L'article retrace une lecture historique des universités palestiniennes, en identifiant les acteurs, leurs profils, etc. Nous exposons ensuite les différents modes de financement internationaux de la recherche dans les universités et les organismes de recherche, puis les liens entre les institutions palestiniennes et les différents champs universitaires internationaux. L'article est organisé en trois parties : dans un premier temps, j'expose le cadre historique et institutionnel d'exercice des universités, en montrant comment université et nationalisme inter-agissent et structurent l'espace sociétal. Dans un second temps, j'analyse les contraintes internes et externes. Dans la dernière partie enfin, j'analyse les dynamiques de production des savoirs et l'influence d'acteurs internationaux. Signalons enfin que cette recherche s'appuie sur des réflexions théoriques et des études empiriques que nous avons menées, notamment à partir d'une observation participante.

This paper aims at investigating the presence of the dichotomy of violence and non-violence in contemporary Palestinian political rhetoric and practice. To do so, I will explore the varied Palestinian discourses tracing from the contemporary back to the early twentieth century, where I will interrogate anti-colonials practice both in violent and non-violent modes. Throughout, I will map-out the different agencies and the fields of argumentation of each political entity, and its justifications as a group living under colonial conditions. This article consists of three parts: part I tackles the conceptual framework of the dichotomy of violence and non-violence; part II explores the historiography of the modes of violence and non-violence; and part III traces the controversy within Palestinian society over the topic at stake from the early 1900s until the present.

Likewise it examines political and social issues, different modes of mobilization, and symbolic practices by Palestinian activists.

It is a full sociological phenomenon as Marcel Mauss puts it to support a European team or even two from a distance like Royal Madrid and Barcelona. The question then becomes How to read such a phenomenon, in Palestine as it is not a particular trend to one society. Read here is used as mode of justifying such a global trend that has the ability to gather supporters from countries across the globe from the football club itself. And also how to attempt to analysis the dynamics of such groups and see the symbolical dimensions they use to identify with these teams. The particularity of the Palestinian context adds is the fact that these supporters have here over others is that they live with a colonial context and are subjected to this condition daily. This particularity demands from any reader an accompanying analysis of the social dimension of such a phenomenon as well as taking into consideration the cultural and sociological changes it brings about, withers on the symbolical or on the ideological level. ; Du Maroc au Yémen, de l'Algérie à la Syrie, de la Tunisie au Liban, en passant par l'Irak, la Libye, l'Egypte, la Jordanie, la Palestine, l'Arabie saoudite et les Emirats arabes unis, ces spécialistes dressent avec sensibilité, humour ou inquiétude un portrait exceptionnel de cette génération dont on parle beaucoup, mais qu'on écoute trop rarement. Ce livre donne ainsi la parole à des jeunes hommes et femmes qui, héritiers de traditions plurielles, animés par des idées nouvelles et travaillés par divers mouvements culturels, inventent l'avenir de sociétés en plein bouleversement.

Le mouvement artistique rap et hip-hop palestinien est un support de revendications, conscientisation ou moralisation, informatif, pédagogique, parfois politique ou religieux. Il aspire à l'élaboration et la reconnaissance d'une identité plurielle et particulière. La surcharge de sens, caractéristique du travail symbolique, se situe aussi au niveau émotionnel. La communication sociale, en effet, n'est pas toujours purement instrumentale ni froidement fonctionnelle. Les symboles, socialement efficaces, ont pour caractéristique de mobiliser l'attention sur divers registres affectifs. « Il y a donc symbole là où se manifeste une capacité à provoquer chez les agents sociaux des projections émotionnelles, positives ou négatives, ou des mécanismes d'allégeance identitaire ». Elles paraissent essentielles à la promotion de la cohésion d'un groupe et pour la diffusion de ses valeurs et des éléments centraux de son idéologie. Le phénomène hip-hop est devenu incontournable dans le paysage musical et culturel contemporain palestinien. Le hip-hop n'est pas seulement un genre musical, il est aussi un art de vivre, une mode vestimentaire, une philosophie, une posture sociale. Les interviewés se voient comme créateurs de nouvelles formes d'expression musicale. Véritable culture de rue, le hip-hop a un langage, un état d'esprit, des signes de reconnaissance, une mémoire, un sentiment d'appartenance revendiquée ou attribuée.
