The Edinburgh Companion to the Postcolonial Middle East
Develops a new 'post/colonial' model of Middle Eastern literary and cultural modernityThis Edinburgh Companion seeks to develop a postcolonial framework for addressing the Middle East. The first collection of essays on this subject, it assembles some of the world's foremost postcolonialists to explore the critical, theoretical and disciplinary possibilities that inquiry into this region opens for postcolonial studies.Throughout its twenty-four ch…
Out of Place around Other People’
We used a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to address the question, ‘What does it mean to experience food insecurity?’ Youth focus group interviews incorporating art/writing prompts and interviews with programme director interviews contributed to our understanding of youth feeling out of place around other people . Young people living in food‐insecure homes in rural areas may experience complicated sets of interactions that simultaneously co…
Communing with Darwish’s Ghosts
In his prose poem Absent Presence (published in English translation in 2010), the revered Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish identified a source of tension that resonates through much Palestinian creative expression: a tension not between Arab and Jew, nor between Israeli and Palestinian but between presence and absence . Drawing on the many motifs of presence and absence, and by extension, of visibility and invisibility, spectrality and haunting t…
Where is Palestine
Where is Palestine? is the title – apparently provocative in its counterfactual obviousness, since of course we all know where Palestine is, don’t we? – of Shannee Marks’s short book published in 1
Palestinian Literature and Film in Postcolonial Feminist Perspective
Palestinian Literature and Film in Postcolonial Feminist Perspective is the first sustained study of gender-consciousness in the Palestinian creative imagination. Drawing on concepts from postcolonial feminist theory, Ball analyses a range of literary and filmic works by major creative practitioners including Michel Khleifi , Liana Badr, Annemarie Jacir, Elia Suleiman, Mona Hatoum and Suheir Hammad, and reveals a hitherto unrecognized trajectory …
Impossible Intimacies
The West Bank Wall (or ‘Separation Fence’) constructed by Israel along much of its border with the occupied West Bank offers a potent visual signifier of the divisive, restrictive and intrusive ways in which the Israeli occupation touches the everyday lives of Palestinians. Consequently, the Wall has become a prominent site of representational concern in Arab visual culture. This article examines two particular visual representations of the Israe…
Things That Walk With Me
Critical Exchanges in Postcolonial Studies, Post-9/11
Between a Postcolonial Nation and Fantasies of the Feminine
One of the many astonishing traits of Palestinian cinema is the way in which it has embraced the complex relationship between gender and nation as a central concern in its filmmaking. This article explores the ways in which gendered and national identity are negotiated and refigured in two seminal contributions to Palestinian cinema, Michel Khleifi's Wedding in Galilee and Elia Suleiman's Divine Intervention. Paying close attention to the contest…
