SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This dissertation employs contemporary theories of globalization and communication in order to analyze the development of Western-supported Palestinian media in the years following the Oslo Accords of 1993. Using the Bethlehem-based Ma'an Network of television stations as a primary case study, the work chronicles the emergence of small independent stations in the years following Oslo, showing how both political and commercial imperatives contributed to an increasing dependence on Western governmental funding. Through extensive field research as well as documentary and textual analysis, the dissertation details this history, placing particular emphasis on the means by which Palestinian media workers have strived to create original productions despite the pressures of military occupation, statelessness and dependence on foreign capital. Drawing on a variety of scholarly disciplines, the project details the ways in which global forces restrain certain forms of Palestinian expression while enabling others, considering the implications of this analysis on established notions of globalization, modernization and Western hegemony. In addition to detailing the political and economic factors that impact these media productions, the work also considers the role that new media technologies and Western assumptions regarding gender serve to condition media made in the Palestinian territories with Western funding. Though careful to stress the ways in which global and local power hierarchies remain constantly in effect in the world of Palestinian media production, the dissertation ultimately argues that even in cases of apparent external domination, individual media producers remain capable of creating unique, significant works within certain constraints. Although this brand of authentic, yet limited, media expression by no means guarantees the success of larger Palestinian political projects, it nonetheless shows that a strict political economic analysis will fail to appreciate the complex interaction of Western financial dominance and Palestinian creative agency in the realm of electronic media.
