“…The issue of "modernisation" also relates to the linguistic, educational and religious policies in Palestine, that according to Karène Sanchez Summerer still require more thorough exploration. 17 While the British administration was imposing English and Hebrew as official languages besides the predominant Arabic, European mission schools negotiated national interests and religious universality, the latter being especially emphasised by the Roman Catholic Holy See. Applying diverse strategies, these schools continued to teach French, Italian and Russian respectively, and, depending on the religious order, taught mostly or partly in Arabic, seen as the most effective language in terms of catechism and proselytism.…”

In her conclusion, van Kessel reflects on the nature of cultural diplomacy, its success and failures in Palestine. She considers the different actors’ approaches to cultural diplomacy and the impact of those approaches on processes of identity formation. She also considers the shifting frameworks on cultural diplomacy arguing that both scholars and practitioners have blurred the lines between more orthodox readings that cultural relations were produced by private initiatives, while cultural diplomacy was the domain of government initiatives. She then compares the cases presented in this volume within a broader range of Mediterranean geography to consider the ways in which some of the actors behaved in other contexts. She concludes that the nature of cultural diplomacy in Palestine created overlaps, and sometimes conflicts, between confessional allegiances and nationalism for Christian Palestinians.

“…Bien que théâtre d'une véritable « guerre des langues » (Calvet 1987), Jérusalem et, plus généralement, la Palestine ottomane et mandataire sont rarement étudiées par le prisme des langues, parents pauvres des études sur la présence des Européen • nes et les approches ont davantage privilégié les histoires nationales des écoles européennes. Pourtant, la diffusion, l'expansion ou la régression d'une langue ne peut se comprendre sans l'utilisation d'une langue de substitution et l'enchainement de réactions qui s'ensuit.Le paysage multilingue de Palestine est irrémédiablement lié à plusieurs communautés chrétiennes et aux communautés juives(Sanchez Summerer 2016 ;Halperin 2015). Plusieurs raisons expliquent ce phénomène.…”

In this introductory chapter to Between Connection and Contention, Sanchez Summerer and Zananiri lay out the genesis of the project, an overview of issues related to the study of cultural diplomacy in relation to Christian Palestinians during the British Mandate and review various theoretical approaches to field. They establish the conceptual grounding of this interdisciplinary volume, which engages with methodologies from history, cultural studies and international relations. They layout how this volume approaches and reconceptualises the agency of the different actors involved as central to both the production of culture and its operationalisation through cultural diplomacy.
