Join us for the upcoming seminar 'The Liminality of Space: Palestinian Bedouin at the Margins of the International Legal Order' with Ms Bana Abu Zuluf.
When: Wednesday 27 November 2024, 1-2pm
Where: Irish Centre for Human Rights Seminar Room, University of Galway
This talk examines the evolving borders and frontiers of Israel as a settler colonial state and their impact on Palestinian Bedouin communities. Focusing on Um al Hiran, Susiya, and Khan al Ahmar, the presentation investigates how shifting borders—including settlements, zoning plans, and military zones—annihilate land and deny Palestinian existence.
By integrating history, law, and geography within the frameworks of settler colonialism and governmentality, it highlights how Bedouin urbanism disrupts state-imposed boundaries. The presentation critiques the isolation of Bedouin spaces in scholarly discourse and stresses connecting Palestinian geographies. Using archival materials, court case law, and spatial analysis, it underscores the displacement realities of Bedouin communities and their resistance to the ongoing erasure.
