Resumen de Fabricante luoghi santi: La sacralizzazioni degli spazi ebraici a Gerusalemme
Arturo Marzano, Maria Chiara Rioli
This article intends to historicize the ongoing disputes around the Western Vall in order to investigate the relationships between the sacred and power with reference to the "Kotel" and, more generally, to the Jewish hly places located in Jerusalem, particularly within the Old City and its immediate surroundings. More specifically, the aim of this essay is to retrace and analyse the actions, strategies and practices through which the israeli government - and, before 1948, the Palestinian Jewish leadership - contributed to the elaboration of a discourse on the sacredness and Jewishness of Jersusalem, in order to justify and legitimise its political ambitions over the Hole City during the 20th century and the occupation of the Old City and East Jerusalem after 1967.
