SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The troubled relationship between Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem is situated within shared yet contested places that both call 'home.' This multilayered conflict between neighbors in relation to their home is viewed as symptomatic of a 'cultural complex' (Singer & Kimbles, 2004) that calls us to explore and attend to experiences of 'homeplace'-a location carrying personal or collective layers of meaning of home-across intrapsychic, interpersonal, intercultural, and ecological domains. To this end, the researcher conducted a 2-month place-based reconciliation project in Jerusalem with eight female Muslim, Jewish, and Christian participants, each of whom shared a meaningful homeplace with the others. Drawing from the fields of depth psychology, humanistic and cultural geography, and liberation psychology, this study explores the benefits and limitations of a reconciliation project that studied lived experiences of homeplace to transform zones of conflict into zones of encounter.
