Holding space open
Witnessing the erasure of spaces and landscapes in Gaza reveals as much the ethical and ontological necessity to narrate as it does the limits of writing. In this commentary on Lubna Abu Sitta’s intervention, we grasp this tension by thinking with her how embodied writing can narrate what seems impossible for words to capture. Abu Sitta’s writing in-place and through lived ruination voices affects, attachments, vulnerabilities, losses, and exposu…
Invoking Dignity
When Resilience Becomes a Burden
In this essay, Palestinian scholars from Gaza reflect on how Gaza is brought into Western academic spaces since the beginning of the genocide. Over the last two years, academic engagement with Gaza has increased, often highlighting Palestinian resilience. While this attention is essential and needed, the authors argue that framing Palestinians as resilient obscures the toll of genocidal, settler-colonial violence. This narrative not only clouds g…
Temporal ruination
As the Israeli genocidal war drags past 700 days in Gaza, the temporality and rhythms of daily life have been dismantled, with a complete lack of linearity and plannability. In tracing how the settler colonial project in Palestine weaponises time through checkpoints, permit regime, court bureaucracy, and different colonial actors, the temporalities of attrition and slow violence in Gaza reached their most acute form after October 7. Drawing on 15…
Fitful Infrastructures
Since 7 October 2023, Gaza has been subjected to unprecedented Israeli genocidal violence that has erased its life‐supporting infrastructure. To understand how Gazans navigated these catastrophic conditions—or what we call “infrastructural elimination”—by inventing ephemeral practices using scarce materials at hand, the paper examines “fitful infrastructures”. We scrutinise the material formation of three infrastructural practices: constructing m…
Topologies of scholasticide in Gaza
The Israeli military aggression against Gaza has led to unprecedented destruction. Since October 2023, Israel has cut off water, fuel, and electricity, prevented humanitarian aid and destroyed vital facilities and infrastructure, turning the Gaza Strip into a death space marked by horror and mass devastation. The educational sector has suffered significantly, with thousands of students, teachers and professors killed or injured and 60% of educati…
