SUMMARY:Wisam Abughosh Chaleila\, “Manifestations of Jerusalem in Palestinian and Israeli Poetry”
DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the various depictions of Jerusalem through different poetic traditions and historical periods\, exploring how poets from diverse backgrounds have captured the city’s spiritual significance and political symbolism. Focusing primarily on Mahmoud Darwish’s “In Jerusalem” (2005) and Yehuda Amichai’s “Jerusalem\,” (1992)\, the talk examines how each poet\, from different cultural and historical contexts\, captures the city’s complex combination of spiritual significance and political symbolism. Amichai uses everyday imagery\, like laundry and flags\, to portray Jerusalem as a place of human interaction and shared struggles\, emphasizing the tangible experience of coexistence and division. In contrast\, Darwish’s portrayal is mystical and transcendent\, expressing a sense of spiritual transformation and longing within the city’s sacred space. Through these perspectives\, the talk highlights how Jerusalem is not only a physical location but also a powerful symbol shaped by human dreams and conflicts\, embodying current questions about history and identity. \nThis event is co-presented by Fordham’s Arabic Language Program and the Center for Jewish Studies.  Lunch will be served.
