Introduction
This contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium "Fuzzy Studies: On the Consequence of Blur" is the introduction to its fourth installment. The piece elaborates a new approach, termed "political semiosis," to tracking event emergence, event formation, and event deformation. This approach enables event analysts to capture the formation and flow of events as they move, take shape, intersect, and form eddies of undecidability. Taking seriously th…

A Prophetic Peace
Overview: Challenging deeply held convictions about Judaism, Zionism, war, and peace, Alick Isaacs's combat experience in the second Lebanon war provoked him to search for a way of reconciling the belligerence of religion with its messages of peace.

Lebanon Ii
This memoir is a detailed and reflective (though highly subjective) account of the author's experiences in the summer of 2006. Starting with the outbreak of the Second Lebanese War, it moves on to describe his call-up and conscription, border service at the IDF outpost in Metulla and participation in the combat inside southern Lebanon. The narrative follows the progress of an infantry unit from its point of entry on the Israel-Lebanese border, th…
The Humility of Hypocrisy
Following directly upon an account of the author's personal experiences as a young soldier in Gaza during the course of the first intifada in 1987, this essay is an attempt to "cash in" rabbinic statements that present the entire Torah as a path to peace. The essay suggests that the genre of rabbinic debate-rather than the specific content of rabbinic statements-can be understood as peaceful. The study of halakhic literature, which is generally u…
