Identity and Resistance: The Constructivist Transformation of Palestine

Abstract

This study examines the change and transformation of Palestinian identity from a constructivist theoretical perspective, starting from the pre-1948 period and covering the entire process up to the present day. The main argument of the study is that Palestinian identity is not a fixed, static, or inherent phenomenon; rather, it is continuously constructed and shaped over time under the influence of historical, social, and political dynamics. In this regard, a comprehensive literature review is conducted to explore the transformation of Palestinian identity in depth and to provide historical coherence with constructivist theory. The unique and valuable contribution of the study is its analysis of the evolution of Palestinian identity, examining it within the contexts of Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and refugees, highlighting how this identity has developed from pre-1948 to the present and the role of socio-political dynamics in this evolution. Furthermore, the study is significant for its in-depth analysis of how Palestinians living in different geographical areas have engaged with this process and how they have shaped the concept of "Palestinianness." By approaching the construction of Palestinian identity not just as a historical phenomenon but also as a dynamic process shaped by social, cultural, and political factors, the study emphasizes not only the ethnic and religious characteristics of identity but also its aspects related to resistance and national belonging. Analyzing Palestinian identity across five distinct periods and within the defining characteristics of each era, the study offers an in-depth examination of its constructivist nature. In doing so, it aims to provide a substantial contribution to the existing literature and serve as a valuable resource for researchers interested in the subject.
