1. Conference Overview

This conference aims to theorise what the late Edward Said called ‘the question of Palestine ' in the context of globalisation. An inter-disciplinary group of Palestinian, Israeli, British, American and Irish scholars will explore and debate the ways in which the Palestinian experience of being governed under a ‘state of exception' may be theorised as paradigmatic for new forms of global governance. The state of exception is characterised, among other things, by the law being suspended in the ‘military order' issued by the executive arm of government, often bypassing the legislature.
