Israel-Palestine seminar Iremam / Mesopolhis 2023

Organised by doctoral students at IREMAM (UMR 7310) and MESOPOLHIS (UMR 7064), this public seminar aims to provide a monthly meeting place for researchers, post-doctoral students, doctoral students and masters students in the humanities and social sciences whose research focuses on Israeli-Palestinian spaces. The aim of these regular meetings is to provide a forum where post-doctoral and doctoral students can present their current research and receive feedback from researchers and teacher-researchers working in the region. 
Following on from the ANR programme Mobilities, Borders and Conflicts in Israeli-Palestinian Spaces (2007-2011) and the Palestinian Spatialities and Temporalities research seminar (2017-2020), this monthly meeting is part of a drive to decompartmentalise the fields of Israeli and Palestinian studies, which are strongly structured by the history of the conflict and the mobilisation of the humanities and social sciences in the construction of major national narratives. This interdisciplinary seminar will provide an opportunity to share our tools and to problematise our respective approaches and concepts from both an epistemological and a methodological perspective. It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on the processes that have contributed to the compartmentalised structure of knowledge production in this part of the world up to the present day. The six 2-hour sessions, scheduled to take place between February and June 2023, will be divided into three parts. The first part will be devoted to a 20-minute summary presentation of the written work of one of the doctoral students. This will be followed by a 30-minute argumentative commentary by a post-doctoral student, researcher or teacher-researcher, based on the text provided in advance. Finally, the debate will be opened up to the room for collective discussion, particularly with the other doctoral students. The format will be hybrid (face-to-face/visioconference) and a podcast will be produced for each seminar.

Programme of session 5 on Thursday 25 May 2023

Hugo Darroman  (Iremam) / Iris Seri Hersch  (Iremam), 2pm - 4pm, room A219, MMSH, Aix en Provence   

At the next session, Hugo Darroman, a doctoral student at the Institut de Recherche et d'Etudes sur les Mondes Arabes et Musulmans (IREMAM) under the supervision of Fabienne Lehouerou, will present the progress of his work. In a talk entitled "How to make the history of a Palestinian cinema 'in need of archives'? Elements of methodology for a history of cultural circulation", he will look in particular at the adjustments made to get round the difficulties of accessing a complex field. To discuss this paper, Iris Seri-Hersch, senior lecturer in Contemporary History (IREMAM) will provide a disciplinary perspective on this ongoing research. 

Organised by Théo Borel and Gabriel Terrasson, doctoral students at IREMAM (UMR 7310) and MESOPOLHIS (UMR 7064), this public seminar aims to provide a monthly meeting place for researchers, post-docs, doctoral students and masters students in the humanities and social sciences whose research focuses on Israeli-Palestinian spaces.
