Social Alienation and Its Repercussions on the Palestinian Social System: An Analytical Reading of the Dimension of the Palestinian Identity

The study aims to identify social alienation and its repercussions on the Palestinian social system: an analytical reading of the dimension of the Palestinian identity. This study is organized in three axes, in addition to the introduction, results and references. The first axis deals with the concept of identity—by examining the theoretical text of this concept—and reviews the state of conflict between the Palestinian self and the Israeli other in establishing identity in the Bedouin village of Al-Araqib. The second axis addresses the issue of identity in the Palestinian collective consciousness, and the third axis displays the relationship between memory and the collective consciousness in the Palestinian social system.
