Abstract:

This book details online academic collaborations between universities in
Europe, the USA and Palestine. The chapters recount the challenges and
successes of online collaborations which promote academic connections and
conversations with the Gaza Strip, despite a continuing blockade imposed on
Gaza since 2007, and forge relationships between individuals, institutions and
cultures. The chapters examine, from different perspectives, what happens when
languages and the internet facilitate encounters, and the fundamental
importance this has as a form of defiance and of resistance to the physical
confinement experienced by Palestinian academics, students and the general
population of Gaza. They highlight the limitations of multilingual and
intercultural encounters when they are deprived of the sensory proximity of
face-to-face situations and what is lost in the translation of languages,
practices and experiences from the ‘real’ to the ‘virtual’ world.
