Present Interruptus: Sovereignty’s Reincarnation in the Golan Heights

Paloheimo Fellow

PhD Candidate, Department of Anthropology, Columbia University

This project explores the powerful and locally pervasive figure of the reincarnated subject: Druze men and women of the Golan Heights who recall their vivid past-life memories, but whose memories belong to histories that contradict and often trouble the present in the here and now.
