Abstract

The traditional Palestinian Arab house appears to be an extensively and well studied subject. Nineteenthand early-twentieth-century travelers and observers have left many descriptions of indigenous Palestinian dwellings and of domestic life in Palestine, and a short monograph specifically dedicated to the Palestinian village house appeared as early as 1912.1 During the period of British rule (1917-48), two studies were published that are still cited as the standard sources on the subject: Taufik Canaan's The Palestinian Arab House: Its Architecture and Folklore (1932-33) and the volume dedicated to "the House" in GustafDalman's seven-tome compendium, Arbeit und Sitte in Paliistina ( 1939). 2 Scholars have since produced a considerable body of work relating to the geography, history, and architecture of Palestinian settlements. 3 The fact that the British Museum shop now offers visitors an illustrated booklet entitled the Palestinian Village Home suggests it has become a "classic" of vernacular architecture.4 A review of this relatively abundant material reveals, however, that the treatment so far given to the subject of traditional Palestinian domestic architecture deserves some criticism. One problematic aspect of nineteenthand early-twentieth-century descriptive literature is its predominantly biblical-archaeological inspiration: many authors regarded the landscapes of Palestine as illustrations for the Scriptures, and their texts are frustratingly burdened with biblical quotations. Behind this attitude lay the assumption, often taken for granted, that traditional life in Palestine had remained unchanged for millennia. This bias affected our two standard authorities, Canaan and Dalman, as well. Canaan writes:

巴勒斯坦阿拉伯房屋与伊斯兰“原始小屋”
传统的巴勒斯坦阿拉伯房屋似乎是一个广泛和深入研究的主题。19世纪和20世纪早期的旅行者和观察者留下了许多关于巴勒斯坦土著住宅和巴勒斯坦家庭生活的描述,早在1921年就出现了一本专门介绍巴勒斯坦村庄房屋的短篇专著。在英国统治期间(1917-48),出版了两份研究报告,至今仍被引用为该主题的标准来源:Taufik Canaan的巴勒斯坦阿拉伯房屋:它的建筑和民俗(1932-33)和古斯塔夫·达尔曼的七大部头汇编《巴勒斯坦的艺术和遗址》(1939)中专门介绍“房子”的那一卷。此后,学者们撰写了大量关于巴勒斯坦定居点的地理、历史和建筑的著作。大英博物馆商店现在向游客提供一本题为《巴勒斯坦村庄之家》的图文小册子,这一事实表明,它已成为当地建筑的“经典”然而,对这些相对丰富的材料的回顾表明,迄今为止对传统巴勒斯坦家庭建筑主题的处理值得一些批评。19世纪和20世纪早期的描写文学有一个问题,那就是其主要的圣经考古学灵感:许多作者把巴勒斯坦的风景当作圣经的插图,他们的文本中充满了令人沮丧的圣经引文。在这种态度的背后是一种常常被视为理所当然的假设,即巴勒斯坦的传统生活几千年来一直没有改变。这种偏见也影响了我们的两个标准权威,即Canaan和Dalman。迦南写道:
