The Palestinian Cause in Arts, Media

and Scientific Research
LINK OF THE CALL: http://www.literarts.org/si/index/502025
Deadline for manuscript submissions: Jun. 30, 2024

The Palestinian Cause has long been a focal point for both Arabic and international societies,
transcending gender, nationality, and age, and encompassing a wide range of educational and
professional backgrounds. It has inspired various forms of artistic expression, including literature,
music, drama, dance, visual arts, and film, as well as media investigations and academic studies.
This cause has been recognized as an international issue, prompting in-depth examinations from
different perspectives. Artists, both Palestinian and from the broader Arabic and international
communities, have contributed significantly to addressing the Palestinian Cause. Their collective
action underscores the universality of the issue, evoking deep emotions and a sense of shame in
those who fail to grasp its depth and sensitivity. The love for Palestinian territory permeates the
veins of many societies, fostering a strong attachment to the Palestinian land.

Among the native Palestinian artists, prominent figures such as poets Mahmoud Darouich and
Rifaf Zieda, painters Jamel Bedouin and the late Ismael Chammout, and the recently deceased
artist and activist Rim Al Banna have captured the Palestinian experience through their respective
artistic mediums. Furthermore, numerous Arabic artists have consistently engaged with the
Palestinian Cause in their artistic pursuits, using art as a means of expression. Notably, the
collaboration between the Rahbani brothers (a poet and composer) and the Lebanese singer
Fairouz resulted in the creation of the renowned song "Zahrat Al Madaen" (The Flower of Cities),
which powerfully conveyed the pain of the June 1967 setback. Arabic poets, too, have delved
deep into the Palestinian quest, with the late Syrian poet Nizar Kabbani gaining recognition for his
transcendent poems that crossed linguistic boundaries. The Palestinian cause has also found
expression in docu-fiction films, including the notable work "Swallows Do Never Die in Jerusalem"
by Tunisian filmmaker Ridha El Behi. Caricature and photography have played a significant role in
portraying the Palestinian Cause, particularly with their widespread dissemination through social
media platforms. These expressive art forms, with their instantaneous reach and timely updates,
have become powerful instruments in supporting the Palestinian cause. Through these diverse
artistic expressions and the power of media, the Palestinian Cause has emerged as a testament
to pain and suffering, inspiring a collective demand for liberation from nations worldwide.
This phenomenon calls for analysis, which can be explored through the contributions of different
participants focusing on three main axes:
 (1) The Palestinian Cause, as it is treated in artworks (music, cinema, literature, paintings,
sculptures…)
 (2) The Palestinian Cause, as it is treated through media (interviews, investigations, pictures,
reports…)
 (3) The Palestinian Cause, as a study and/or research field (in philosophy, psychology, human
sciences, sociology…)
We invite researchers, educators and practitioners to contribute their insights, experiences and
research findings to this special issue.
