Call for Papers: Culture and Conflict in Palestine/Israel, February 1-3, 2020, University of Florida.
The conference brings together scholars from the social sciences and the humanities who examine culture as a field of social and political conflicts in the Palestinian-Israeli context. Papers accepted to the conference should be based on original research, investigating cases in which specific arenas of cultural production or consumption became political battlegrounds. These arenas could include art, literature, cinema, theater, music, dance, sports, and other fields. Participants must commit to contribute a chapter to an edited volume.
The organizers will cover reasonable transportation expenses to Gainesville, Florida, as well as accommodation and meals during the conference.
