Palestine, Israel, Nakba, Memory, Digital HumanitiesAbstract
This article analyses some of the main contributions of digital history in the preservation of historical memory and the construction of alternative narratives that dispute traditional discourses on the question of Palestine. This research is informed by digital history and the digital humanities within the context of the Nakba, as well as Israeli policies of memoricide against the Palestinian population. The article covers three significant digital projects that seek to recover the memory of the Nakba and cultivate Palestinian narratives around this phenomenon, with remarkable success.
