ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on denomination of co-researchers' through the alternative rhetorical voice and invocation of Bhabha's third space of enunciation. The third voice aims neither to dilute nor to artificially amplify the divergences and similarities of our opinions. In addition to reflecting on the tropes of cities and camps and focusing in particular on the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and camp-like spaces constituted by Palestinians. Refugees return to that innate place which we call a camp because it is there that the remnants of ourselves lie, and it is there that we believe in ourselves as refugees whose status is still pending. The chapter engages an emerging body of literature which explores the multi-dimensional connections between refugee camps and cities. As noted by one of the authors of this piece: Far from an official historiography of the Palestinian. The chapter therefore invites further conversations between differently situated individuals to explore the interconnectivities between diverse types of camps and forms.
