Walking to Unsettle Jerusalem
From 2014 to 2017 I guided half a dozen public walks in Jerusalem’s southern neighborhoods. The walks were conducted during the research and production of the interactive documentary Jerusalem, We Are Here, which digitally reinscribes Palestinians into the neighborhoods from which they were expelled by the 1948 war, or the nakba. The walks were performative and participatory and joined a long tradition of walking as art. They offered an alternati…

Combat cuties: Photographs of Israeli women soldiers in the press since the 2006 Lebanon War
For the first time since 1948, Israeli women soldiers took part in combat in Lebanon in the summer of 2006 and excelled in their jobs. However, images of women soldiers published in the press, during and after the war, objectify the soldiers in ways that belittle their violent agency. The images tend to sexualize the women soldiers as well as their militarized skill and gear
Unruly Daughters to Mother Nation: Palestinian and Israeli First-person Films
This article examines the Israeli documentary My Land Zion and the Palestinian documentary Paradise Lost. Both films are critical autobiographical texts and in both, the woman filmmaker negotiates her emotional and ideological ties with her culture, history, and nation. Naaman proposes that by using the autobiographical genre and by engaging emotionally as well as rationally, the women filmmakers discussed offer a particular gendered position reb…

The Silenced Outcry: A Feminist Perspective from the Israeli Checkpoints in Palestine
This paper discusses the activities of Machsom Watch, a human rights organization of Israeli women who visit the checkpoints in the occupied West Bank daily to monitor the army's operation of the checkpoints and intervene when possible. The paper examines the presence of Israeli women at the checkpoints vis-à-vis both Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians, and it explores some gendered aspects of the occupation, as manifested in the checkpoi…

Orientalism as Alterity in Israeli Cinema
This article deals with the representation of Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians in the Israeli cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, specifically the phenomenon of "passing," whereby ethnicity and race are interchangeable in casting and plot. Such passing can empower Middle Eastern Jews to deconstruct ethnic stereotypes, while excluding Palestinians from participating in public discourse.
