Информация

Alaa Al-Azza, an assistant professor in cultural anthropology at Birzeit University's Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, specializes in memory studies, particularly Palestinian memory. He explores questions related to history, nostalgia, and hegemony within Palestinian memory. In a recent interview conducted by Noura Salah Al-Din, Professor Al-Azza discussed the knowledge industry in general and memory studies in Palestine as an epistemological position in particular.

The conversation delved into Palestine as a field of knowledge and the research methodologies derived from it. Al-Azza highlighted how Palestinian memory can serve as a critique of prevailing global and local narratives. The discussion encompassed topics such as the relationship between memory, remembrance, and history, as well as the role of commemoration and memory-making.

Al-Azza and Al-Din also explored the Palestinian Authority's influence on memory, the dynamics of Palestinian violence and non-violence, and the impact of the present and future on shaping the past. They discussed themes of hope, nostalgia, and the reconsideration of the first intifada as a struggle between hegemonic forces and the creation of alternative hegemonies, while also imagining future possibilities.
