Memory and Forgetting in the Israeli–Palestinian Peace Process (1993–2001)

How is memory brought to or barred from the negotiating table? In this episode Henrik Syse and Kristoffer Liden from the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) are joined by Dr. Nadim Khoury from the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences (INN). Drawing on his childhood as a Palestinian growing up during the first intifada and his scholarship on how collective memory plays a role in peace negotiations, Dr. Khoury examines three different approaches to memory: prescriptive forgetting that avoids the past altogether, strategic forgetting that postpones dealing with it, and transitional justice that recommends addressing it head-on.
