本文探讨了巴勒斯坦人的经验，属于一个地方，以及如何这些经验及其相关的想法和符号，通过他们的代表性，性能，并随着时间的推移操纵通知社会组织的方式。特别是，我探讨了从世纪初到现在，巴勒斯坦人与犹太复国主义项目在巴勒斯坦的遭遇的象征和象征性代表的表达。我展示了主导符号如何根据政治现实的变化和主导机构的变化而变化。巴勒斯坦人通过这些不同的象征来代表国家和人民，最突出的方面是表达他们在巴勒斯坦土地上的根。因此，巴勒斯坦民族性的“叙述”是一种与土地有关的社区和民族性的叙述，是一种巴勒斯坦文化想象的形成和改革的叙述，面对巴勒斯坦犹太民族主义项目的重新配置。
This article examines the ways in which Palestinians experience belonging to a place and how these experiences and their related ideas and symbols inform social organization through their representation, performance, and manipulations over time. In particular, I explore the articulation of symbols and symbolic representations in relation to the Palestinian encounter with the Zionist project in Palestine starting from the early twentieth century to the present. I demonstrate how dominant symbols change according to changes in the political realities and shifts in the dominant agencies. The most prominent aspect of Palestinians' representations of nationhood and peoplehood through these different symbols across time has been the articulation of their rootedness in the land of Palestine. Hence, the Palestinian "narration" of nationness has been a narration of communities and peoplehood in relation to the land, a narration of formation and reformation in the Palestinian cultural imaginary in the face of its reconfiguration by the Jewish nationalist project in Palestine.
