SUMMARY:CMES seminar: Alternative Tourism and Political Narratives in Pales
 tine
DESCRIPTION:Contact: lisa.strombom@svet.lu.se\n\nThis talk explores the ant
 hropological dimensions of tourism in Palestine through research with Pale
 stinian organizations involved in alternative tourism initiatives across t
 he West Bank. The research includes both on-site initiatives and online fo
 rms of engagement that have become increasingly significant in recent year
 s. These initiatives foreground the political realities of everyday life u
 nder occupation and challenge dominant representations of the territory pr
 oduced by the Israeli tourism industry.Drawing on ethnographic research an
 d interviews with guides\, organizers\, and visitors\, the presentation ex
 amines how tourism becomes a space of political narration\, education\, an
 d contestation. Particular attention is given to the multiple categories a
 nd frameworks mobilized around these initiatives - including alternative\,
  political\, solidarity\, emancipatory\, and educational tourism - and to 
 the tensions and possibilities that emerge from them.The research also con
 siders the transformations these initiatives have undergone since October 
 7th 2023\, in the context of genocide\, restricted mobility\, and changing
  forms of international solidarity and engagement. It also reflects on how
  these conditions reshape both the possibilities and the limits of ethnogr
 aphic engagement itself.Coffee\, tea and pastries will be served after the
  seminar.Everyone is warmly welcome!\n\nMore information about the event:
