June 1967 in Personal Stories of Palestinians and Israelis
The clash of June 1967, called by Israelis the Six-Day War and by Palestinians
the Naksa (setback), is a critical milestone within the longstanding Israeli-
Palestinian conflict. Despite all the scholarly attention ever since, there remain
unheard voices and untold stories. It is the personal stories of people in the
region that are at the center of this book. How do they remember 1967? How
were their lives affected, even changed dramatically as a result of that short war?
Listening to their stories as told some 50 years later, an incomplete tapestry
of memories and understandings emerge. This book is the product of a re-
search collaboration among Palestinian, Israeli and European folklorists, cultural
anthropologists and sociologists. The personal stories were collected in the
framework of interviews with men and women from all walks of life, on the days
before, during and after this dramatic confrontation. The book is comprised of
eleven chapters based on a corpus of several hundred conversations, as well
as eight representative interviews. Together they afford insight into differential
memories and sensations, visions of euphoria and despair, newly revived hopes,
pain and disappointment, disillusionment and repentance

University of California Press eScholarship editions
The Jews (Falasha) of northwestern Ethiopia are a unique example of a Jewish group living within an ancient, non-Western, predominantly Christian society. Hagar Salamon presents the first in-depth study of this group, called the "Hyena people" by their non-Jewish neighbors. Based on more than 100 interviews with Ethiopian immigrants now living in Israel, Salamon's book explores the Ethiopia within as seen through the lens of individual memories and expressed through ongoing dialogues. It is an ethnography of the fantasies and fears that divide groups and, in particular, Jews and non-Jews.Recurring patterns can be seen in Salamon's interviews, which thematically touch on religious disputations, purity and impurity, the concept of blood, slavery and conversion, supernatural powers, and the metaphors of clay vessels, water, and fire. The Hyena People helps unravel the complex nature of religious coexistence in Ethiopia and also provides important new tools for analyzing and evaluating inter-religious, interethnic, and especially Jewish-Christian relations in a variety of cultural and historical contexts
Embroidered Palestine: A Stitched Narrative
Palestinian rich cross-stitch embroidery is considered the groupâs âfolk marker.â In the years following the dramatic events of 1948 and 1967, âPalestinian embroideryâ gradually became a unifying form of grieving-creativity and national pride.
The present article focuses on embroidered maps of Palestine, called TaáčrÄ«z khÄráčaáč FalasáčÄ«n, that are made by Palestinian women to be framed and hung on the walls of Palestinian homes.Based on in-depth interviews with Palestinian women in Jerusalem and its vicinity, it explores and analyzes the voices arising out of this style of embroidered narrative and approaches the source of its distinctive potency. Operating within the multinarrative sounding board of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this embroidered narrative is revealed as a potent folkloric site that is able to recruit traditional creativity in order to express political, national, and gender-related sentiments
The Rhetoric of Sincerity in a Twice-Told Story
As an interviewee in a research project on the remembrance of the 1967 war, Ali, a resident and service provider of Jerusalemâs Old City, shared exceptionally vibrant stories in Hebrew with an Israeli interviewer. Later, a Palestinian interviewer interviewed Ali about the same events in his native Arabic. Leading up to a presentation of a number of Aliâs stories told in these interviews, the article examines the conditions of interviewing within and across conflict lines and the capacity of the narrating space created in dialogue to offer conditions of truth. The parallel analysis of the two interviews and a selection of stories contained therein examines Aliâs rhetoric of sincerity. It allowed for different points of emphasis with each interviewer while maintaining Aliâs sense of inner truth

F#ck Your Family!: The Visual Jurisprudence of Automobility
This paper considers the popular visual jurisprudence of bumper stickers. Drawing upon a sample sticker/driver/vehicle assemblages observed at the Gold Coast, Australia in 2014, we argue that the meanings and messages projected by the assemblages have a significant legal dimension. The argument is located at the intersection of past research into bumper stickers, increased scholarly interest in the relation of law to automobility and especially recent considerations of the popular visual jurisprudence of the motor vehicle, its cultures and semiotics. In particular we argue that the sticker/driver/vehicle assemblage represents an engagement with law and legality. We suggest this goes beyond immediate denotations of brands with intellectual property or flags and the sovereign nation state to more essential engagement with consumer capitalisms law of the image, the friend/enemy distinction, the ouroboros of rights and the essential legality of living in a polis.Arts, Education & Law Group, School of Criminology and Criminal JusticeNo Full Tex
The trigger chambers of the ATLAS muon spectrometer: production and tests
The ATLAS Muon Spectrometer (ATLAS Collaboration, ATLAS Muon Spectrometer Technical Design Report CERN/LHCC/97-22, ATLAS TDR 10, 1997.) will use dedicated detectors to trigger on muons and to identify the bunch-crossing at the appropriate rate. The Spectrometer has been designed to perform stand-alone triggering and measurement of muon transverse momentum up to 1 TeV with good resolution (from 3% up to 10% at 1 TeV). The magnetic system is composed of three large superconducting air-core toroids instrumented with trigger and high-precision tracking chambers, a central part (barrel) composed of eight coils and two end-cap magnets
