Palestine studies or Palestinian Studies is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the research and study of the civilization, history, literature, art and culture of Palestinian people. This field is a part of the wider field of Oriental studies.
Palestine studies is distinct from Arab studies, which is the study of Arabic culture, the Arabic language and literature specifically. This field includes anthropology, postcolonial studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and English and comparative literature.
Background
The field of Palestine studies has evolved significantly since its inception. Prior to the late 1980s, the study of Palestine was approached through Western social theories that emphasized the mission of European settlers and colonists to guide the natives to modernity.
Orientalism has had a significant impact on the perception of Palestine and its people in the Western world. Edward Said's work on Orientalism highlighted the negative attitudes and stereotypes that Western writers and orientalists held towards the East, including Palestine. The rise of biblical archaeology in 19th century, driven by European powers competing for control of Palestine, led to extensive archaeological exploration and the domination of biblical studies. The establishment of the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1865 and the subsequent excavation of major sites during the golden age of biblical archaeology in the 1920s further shaped the disciplines of archaeology and biblical studies.
in recent years, there has been a shift in the study of Israel, the Arab countries, and ethnic relations in Palestine-Israel. there has been a move towards social and cultural history in the study of Late Ottoman and Mandate-era Palestine, exploring issues of gender, class, race, and empire.
