OVERLOOKING THE BORDER: NARRATIVES OF A DIVIDED JERUSALEM (RAPHAEL PATAI SERIES IN JEWISH FOLKLORE AND ANTHROPOLOGY)
Book ID/图书代码： 14286018C00004
English Summary/英文概要： An ethnographic tapestry of personal and institutional narratives about Jerusalem’s social history. Overlooking the Border: Narratives of a Divided Jerusalem by Dana Hercbergs continues the dialogue surrounding the social history of Jerusalem. The book’s starting point is the border that separated the city between Jordan and Israel in 1948-1967, a lesser-known but significant period for cultural representations of Jerusalem. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, the book juxtaposes Israeli and Palestinian personal narratives about the past with contemporary museum exhibits, street plaques, tourism, and real estate projects that are reshaping the city since the decline of the peace process and the second intifada. What emerges is a portrayal of Jerusalem both as a local place with unique rhythms and topography and as a setting for national imaginaries and agendas with their attendant political and social tensions. As sites of memory, Jerusalem’s homes, streets, and natural areas form the setting for emotionally charged narratives about belonging and rights to place. Recollections of local customs and lifeways in the mid-twentieth century coalesce around residents’ desire for stability amid periods of war, dispossession, and relocation?? intertwining the mythical with the mundane. Hercbergs begins by taking the reader to the historically Arab neighborhoods of West Jerusalem, whose streets are a battleground for competing historical narratives about the Israeli-Arab War of 1948. She goes on to explore the connections and tensions between Mizrahi Jews and Palestinians living across the border from one another in Musrara, a neighborhood straddling West and East Jerusalem. The author rounds out the monograph with a semiotic analysis of contemporary tourism and architectural ventures that are entrenching ethno-national separation in the post-Oslo period. These rhetorical expressions illuminate what it means to be a ??erusalemite in the context of the city’s fraught history. Overlooking the Border examines the social and geographic significance of borders for residents’ sense of self, place, and community, and for representations of the city both locally and abroad. It is certain to be of value to scholars and advanced undergraduate and graduate students of Middle Eastern studies, history, urban ethnography, and Israeli and Jewish studies.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Dana Hercbergs写作的本书继续围绕着耶路撒冷的社会历史展开对话。本书的出发点是1948年至1967年之间将约旦和以色列之间的城市分离的边界，这是有关耶路撒冷文化表达的一个鲜为人知但意义重大的时期。基于人种学的田野调查，本书将以色列和巴勒斯坦过去的个人叙述与当代博物馆展品、街道匾额、旅游和房地产项目并列，后者自和平进程的倒退和第二次起义以来正在重塑这座城市。书中呈现的耶路撒冷既是具有独特节奏和地形的当地城市，也是政治和社会局势紧张的国家幻想和议程的背景城市。作为记忆的场所，耶路撒冷的家庭、街道和自然区域构成了关于归属和权利的情感叙述的设置。对二十世纪中旬的当地风俗和生活方式的回忆凝聚了居民在战争、失利和搬迁期间渴望稳定的愿望。本书将神话与世俗交织在一起。HecbBeg在一开始开始把读者带到西耶路撒冷历史上的阿拉伯街区，这里的街道是争夺1948年以色列-阿拉伯战争的历史叙事的战场。然后她探讨了米斯拉希犹太人和巴勒斯坦人之间的联系和紧张关系。作者通过对旅游和建筑业的符号学分析，分析了后奥斯陆时期的民族分离。本书考察了边界对居民自我、地方和社区感以及当地和国外城市的代表性的社会和地理意义。这对中东研究、历史、城市民族志、以色列和犹太研究的学者、高级本科生和研究生都是很有价值的。（LYR）
