I argue that cinema and racialized discourses of gender, sexuality and ethno-nationalism play a key role in the denial of Palestinian belonging. I begin by arguing that ongoing Palestinian dispossession remains largely unrecognizable in the dominant North American and European imagination of Palestine in part due to what became a recognizable and inevitable narrative of Palestine as a Jewish national homeland. Revealing the extra-Zionist routes of early Jewish Agency propaganda films, for example, I detach them from reigning progress narratives in Israeli transnational film studies, and explore their implication in a broader visual culture that promoted exclusive Jewish national belonging in Historic Palestine.

  • Going Out, Not Coming Out: Queer Affects, Secluded Publics, and Palestinian Hip-Hop
    doi: https://doi.org/10.26262/gramma.v25i0.6592 Going Out, Not Coming Out: Queer Affects, Secluded Publics, and Palestinian Hip-Hop Alex Karaman University of Arizona, USA Abstract In an effort to a draw attention to queer, Palestinian cultural practices that resist homonationalism and colonialism, this paper begins as a conversation between the fields of Palestine studies and scholarship on sexuality and passing in order to identify the important relationship between, on the one hand, aesthetics and movement in public spaces and, on the other hand, Palestinian social life and identity formation. The conversation then shifts to grounded theorizations of two key elements of queer hip-hop: “going out” as a resistant, queer, and Palestinian practice intimately tied to identity, space, and place; and “secluded publics,” built environments that materialize queer affects and eroticism through dance. Keywords: Palestine studies, hip-hop, queer theory, affect studies, cultural geography, secluded publics esearch on U.S.-based hip-hop has systematically engaged in lyrical analysis as a key approach to understanding why people participate in hip-hop cultural practices, an R approach which has correctly identified tensions between hip-hop and feminist and LGBTQ politics. 1 Miles away from the productive spaces of U.S. hip-hop, Palestinian queer activist and scholar Haneen Maikey describes a different set of constraints on women’s and LGBTQ self-representation, namely how “the unique social, historical, and political situation of Palestinians—the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza and decades of discrimination against Palestinians in Israel—has created real obstacles for advancing respect for sexual and gender diversity in Palestinian society, which has not had the same opportunities to grow and evolve as many other societies have” (600-601).
