Israeli Sociology’s Young Hegelian: Gershon Shafir and the Settler-Colonial Framework / Piterberg, Gabriel   Article
Piterberg, Gabriel Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In April 2014, the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) convened a conference titled “The Settler Colonial Paradigm: Debating Gershon Shafir’s Land, Labor and the Origins of the Israeli- Palestinian Conflict on Its 25th Anniversary.” This essay emanates from the conference. I first chart the dialectical emergence of Shafir’s thought out of Israeli sociology, and then gauge its impact on the growing presence of the settler-colonial framework in the study of Palestine/Israel. The analysis of Shafir’s book shows how a powerful hegemony has produced its disavowal. The examination of Palestine/Israel as a settler-colonial situation past and present underscores the benefit of studying this topic comparatively and as part of a global phenomenon.

University, community, identity: Ben-Gurion University and the city of Beersheba - a political cultural analysis / Dahan, Yitzhak   Article
Dahan, Yitzhak Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The political‒cultural paradigm has become a common theoretical framework during recent decades. Scholars use it in diverse disciplines, such as urban sociology and urban politics. This article introduces that framework into the realm of public policy within the context of the university‒community relationship. The well-known university‒community debate follows the question: to what extent should an urban university be involved and engaged in community life? The article examines the case of Ben-Gurion University and the city of Beersheba during 1970‒2012. The findings show that the local university aimed to advance its urban community and to act on behalf of community interests, but the community did not always view this involvement positively, often criticizing it. An analysis using the political‒cultural paradigm finds cultural differences between university and community which result from a long history of conflict and from different collective memories.
