Summary
The Palestinian, Jewish Israeli and Arab/Palestinian Israeli audiences for the Sesame Street and Sesame Stories intervention are each situated around the Israeli-Palestinian ethno-political conflict from a different vantage point. From a world systems perspective, Palestinians constitute a stateless nation, Jewish Israelis, a state-bearing nation and Arab/Palestinian Israelis, a state minority (represented in Table II.1). In this study, I posit that the audiences, as well as the series’ producers, are situated within these categories of practice, which outline the relationship to the global interstate system with which “members” of each “group” are currently in dialogue. Having looked at this PeaceComm intervention as a text, I now turn to my reception analysis of it. By analyzing the campaign categorically, I hope to provide a template for the comparative global design of future PeaceComm assessment and evaluation research.
