Cette recherche naît d'une expérience personnelle dans les camps des refuges palestiniens à Damas. Il y a deux ans, durant mon séjour à Damas j'ai dédié des longs moments à des activités de volontariat dans le camp de Yarmouk, dans le sud de Damas, et j'eu aussi la chance de connaître l'écrivaine palestinienne Nahmat Khalid, qui vit dans ce camp.
J'ai voulu donc faire un petit voyage dans la littérature palestinienne dans les camps des refuges là où la voix littéraire s'élève encore très fort malgré tout. J'ai dédié part du travail aussi à la littérature palestiniennes qui naît dans le territoires occupés, où la réalité quotidienne se confronte toujours avec la figure de l'occupant.

This research is born from a personal experience into the Palestinian refugees camps in Damask. Two years ago, during my stay in Damask I took up long time in volunteering activities into the refugees' camp of Yarmouk, at the south of Damask, and I also was lucky to know the Palestinian novelist Nahmat Khalid, who lives in this camp. I wanted to make an overview through the Palestinian literature in the refugee camps where the literary voice is still strong despite the whole situation. This work is also partly dedicated at the Palestinian literature which borns inside the occupied territories, a place where daily reality is always faced up to the occupant's figure.

Abstract

Shebaa Farms, a meeting point among Lebanon, Syria and Israel, is a field where the different protagonists collide, each trying to claim possession of the territory. Apart from its strategic importance and its rich spring waters, a clash among identities comes into play, a conflict that develops on different levels: local, national, regional and international. Due to the death of the former Prime Minister Hariri, the "Velvet Revolution", and the Syrian withdrawal from the Lebanese state, new backdrops will open. All of these imply, Hezbollah's "Resistance", who are always being asked for complete disarmament by the international community, and the role that it will play in the new Lebanese state after the elections this June. Presented next, is an analysis on possible implications in the dispute over the territory, and their relations with the Lebanese state and its national identity.
