Heritage and archaeology in Silwan and the City of David with Joel Stokes
Manage episode 346514446 series 2907563
Heritage claims are unequivocally tied to the idea of socio-political legitimacy. This applies most poignantly amongst communities bound by a shared ethnic, religious, historical, or indeed national, identity. Joel’s research investigates fluctuations of socio-political legitimacy vis-à-vis heritage within cross-cultural, and often contested spaces. More specifically, Joel talked about the case study of the Jewish-Israeli-run City of David archaeological site and tourist centre, and the Palestinian Village of Silwan, both of which are situated in East Jerusalem. We also talked about the more than 150 years history of Palestinian workers and diggers employed by a variety of archaeologists up to the current day with the controversial digging led by Elad which also aims at displacing Palestinians from Silwan.
