, Yair Wallach, Steffen Hagemann, Shelley Harten.
