Occupying Habits: Everyday Media as Warfare in Israel-Palestine
How did the Israeli military learn to cope with the ubiquity of media technologies that routinely documented their power abuses? How did they re-appropriate these to tighten their grip on Palestine? This book explains why a high-tech nation with advanced military technologies came to rely on the everyday media habits performed by soldiers and civilians. Daniel Mann argues that the intensification of the security regime in Palestine, and the incre…
Rambo in the dead lands: On cinema, war and climate
In war-weary Israel, where military checkpoints dot the country and gun-toting soldiers are everywhere, visitors cannot help but be apprehensive. The soaring temperatures and isolation of the country’s rugged landscape fit the mood of lonely, dispirited Vietnam vet John Rambo.1 This extract from a 1987 Los Angeles Times article implies that war and climate in Israel combine to create a perfect film set for Rambo III (Peter MacDonald, 1988). Produ…
I Am Spartacus’: Individualising visual media and warfare
The constant presence of cameras and social media has become a given during day-to-day military activities in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Such technologies shift the focus of warfare onto the individual, and in particular onto the faces of soldiers and Palestinians caught on camera. Due to the habitual use of mobile phones and social media by both soldiers and civilians, the face is singled out as a new battleground, where po…
Drought, vegetation change, and human history on Rapa Nui (Isla de Pascua, Easter Island)
Stratigraphic records from lake sediment cores and slope deposits on Rapa Nui document prehistoric human impacts and natural environmental changes. A hiatus in sedimentation in Rano Raraku suggests that this lake basin dried out sometime after 4090–4410 cal yr BP and refilled only decades to centuries before AD 1180–1290. Widespread ecosystem changes caused by forest clearance by Polynesian farmers began shortly after the end of this drought. Ter…
