European Cultural Diplomacy and Arab Christians in Palestine, 1918-1948 Between Contention and Connection, 2020

Relying predominantly on unpublished sources, it examines the relationship between European cultural agendas and local identity formation processes and discusses the social and religious transformations of Arab Christian communities in Palestine via cultural lenses from an entangled perspective.
The 17 chapters reflect diverse research interests, from case studies of individual archives to chapters that question the concept of cultural diplomacy more generally. They illustrate the diversity of scholarship that enables a broad-based view of how cultural diplomacy functioned during the interwar period, but also the ways in which its meanings have changed. The book considers British Mandate Palestine as an internationalised node within a transnational framework to understand how the complexity of cultural interactions and agencies engaged to produce new modes of modernity.

Cet ouvrage d'art et de vulgarisation scientifique lutte contre un ensemble de phénomènes sociaux et culturels, tels que le patriarcat et le sexisme, qui ont contribué et contribuent encore à l'invisibilisation des femmes* dans l'histoire et dans l'espace public. Il est le fruit d'un travail collaboratif, local et inclusif, prolongeant l’installation provisoire de cent plaques portant le nom de femmes* dans les rues de Genève. Rédigé par des historiennes de l’Université de Genève, coédité par Caroline Montebello et Laure Piguet et réalisé sous la direction de l’association féministe l’Escouade, ce livre est illustré par dix artistes genevoises, alumnae de la HEAD – Genève, partenaire du projet.
