ABSTRACT

In December 1969, the Jordanian government issued an unusually large set of postage stamps, containing 60 stamps. The issue commemorated two closely related experiences, which together form one of the most politically sensitive topics in Jordanian history: the memory of the defeat in the 1948 war against Israel and the problem of Palestinian refugees, hundreds of thousands of whom fled to Jordan during the war, following which the term Nakba (e.g. catastrophe) was coined, denoting the disaster that the Palestinians experienced. Commemorative postage stamps are a multi-faceted means and vehicles through which governments may utilize the state-owned this mass media for propaganda purposes. This study attempts to analyse the stamps, within the context of the historic period of the issue, and their articulation within the complex trilateral relations between Jordan, the Palestinians and Israel.

摘要

1969年12月，约旦政府发行了一套异常庞大的邮票，共有60枚邮票。这期杂志纪念了两个密切相关的经历，它们共同构成了约旦历史上最具政治敏感性的话题之一：1948 年对以色列战争失败的记忆和巴勒斯坦难民问题，数十万人在战争之后，创造了 Nakba（如灾难）一词，表示巴勒斯坦人所经历的灾难。纪念邮票是一种多方面的手段和载体，政府可以通过它利用国有大众媒体进行宣传。本研究试图在发行的历史时期的背景下分析邮票，
