The Academic Question of Palestine<\/i><\/b><\/a>, Middle East Critique, Volume 33, Issue 3 (2024)<\/b><\/p>\n

Guest-edited by <\/span>Walaa Alqaisiya<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Nicola Perugini<\/span><\/a>, this special edition of <\/span>The Academic Question of Palestine <\/span><\/i>features 11 essays by academics who address the censorship of Palestinian studies and protests against the war on Gaza in Western universities. Edward Said\u2019s <\/span>The Question of Palestine<\/span><\/i><\/a> (1979)<\/span><\/i> was the first book to narrate and historify the Palestinian experience in English.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, a crisis of scholasticide is ever pressing and <\/span>The Academic Question of Palestine<\/span><\/i> special issue has been published when, as written by the co-editors in the introduction: \u201cthousands of instances of repression against scholarship, scholars, and students working on the question of Palestine\u201d are reported to university authorities or targeted online. In their essays, contributors untangle why liberal rhetoric prioritises Zionist power within universities; in the case of <\/span>Somdeep Sen\u2019s<\/span><\/a> \u201c<\/span>\u2018Axis of Evil\u2019 and the Academic Repression of Palestine Solidarity<\/span><\/i><\/a>,<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/i> this suppression is linked to the legacy of the War on Terror and its discourses of \u201cgood\u201d vs \u201cevil.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, students took action against their universities, with <\/span>members of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest analyzing<\/span><\/a> their political protest and discussing key takeaways from the struggle. Outside of American academia, other articles focus on the repression of Palestinian support in <\/span>Austria<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Germany<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Australia<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> and <\/span>Canada<\/span><\/a>, each with particular concerns over supporting Zionism and controlling dialects of genocide. Notably, the launch for <\/span>The Academic Question of Palestine<\/span><\/i> took place at the London School of Economics, which banned seven students from campus after they had protested in support of Palestine against the school’s \u201c<\/span>“\u00a389m of ‘egregious investments<\/span><\/a>.’\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Afterlife of Palestinian Images.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Afterlife of Palestinian Images: Visual Remains and the Archive of Disappearance<\/span><\/i><\/a> by Azza El Hassan, Palgrave\/Macmillan, Dec 2024<\/span><\/p>\n

In her new book, Palestinian filmmaker Azza El Hassan chronicles her multi-year project in the recovery of Palestinian images which had previously been lost to Israeli looting. In finding this dispersed visual heritage and writing about her experiences, El Hassan develops an archival methodology, which she described at the book\u2019s launch as part of the <\/span>London Palestinian Film Festival<\/span><\/a>, as \u201canti disappearance.\u201d It doesn\u2019t record a lost people because the Palestinian nation is not lost. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t our past that was being plundered, it [is] our present,\u201d she said, recounting the time her film reels were destroyed during a random search of her home in Ramallah by the IDF. This is one of the many personal memories included in <\/span>The Afterlife of Palestinian Images<\/span><\/i>, where memoir and film history entwine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El Hassan considers the pioneering work of the Palestine Film Unit, a militant filmmaking collective which was founded in 1968 and worked until its dissolution in the late 1980s. One of the unit\u2019s founding filmmakers, the revolutionary photographer and cinematographer <\/span>Hani Jawharieh<\/span><\/a>, is also a key figure for El Hassan. Jawharieh\u2019s work focused on portraying the resistance against Israeli occupation, and he was martyred in 1976 as he was filming combat in Lebanon. El Hassan purposely eschews objective history because, as she explained, \u201cThis is my world. When I talk about Palestine, I\u2019m talking about myself.\u201d More than a study of archival film practices, <\/span>The Afterlife of Palestinian Images<\/span><\/i> is a collection of stories of active resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
