| dc.description.abstract | Abstract
Multimedia Art Diary: A Palestine Claim, delves into the intricacies of the multi-layered Palestinian trauma. Situated in the Freudian psychoanalytic framework, drawing from intellectuals' insights like Cathy Caruth, Shoshana Filman, Dori Laub and others, the study sheds light on the inherent limitations of language in capturing the profound colonial oppression that stifles the voices of the colonised. Employing the narrative tone of auto-ethnography and art-based research principles, the project serves as a crucial tool in expressing the intricate nature of the ongoing collective trauma in Palestine.
The methodology embraces a diverse array of recording techniques, encompassing written and visual journals, voice recordings, and the documentation of social media content through screenshots and video downloads. These instruments play a pivotal role in articulating the depth and breadth of the observed trauma.
Keywords: multi-layered trauma, art diary, multimedia, colonial oppression, dehumanisation, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, Israeli occupation, and Palestine. | |
