What are the means for/how can we establish alternative voices in parallel, or against, hegemonic propagandist discourse?
For* Israeli Apartheid Week 2015*, Columbia SJP is happy to announce our panel with Alex Kane, Hanine Hassan, Rania Khalek, and Joe Catrone moderated by Hamid Dabashi. This panel will discuss US media coverage of Palestine with an eye on 2014's Operation Protective Edge, exploring the connections with coverage of recent attacks on the Muslim American community and the domestic repression in Ferguson. The massive media explosion surrounding the attacks on the racist satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo is only one recent case study in how media can block or facilitate the growth of solidarity and mass mobilization. The panel will historicize American media coverage of the Middle East, and more specifically Palestine, by foregrounding the political economy of the media establishment in the US. Finally, the panel will touch upon the significance and impact of social media.
We hope you can join us tonight at 8pm in Hamilton Hall, room 303 for what is sure to be a wonderful event! Check the facebook for more info! <http://calsjp.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3013f526a6c37903daba5aac7&id=b3d6c08507&e=30b6408858>
