Archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem capture worldwide attention. However, the continuing quest to discover the city’s physical remains is not simply an attempt to define its historical legacy. In the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is also an attempt to legitimate - or undercut - national claims to sovereignty. Bridging the gap between popular coverage and specialized literature, Finding Jerusalem provides a comprehensive tour of the politics of archaeology in the city. Through an analysis of the material evidence, Galor illuminates the complex legal contexts and ethical precepts that underlie archaeological activity and the discourse of “cultural heritage” in Jerusalem, and investigates how it has been shaped by religious and political agendas from the beginning of archaeological explorations in the mid-19th century to the present.
This event brought author Dr Katharina Galor into discussion with Dr Nazmi Jubeh about the findings of the book.
Katharina Galor is a Visiting Professor at the Theologische Fakultät at Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. She has published widely on the visual and material culture of ancient Palestine including her co-authored book on The Archaeology of Jerusalem: From the Origins to the Ottomans (Yale University Press, 2013).
Nazmi Jubeh is Associate Professor of History and Archaeology at Birzeit University, Palestine. He is a specialist on Jerusalem and Hebron in general, and the Holy Sites in particular.
This book launch was a joint event between the Kenyon Institute, the Educational Bookshop and Dar al-Tifel al-Arabi; and took place at Dar Isaaf Nashashibi in East Jerusalem on 28th August 2017.
