| Violence, Nonviolence, and Resistance:聽厂耻尘耻诲听and Struggle in Palestine Discussion on resistance movements often turns on representations of violence and nonviolence. But is there something about the violence/ nonviolence binary itself that obscures deeper understandings of popular struggle and the social, political, and economic conditions from which they emerge? In an effort to unpack that binary, this talk will examine dominant categories of nonviolence and civil resistance mapped onto Palestine and explore alternative discourses of struggle narrated by Palestinians. In particular, it explores the concept of聽蝉耻尘耻诲听or 鈥渟teadfastness鈥� among Palestinians and how it is lived as a form of nonviolence and struggle. 聽聽 Timothy Seidel is Associate Professor of Peacebuilding, Development, and Global Studies; and Director of the Center for Interfaith Engagement at EMU.
