أفق جديد في مدينة قديمة: أمين شنّار ومجلّة الأفق الجديد والتاريخ الفكريّ للقدس في ستّينات القرن العشرين

This article offers a window into the intellectual history of Jordanian-ruled Jerusalem during the 1960s by means of a deep study of al-Ufuq al-Jadid (New Horizon) – a Jerusalemite cultural and literary serial, which ran from 1961 to 1966 under the editorship of Palestinian poet Amin Shunnar (1933–2005). The bulk of al-Ufuq al-Jadid’s content took Palestine as a core concern and saw in it a creative intellectual impetus. This article parses the contents of al-Ufuq al-Jadid and the writings of its editor on the 1948 Nakba to evoke a picture of cultural life in Jerusalem on the eve of Israeli occupation.
