DESCRIPTION:RGTGM lecture by Fredrik Meiton 'Electricity and the History of
  Mandate Palestine' \n\n \n\n \n\nPolitical power and electrical power hav
 e something in common. They must both move through physical materials whos
 e properties govern their flow. At the dawn of the Arab-Israeli conflict\,
  both kinds of power were circulated through the electric grid that was bu
 ilt by the Zionist engineer Pinhas Rutenberg in the period of British rule
  from 1917 to 1948. This talk charts a story of rapid and uneven developme
 nt that was greatly influenced by the electric grid and set the stage for 
 the conflict between Arabs and Jews. The grid shaped relations between the
  Zionists\, Palestinians\, and British rulers and anticipated the outcome\
 , in 1948\, of Jewish statehood and Palestinian statelessness\, by imposin
 g a logic that has continued to shape the area and the conflict until toda
 y.\n
