Building the Narrative of Being

In this paper I will explore the role of academia, especially sociology, building and writing the narrative of people living a genocidal war. This will focus on few initiatives conducted during the war, but mostly will look into what it means to collect a narrative of genocide under settler colonialism. Writing people narrative has always been essential for building the memory and healing of communities living wars and genocide. It has been seen as part of the healing process. As the Palestinian society is facing a placiocide and a sociocide, the narrative provided will try to reshape the connection to a place, culture, and the people living it.
