There are people I adore, like Chomsky and others on the left, who give the feeling that if you just tell people the truth, stop corporate manipulation, etc, then people will choose the right thing.

    RCL — Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens e Linguagens Comunicação de — Revista RCL Ghosts beneath the surface: Remnants and revenants of Palestine in the Cinema of the Interior Fantasmas sob a superfície: Os restos e espectros da Palestina no Cinema do Interior and Languages Communication of Journal ROBERT GEORGE WHITE Independent Scholar [email protected] N.53 (2020) ISSN 2183-7198 N.53 (2020) ISSN — Abstract In a 2003 interview with the Journal of Palestine Studies, the director Elia Sulieman evoked the spectre of the revenant (which appears by coming back) when explaining the pres- ence of Palestinians within Israel in terms of Israel’s being haunted by the spectre of the ‘becoming-Palestinian’ of the Israeli-Arab. This is both an allusion to a historical le- gal condition of present absence (the Knesset’s 1950 Law of Absentee Property), but also articulates—this article claims—an emerging hauntology/ontology of the cine- matic image of the Palestinian in Israel.This article argues that the contemporary cinema of Palestinians in Israel is essentially a cinema of ghosts, where temporal disjoint- edness and spatial displacement constantly disturb the project of national identity formation; from the haunting of Jaffa in the work of Kamal Aljafari, where Palestinian ‘ghosts’ are re-inscribed onto the work of Israeli director Menahem Golan, to the ghostly lacuna between Arab and Jew which haunts Amos Gitai’s Ana Arabia (2013). Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s notion of ‘the spectral’, alongside a critical analysis of what Edward Said termed al-dakhil (the interior), the article examines Palestinian interiors as ROBERT GEORGE WHITE 73 RCL — Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens e Linguagens Comunicação de — Revista RCL haunted sites.

  • The Palestinians, As Is Well Known, Are Making Use of the Ancient Jewish Strategy of Exile and Have Removed Themselves from History
    Imagining exodus for Israel-Palestine: reading the secular and the sacred, Diaspora and homeland, in Edward Said and David Grossman Anna Hartnell, University of London, Goldsmiths College The Palestinians, as is well known, are making use of the ancient Jewish strategy of exile and have removed themselves from history. They close their eyes against harsh reality, and stubbornly clamping down their eyelids, they fabricate their promised land. (David Grossman) There is no Israel without the conquest of Canaan and the expulsion or inferior status of the Canaanites – then as now. (Edward Said) The one who merely flees is not yet free; in fleeing he is still conditioned by that from which he flees. (Hegel) Introduction The Exodus narrative functions allegorically in the service of all participants in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute. This paper will concentrate specifically on Israeli renderings of this ancient story. The creation of the state of Israel suspends conceptions of Jewish identity between the tropes of Diaspora and homeland, secular Zionism and religious messianism, and the question of Exodus emerges as a central paradigm through which to examine religion as a major facet in what is often considered to be a predominantly secular Israeli identity. Itself caught in the tension between enacting a gesture of belonging and one of escape, the Exodus narrative calls into question the possibility of its central meaning: a going out, a new departure: exodus. By conjuring the dream of the ‘Promised Land’, this biblical myth weaves together national and religious sensibilities and projects them onto the same site. In so doing it links nationhood to an economy of redemption and thus seemingly problematizes those narratives that locate Zionism within a framework of so-called ‘Exodus politics’.

  • There Is Nothing New About Art on the Web. There Must Be More Self Proclaimed Artists out There on the Net Than There Ever Have
    With the advent of the World Wide Web, new art forms are being created where the vehicle bringing the art form to the visitor, via a small and intimate screen can be accessed equally well from within and without the museum walls and are in fact accessed from a remote computer far beyond the fourth wall. In 1996. Udi Aloni exhibited Re-U-Man" at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. "Re-U-Man", an interactive digital presentation that had been conceptually devised for a web-site: http://www.re-u-rnan.com With virtual exhibitions on-line, original digital art flowing into ourpersonal computers at the click of a mouse and now entire installations becoming available beyond the fourth wall, why does the visitor need to even come into the real museum? These and similar questions are already being faced by curators who have the responsibility of presenting similar works to the museum public, but what is being challenged here is not the validity of these new art forms or the vehicle imperative to their presentation but the gallery space of the museum, as defined by the curator - real or virtual. WORDS Re-U-Man; Kabbalah; Udi-Aloni; Zohar; Post-Modemism; Sphirot; Fourth Wall; Tree-of-Life There is nothing new about art on the Web.

  • Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production
    Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree Of Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Nili Belkind All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Music in Conflict: Palestine, Israel and the Politics of Aesthetic Production Nili Belkind This is an ethnographic study of the fraught and complex cultural politics of music making in Palestine-Israel in the context of the post-Oslo era. I examine the politics of sound and the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, and also, contextualize political action. Ethical and aesthetic positions that shape contemporary artistic production in Israel-Palestine are informed by profound imbalances of power between the State (Israel), the stateless (Palestinians of the occupied Palestinian territories), the complex positioning of Israel’s Palestinian minority, and contingent exposure to ongoing political violence. Cultural production in this period is also profoundly informed by highly polarized sentiments and retreat from the expressive modes of relationality that accompanied the 1990s peace process, strategic shifts in the Palestinian struggle for liberation, which is increasingly taking place on the world stage through diplomatic and cultural work, and the conceptual life and currency Palestine has gained as an entity deserving of statehood around the world. The ethnography attends to how the conflict is lived and expressed, musically and discursively, in both Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) of the West Bank, encompassing different sites, institutions and individuals. I examine the ways in which music making and attached discourses reflect and constitute identities, with the understanding that musical culture is a sphere in which power and hegemony are asserted, negotiated and resisted through shifting relations between and within different groups.

CONCLUSION 56 1 Abstract The Palestinian citizens of Israel are an indigenous minority living within Israeli territory. Succeeding the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 and the resulting immigration of Jews, the Palestinians living within the newly set borders of Israel were reduced to a minority. While there are various fiction and documentary films produced on the general issue of the Israeli-Palestinian contention, the Palestinian minority and their ongoing struggles to coexist within a hegemonic host state are often neglected.

  • Apartheid Quotes4
    Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Who Have Spoken Out Against Israeli Apartheid. Jimmy Carter (2002 Nobel Peace Prize) “When Israel does occupy this territory deep within the West Bank, and connects the 200-or-so settlements with each other, with a road, and then prohibits the Palestinians from using that road, or in many cases even crossing the road, this perpetrates even worse instances of apartness, or apartheid, than we witnessed even in South Africa." 1 Desmond Tutu said it: (1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner) “If you change the names, the description of what is happening in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank would be a description of what is happening in South Africa” 1989 2 Nelson Mandela said it : (1993 Nobel Peace prize) “…injustice and gross human rights violations were being perpetrated in Palestine. In the same period the UN took a strong stand against apartheid; …which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” 3 Mairead Corrigan-Maguire, Nobel Peace Prize Winner 1976 "I have just come back with my colleague Ann Patterson from Palestine. We joined with the nonviolent resistance movement of the Palestinian people and the Israeli activists in order to do a nonviolent protest to ask that international law be upheld and that the apartheid wall [be removed]. And let’s face it; what the Israelis are doing in Palestine is building an apartheid system. And the world remains silent. Did the world remain silent when there was apartheid built in South Africa? No it did not." 4 Institutions speak out against Apartheid Israeli Human Rights Group B’Tselem concluded: ”Israel has created in the Occupied Territories a regime of separation based on discrimination, applying two separate systems of law in the same area and basing the rights of individuals on their nationality.
