RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

---

 

I spent 10 years (1985-1995) studying and classifying old Palestinian newspapers published before 1948. This resulted in the publication of a series of bibliographies and critical studies on the most important newspapers: Falastin, Mirat as-Sharq, al-Carmel and al-Akhbar (6 Volumes), and a critical study entitled "The Critical and Literary Trends in the Palestinian Literature" based on Falastin Newspaper. For this purpose, I endeavored to build a rare and valuable collection of microfilms of 14 old Palestinian newspapers housed in different libraries in Europe, North America and the Arab World. See Appendix A

During the last 24 years at Bethlehem University, I have published many critical studies in Arabic, English and French, in local and international journals, on Modern Palestinian Literature and Comparative Literature. See Appendices A, B, C & D

As a professor of translation at Bethlehem University since 1995, I have published many articles on the Theory of Translation in international journals, as well as a textbook entitled An Introduction to Translation. I also participated in many conferences on Translation.and translated important literary works and critical studies from English and French into Arabic and vice versa. See Appendices A, B, C, D and F.

I was invited to lecture in many universities in France, Belgium, Italy, England, Sweden, Germany, USA, Jordan, Tunis, Morocco, and Yemen. Moreover, I was invited on a regular basis (1995-2000) by the “Ecole Doctorale des Sciences ةconomiques and Le Centre d'Etudes des Relations Internationales" at the Univeristy of Reims, in France, to lecture on different aspects of the Palestinian Culture. I was also invited to the most prestigious Institution of Higher Education in France “College de France” to give a series of lectures on Modern Palestinian Literature and was awarded the prestigious French Award "Medallion Francois 1er". See Appendix E

In the last few years and on the occasion of the new millennium, I have written extensively on Bethlehem and Cultural Tourism: - A Guide to Bethlehem and its Surroundings which was translated into German, Spanich, French and Italian. -Bethlehem 2000: Twenty Centuries of History; a catalogue in Arabic, French and English for a photographic exhibition on Bethlehem.-A book entitled Cultural Tourism in Palestine (1999). -Tourism, Cultural and Development, the Case of Palestine (1995), a study in English for UNESCO. - I was a major contributor in the preparation of an illustrated book The Nativity in Bethlehem & Umbria. - I also prepared a Visitors' Guide to the Ministry of Tourism and A Tourist Guide to Palestine which will be published in the near future. See Appendices A, B, C, & D
