The autobiographies written by Palestinian women are historical and literary documents that have the potential to raise questions about how we remember the Nakba and about how lives are lived during wartime.  They offer a different way to write imaginatively about war in general, and its history, as well as about the Israel-Palestinian conflict in particular.  The lecture will discuss on "Capuccino in Ramallah: Notes from the Curfew," (Babel, 2004; published in English as "Sharon and My Mother-in-Law: Ramallah Diaries," Anchor, 2006) by Suad Amiry, and other autobiographical works.
 
The lecture will be in Hebrew.
