Abstract

ABSTRACT This study analyzes photographs found in historical archives of Bedouin children in Palestine from over a hundred years ago. The Bedouin children were photographed in their natural environment by foreign European photographers touring the Holy Land. Young children were photographed held by their mothers, at work, on a path, or near the tent. The research unravels the context in which the pictures were constructed, documented, and archived. The study explores how colonialist photography in the region generated tropes of presentation of Bedouin children and examines its effects on forms of representation of their childhood of the time. The Bedouin women’s inferior status in society and its impact on the documentation of women and children are also examined. The study highlights notions of other children dressing up as ‘Hebrew Bedouins’ for studio portraiture as part of an orientalist cliché.

“带骆驼的贝都因男孩”:巴勒斯坦贝都因儿童档案照片分析
本研究分析了在巴勒斯坦贝都因儿童的历史档案中发现的100多年前的照片。贝都因儿童在自然环境中被游览圣地的外国欧洲摄影师拍了下来。年幼的孩子被母亲抱着拍照,有的在工作,有的在小路上,有的在帐篷附近。这项研究揭示了这些照片被构造、记录和存档的背景。该研究探讨了该地区的殖民摄影如何产生贝都因儿童的表现手法,并考察了其对当时贝都因儿童的表现形式的影响。还审查了贝都因妇女在社会中的低微地位及其对妇女和儿童档案的影响。这项研究强调了其他孩子在工作室肖像中打扮成“希伯来贝都因人”的观念,这是东方主义陈词滥调的一部分。
