Roundtable on Decolonial Jewish Practice in Art and Visual Culture ‘after Gaza’
A statement on the ongoing genocide in Gaza
Communication, Culture and Critique has been the leading venue for critical approaches to communication and media studies. This issue marks the first guided by a newly formed Editorial Collective, which seeks to rekindle the politically engaged scholarship epitomized by the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at Birmingham University in the 1970s, then under the leadership of Stuart Hall. As we assume our responsibility to guide this journal…
From Heritage to Refugee Heritage
As a contemporary concept, heritage bridges legal discourse and ethical discourse, national affiliations and a global imaginary, colonial pasts and neocolonial presents. The term often circulates beliefs in cultural authenticity, collective memory, and historical merit under the logic of neoliberal markets and legitimate capital gain, hence the tight connections between cultural heritage, industry, and tourism. While the concept developed as earl…
From ‘sexy Semite’ to Semitic ghosts: Contemporary art between Arab and Jew
Semites, Semitism, the Semitic, the Semite. We all know the terms: we’ve heard them many times. We know of Semitic languages, we know of growing antisemitism, and we are familiar with book titles about Semites and Semitic cultures. And yet, these terms, these words, these adjectives remain for us today somewhat misty, imprecise and ambiguous in a way they did not seem to be for readers of nineteenth-century philology, theology or travel journals.…

From ‘Cinematic Occupation’ to ‘Cinematic Justice’: Citational Practices in Kamal Aljafari's ‘Jaffa Trilogy’
This article engages with three films by the Palestinian director Kamal Aljafari: The Roof (2006, 61 minutes), Port of Memory (2009, 62 minutes), and Recollection (2015, 70 minutes). My readings of the films highlight questions of erasure, destruction, elimination and harmful gentrification as practices of Israeli colonial violence on the Palestinian urban space. But if the films document such violence they further explore, I argue, the role of f…
Decolonizing Judaism: Barbarism and the Return to Nativism
Santiago Slabodsky's Decolonial Judaism: Triumphal Failures of Barbaric Thinking returns to a history of Jewish persecution, but unlike other attempts to trace the tradition of the Jewish “conscious pariah,” it does not aim to identify an “essence” of Judaism (say, “exilic consciousness”). The book's underlying goal is to think through the failures of previous Jewish projects to turn to the history of Jewish persecution, in order to form successf…

To Be or Not to Be an Israeli Arab: Sayed Kashua and the Prospect of Minority Speech-Acts
This essay is dedicated to the writings of Sayed Kashua, the young Israeli Palestinian novelist, journalist, and screenwriter who has become a central, if controversial, figure within the Israeli public domain: a target of both political and literary praise and blame. Specifically the essay examines Kashua's active participation in the Israeli (Hebrew) public sphere and the way in which his writings take part in the construction of a critical min…
