Oddity Nr. 5 – Dancing with Tears in our Eyes

A talk with our guest researcher Merav Kaddar

In this episode, we talk with our current guest researcher Merav
Kaddar about nightlife, alternative culture and urbanism in
Israel and Palestine. We will focus on the story of the Anna
Loulou bar in Jaffa, Israel and discuss if there, perhaps, a new
form of hipsterism was born: the political hipsterism.


This episode is based on a paper co-authored by Merav Kaddar
together with Prof. Daniel Monterescu and can be found here:
Dancing with tears in our eyes: political hipsters, alternative
culture and binational urbanism in Israel/Palestine


The brief musical excerpt in our sound vignette comes from a set
recorded at the Anna Loulou bar during the period we talk about
in the episode. You can find this set here.
