Discursive Constructions of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Edited by
Innocent Chiluwa, Heriot-Watt University
Giuliana Tiripelli, De Montfort University

To be published by Cambridge University Press


The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only the world’s oldest
conflict but also the most controversial and the most misunderstood.
No other conflict has generated the most news headlines, or stirred up
so much intense passion and debates in world parliaments,
disagreements on campuses, or arguments in international organisations
(Waxman, 2019). Symbolic and ideological constructions of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict represent a variety of perspectives as
well as diverse interpretations and representations of the conflict
across different media, law reports, policy statements, religious
journals, etc. These varied and often contested perspectives enable us
gain a comprehensive  understanding of the conflict – about  human
struggles and resistance to forces that threaten their existence.

The editors of this oncoming collection seek thoroughly researched
academic studies that will not only contribute to new knowledge
through in-depth analyses of the constructions of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict but also highlight how public opinion,
perceptions, attitudes and responses to the conflict might have been
influenced or  manipulated by these ideological constructions.

We therefore invite researchers, scholars and professionals in
conflict and peace studies, linguistics, journalism, media studies,
discourse analysis, semiotics, political science and cultural studies
to submit chapters that will highlight  interdisciplinary approaches
to Discourse Analysis to studying discursive constructions of:

•       media reports
•       online reports/campaigns
•       law reports
•       religious documents
•       political discourses
•       policy statements etc. that

Please, submit an abstract of about 250 words as an email attachment
to:

ichiluwa at gmail.com /ic3000 at hw.ac.uk and giulianatiripelli at gmail.com


Deadline:  December 31, 2024.

This is a 2-year project and we hope the book should be released by
the Autumn of 2026.
