Nakba at 73: what lies ahead?

Publicado el 12 de mayo 2021

To commemorate Nakba Day, Casa Árabe and the Diplomatic Mission of Palestine in Spain present this conference with Hanan Ashrawi, political and civil society leader, academic and Palestinian activist. She will be speaking with José Vericat on May 17 at 6 p.m. at our headquarters in Madrid. The event will be broadcast live on Youtube and Facebook Live. 1948 marks the start of the Nakba, “catastrophe” or “disaster” in Arabic, when more than 700,000 Palestinians had to flee from their lands, and hundreds of cities and towns were destroyed or forcibly depopulated. Since then, many UN Resolutions have been disregarded by Israel, which has carried out the construction of illegal settlements and deepened its occupation of the Palestinian territories. Against the odds, the Palestinian people have refused to forget and give up the right of return and have continued to resist throughout the decades. In this conference, organized with the cooperation of the Diplomatic Mission of Palestine in Spain, Hanan Ashrawi will talk about the deep legacy of the Nakba, but also about current Palestinian affairs in the light of the recent crisis in Jerusalem and Gaza. She will also tackle the prospects for future elections and reform in Palestine and the role of the European Union. Hanan Ashrawi will be joining the event through an online connection from Ramallah and will engage in a dialogue with José Vericat, Senior Adviser at the European Institute for Peace. Presented by: Musa Amer Odeh, Ambassador of Palestine in Spain and Pedro Martínez-Avial, Director General of Casa Árabe. Hanan Ashrawi is a distinguished Palestinian leader, legislator, activist, and scholar who served as a member of the Leadership Committee and as an official spokesperson of the Palestinian delegation to the Middle East peace process, beginning with the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991. Making history as the first woman to hold a seat in the highest executive body in Palestine, she was elected as member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 2009 and most recently in 2018. She resigned in 2020. In 1996, Dr. Ashrawi was appointed as the Palestinian Authority Minister of Higher Education and Research. She was elected to the Palestinian Legislative Council representing Jerusalem in 1996, and she was re-elected for the “Third Way” bloc ticket in 2006. As a civil society activist, she founded the Independent Commission for Human Rights (1994), MIFTAH, the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy (1998) and AMAN, the National Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (1999). She serves on the advisory and international boards of several global, regional and local organizations, and she is the recipient of numerous awards from all over the world, , including the distinguished French decoration, “d'Officier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur” (2016), and several academic accolades, including eleven honorary doctorates from universities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and the Arab world. José S. Vericat is Senior Adviser at the European Institute for Peace. He’s a seasoned Middle East expert with more than two decades of experience working in conflict zones. Before joining the European Institute of Peace, he was the Carter Center’s Israel-Palestine Country Representative and Field Office Director promoting viable peace between Israelis and Palestinians and inter-Palestinian reconciliation. Previously, he was a Middle East advisor at the International Peace Institute (IPI) influencing policy-making at the UN headquarters, an EU official working on security sector reform in Palestine, and a prize-winning journalist covering the Second Intifada and the Iraq war.

Conference by Ilan Pappé: The Semblance of Peace in Palestine

On Monday, May 13, 2013, Ilan Pappe, Director of the European Center for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter (United Kingdom) gave a conference at Casa Árabe's headquarters in Madrid. The event was presented by Musa Odeh, the Ambassador of Palestine in Spain, and Eduardo López Busquets, the General Director of Casa Árabe. During his conference, Professor Ilan Pappe analyzed the efforts which have been made in the peace process since 1967, focusing his hypothesis on the idea that these efforts have been based on a false paradigm which has ignored the Israeli strategy concerning the Palestinian Territories. Pappe analyzed this viewpoint and the implications it has for the future of the region. This conference, held with the cooperation of the Diplomatic Mission of Palestine in Spain, has been organized on the day of the Nakba (May 15), the date on which Palestinians commemorate the partition of the Palestinians' territories under the British Mandate in 1948, and their indigenous population was dispersed until today. Ilan Pappe Born in Haifa in 1954, Mr. Pappe is the Director of the European Center for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. He forms part of a group of Israeli academics known for their work on historic revisionism, especially in relation with the events that took place in 1948. He is the author of 15 books, several of which have been translated into Spanish, with the titles La limpieza étnica de Palestina (The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Crítica, 2008); Historia de la Palestina moderna: un territorio, dos pueblos (History of Modern Palestine: One Territory, Two Peoples, Akal, 2007); Gaza en Crisis (Gaza in Crisis, with Noam Chomsky, Taurus, 2011).

Jornadas dedicadas a Edward Said en Casa Árabe

Casa Árabe organizó una mesa redonda dedicada al intelectual de Edward W. Said. Durante la jornada, varios expertos reflexionaron sobre su herencia y su influencia en los estudios culturales, poscoloniales, árabes e islámicos. El acto contó con la participación de Patricia Almarcegui, escritora y profesora de Literatura Comparada; Víctor Pallejà, islamólogo y arabista de la Universidad Pompeu Fabra; Jordi Àngel Carbonell, historiador del Arte de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili, y Eduardo López Busquets, director general de Casa Árabe. En el año 2013 se cumple el décimo aniversario de la muerte de Edward W. Said (1935-2003). Profesor de Literatura Comparada de la Universidad de Columbia, acuñó el término "orientalismo" o la forma en que se ha configurado la imagen del mundo árabe e islámico en Occidente. De allí no solo surgió una disciplina que obligó a cuestionar y revisar la relación entre Oriente y Occidente a lo largo de la historia, sino que dio lugar a los conocidos estudios culturales y poscoloniales. Con detractores y defensores, el orientalismo sigue siendo hoy causa de polémica. Con motivo de la celebración del aniversario, esta mesa redonda pretende revisar la disciplina a partir de los acontecimientos sociales y análisis culturales de los últimos diez años. ¿Ha cambiado la percepción de Oriente tras las revueltas árabes? ¿Cómo sería hoy la reflexión de Said? ¿Por qué la crítica a Said procede precisamente de los estudios que él mismo generó? ¿Son los estudios culturales y poscoloniales una nueva forma de poder? Los participantes en la mesa reflexionaron sobre estas preguntas con distintas ponencias centradas en tres ámbitos distintos: Patricia Almárcegui habló de las reflexiones post-Said en el ámbito internacional y de la influencia en los estudios culturales y poscoloniales; Víctor Pallejà analizó la influencia de Said en los estudios árabes e islámicos en España y Jordi Ángel Carbonell, se detuvo en los postulados de Said en relación con la pintura española, haciendo un repaso de la iconografía del orientalismo español.
