Creative Economy / Palestinian Israelis
Used my MA-thesis to look at the development-potential in creative economy for Palestinian Israelis. Some 20% of Israel*s citizens are Palestinians and lack behind the majority-society in social and economic terms. The potential seems far from exhausted, especially when it comes to the possible boost in selfesteem, that could help the minority towards equality. What would be nteresting to find out is if a large mnority can act as a bridgebuilder - can you say so? - as the Arab markets ought always to be interesting for Israel. Furthermore I still haven't got a clue as of how you as a minority really direct your cultural production: towards the nation-state or towards the ethnic nation, so to speak? I belive that to be quite essential, as cultural expressions, products, often come with words and language, and in many countries a wealth of languages are spoken by different minorities.
I like this posting!
