ERPAL - Intersecting Ethno-Religious Dynamics in Late Ottoman Palestine: Voices from the Contemporary Press
Dynamika spletitých národnostných a konfesionálnych vzťahov v neskoroosmanskej Palestíne: Hlasy z dobovej tlače

| Annotation: | The Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains as one of the world's most enduring confrontations, with roots that extend back over a century. At the close of the Ottoman era, the three Palestinian sanjaqs were home to multiple ethnic and religious communities. This project aims to shed light on their coexistence during this pivotal moment in the history of this region, which holds significant religious and political importance. Our research heavily relies on contemporary Palestinian newspapers, including publications such as al-Quds, Filastin, al-Karmil, al-Munadi, Herut, and ha-Ahdut. We will complement these sources with relevant articles from Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian, and Istanbul press, as well as diaries, memoirs, consular reports, and other archival documents. However, the extensive volume of material cannot be efficiently managed through conventional methods, necessitating innovative approaches in the field of digital humanities, including the application of OCR technology for Arabic and Hebrew scripts. Regarding methodology, we will critically assess and analyze newspaper articles and discussions using various methods, primarily discourse analysis and the social identity approach. Additionally, in some instances—particularly when dealing with pivotal texts related to contentious issues—an in-depth analysis will require close reading. We intend to publish the outcomes of our research in academic papers. Potential areas of investigation include an analysis of the conflict within the Patriarchate of Jerusalem, local responses to Zionist settlement, and the allocation of positions within state offices based on ethnic, religious, regional, and familial affiliations. The primary outcome of our project will be a scholarly monograph, written in English and published by an international publishing house. This monograph will provide a comprehensive analysis of ethno-religious coexistence in Palestine during the Second Ottoman Constitutional Period. |

Palestinian Arabic Newspaper al-Quds (1908-1914): Complex Analysis of the Hitherto Unexplored Periodical
Palestínske arabské noviny al-Quds (1908 – 1914): Komplexná analýza dosiaľ nepreskúmaného periodika

| Project leader: | Mgr. Beška Emanuel PhD. |
| Annotation: | Newspapers are among the main primary sources used to explore history of late Ottoman Palestine in the period following the Young Turk Revolution of 1908. However, researchers face a significant obstacle as most of the Arabic periodicals are not extant. Therefore, the fact that almost a complete set of issues of the newspaper al-Quds (Jerusalem in Arabic, published 1908–1914) was made available to researchers in digitized form in 2017 represents a huge opportunity for historians of Ottoman Palestine. The submitted project proposal focuses on this untapped source of immense importance. Its aim is a comprehensive examination and evaluation of the content of the periodical as well as the establishment of an index of all articles published in the newspaper. A further goal is a contextual analysis of the main topics treated in al-Quds during this crucial period. Moreover, it also involves digital humanities with the application of the OCR method on the digitized copies of al-Quds. |
