| Inhalt | The Israeli-Palestinian conflict attracts widespread interest that often exceeds the conflict’s actual dimensions. Beyond this general interest are many open questions concerning the nature, historical study, and possible solutions to the conflict. On the Israeli side, the conflict, and particularly the outcome of the 1948 war, is mostly viewed as a historical affair, far removed from the present. For many Palestinians, however, 1948 and its outcome is on open political question that weighs heavily on their existence and identity. We will discuss, after a series of introductory units on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the ways in which the conflict is presented, studied, and internalized. Moving beyond the conflict, we will also get acquainted with general theoretical approaches to history, nationalism, memory and identity that can be applied to other settings. |
| Lernziele | Students will gain understanding of the emergence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the rise of Jewish and Palestinian Arab nationalism, and the main issues surrounding the study and historical writing about the conflict. These issues influence discussions about the conflict and possible solutions up the present. |
