4.    ONLINE: Live Talk: "Unseen Question? Zionism and the Palestinians under the British Mandate", Balfour Project, 8 October 2020, 3:00 pm, GMT

 

This talk is by Ian Black, Middle East Centre, LSE. From the early days of Zionist settlement in Palestine it was clear that the project faced opposition from the native Arab majority. Hostility escalated with the start of British rule. Zionist leaders admitted that a national confrontation was under way but official public messaging was that Arabs would benefit from the Jewish economic development of the country. By the end of the Palestinian “great rebellion” of 1936-1939 that was exposed as an illusion.

39.  Book Proposals for New Series on “Cinema and Media Cultures in the Middle East“, Peter Lang Publishing

 

The purpose of the series is to demarcate and critically examine the shifting terrain of film- and media-making in the Middle East, and of practices of film and media studies regarding it, testing them both against their larger, social enabling conditions at the national, regional, and transnational levels. Titles in the series will engage recent developments in the field of Middle East film and media studies.
