HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE ISRAELI-PALESTI...

This study aims to investigate the role of history writing and the development of conflict
narratives that emerge out of a particular understanding of history. The Israeli-Palestinian
conflict is used as a case study of a context in which the competition for the correct
interpretation of history contributes to the intractability of the conflict. An initial
investigation into how history is written and subsequently turned into conflict narratives
provides a theoretical understanding of the role of narrative in the conflict. Five key themes
are analyzed: narratives of self-determination and nationalism  narratives of religion 
narratives of security  narratives of the Nakba and the Shoah and narratives of partition. The
analysis shows how these narratives are used to sustain the conflict and deepen the fault lines
between the conflict parties  but also how mutual understanding and a possible path towards
peace can be forged through narratives.
