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).

  • Is Queer Secular? Netalie Braun's Gevald Thea Gold
    Is Queer Secular? Netalie Braun's Gevald Thea Gold GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, Volume 16, Number 4, 2010, pp. 623-634 (Review) Published by Duke University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/glq/summary/v016/16.4.gold.html Access Provided by Open University at 01/22/11 8:51PM GMT Moving Image Review IS QUEER SECULAR? Netalie Braun’s Gevald Thea Gold A recent symposium at the University of California, Berkeley, was organized around the question “Is critique secular?”1 Responding to a growing critical engagement with secularisms, the symposium examined, among other things, Western critique’s current investment in secular ideals and the liberal imaginary through which Western intellectual critics can be nonreflexively attached to ideals of autonomy, creativity, and freedom. In a similar vein, we might also question the investment of queerness in secularism and its own uncritical attachments to such ideals. In other words, “Is queer secular?” The short film Gevald (2008), by the award- winning Israeli filmmaker Netalie Braun, provides an interesting study of this question.2 Beautifully shot and remarkably rich and multifaceted for its modest sixteen- minute running time, Gevald relates a lesbian love story set in West Jerusalem on the eve of the con- tested 2006 pride parade in the city. The film intersperses musical scenes from Shushan, a neighborhood gay drag club, with documentary footage of Haredi Jews rioting and protesting against the parade. Jerusalem city lights fade into a sparkling disco ball. At the club, drag queens on stage lip- synch their hearts out to Hebrew pop, as the gorgeous Palestinian bartender (the remarkable Samira Saraya) buys her Jewish dyke friend a drink.

  • The Politics of Talking About the Sexual Politics of Israel
    Fem Leg Stud (2011) 19:133–142 DOI 10.1007/s10691-011-9176-3 Citation and Censorship: The Politics of Talking About the Sexual Politics of Israel Jasbir Puar Published online: 15 July 2011 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2011 Abstract In response to critics’ claims that a discussion of sexuality and nation- alism vis-a`-vis the Israeli-Palestinian conflict bears no relation to the author’s previous work, or to such discussions within the US or European contexts, this paper details the complex interconnections between Israeli gay and lesbian rights and the continued oppression of Palestinians. The first section examines existing discourses of what the author has previously called ‘‘homonationalism,’’ or the process by which certain forms of gay and lesbian sexuality are folded into the national body as the Muslim/Arab Other is cast as perversely queer, within Israel and the diasporas. The operations of homonationalism ensure that no discussion of gay and lesbian rights in Israel is independent from the state’s actions toward Palestine/Palestinians. The second section contains a critique of Israel’s practices of ‘‘pinkwashing’’ in the US and Europe. In order to redirect focus away from critiques of its repressive actions toward Palestine, Israel has attempted to utilize its relative ‘‘gay-friendli- ness’’ as an example of its commitment to Western ‘‘democratic’’ ideals. Massive public relations campaigns such as ‘‘Brand Israel’’ work to establish Israel’s repu- tation within the US and Europe as cosmopolitan, progressive, Westernized and democratic as compared with the backward, repressive, homophobic Islamic nations, which, in turn, serves to solidify Israel’s aggression as a position of the ‘‘defense’’ of democracy and freedom.
