Título: La Cuestión Palestina: Tierra, Historia, Historiografía
En este taller, la historiadora Sherene Seikaly entablara una conversacion con estudiantes de posgrado para pensar la diferencia entre lo que sucedió y lo que se dice sucedió (la historiografía), tomando como referencia la antropología histórica de Michel-Rolph Trouillot. La discussion se volcara a su libro Men of Capital: Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine, para retomar preguntas sobre la tierra, la propiedad privada y los hombres y mujeres de clase media que entrelazaron el progreso y la ganancia para imaginar una utopía capitalista Pan-Arabe. Seikaly pasará después a las conecciones entre la historia y el presente vivido, así como entre la autobiografía y la escritura de la historia en su libro en ciernes, From Baltimore to Beirut: On the Question of Palestine.
Este taller ofrece herramientas para hacer preguntas incómodas y difíciles, para confrontar las intersecciones entre lo personal y lo politico, asi como los limites y las posibilidades de la economia politica feminista.

Workshop: The Question of Palestine: Land, History, Historiography
Time: Friday 4 dic 2020 04:00-6 pm Mexico City
In this workshop, historian Sherene Seikaly will join graduate students to think about the difference between what happened (history) and what is said to have happened (historiography) by drawing on the historical anthropological work of Michel-Rolph Trouillot. Turning to her work Men of Capital: Scarcity and Economy in Mandate Palestine, the discussion will turn to the questions of land, private property, and the middle class men and women who tied progress and profit to envision of a future of pan-Arab capitalist utopia. Seikaly moves to the connections between history and the lived present as well as autobiography and historical writing in her forthcoming work, From Baltimore to Beirut: On the Question of Palestine.
This workshop will provide tools on how to ask difficult and uncomfortable questions, how to confront the intersections between the personal and the political, as well as the limits and potentialities of feminist political economy.
