  • The War on Terror, Dismantling, and the Construction of Place: An Ethnographic Perspective from Palestine

    Julie PeteetCHAPTERMilitarization2019

  • Closure's Temporality

    Julie PeteetARTICLESouth Atlantic Quarterly2018Cited by: 18References: 17

    This article explores time as a lens through which to understand the lives of Palestinians under a colonial-settler occupation and policy of closure where time and mobility are weaponized as an integral part of expanding the state and winnowing the indigenous population. Time, like mobility, is a heavily marked category, objectified and subject to calculation and control, on one hand, and uncertainty and loss of control, on the other. In the prev…

  • Space and Mobility in Palestine

    Julie PeteetBOOKSpace and Mobility in Palestine2017

    Professor Julie Peteet believes that the concept of mobility is key to understanding how place and space act as forms of power, identity, and meaning among Palestinians in Israel today. In Space and Mobility in Palestine, she investigates how Israeli policies of closure and separation influence Palestinian concerns about constructing identity, the ability to give meaning to place, and how they comprehend, experience, narrate, and respond to Israe…

  • Language Matters: Talking about Palestine

    Julie PeteetARTICLEJournal of Palestine Studies2016Cited by: 7

    This article explores the linguistic repertoires and conceptual categories that are discursive workhorses in the task of informing U.S. public opinion and shaping policy on Palestine. It situates language commodification in a modern settler-colonial context as it intersects with corporate public relations. The article probes two sites of knowledge production and circulation: the media and the academy. It argues that, ultimately, the media's discu…

  • The Work of Comparison: Israel/Palestine and Apartheid

    Julie PeteetARTICLEAnthropological Quarterly2016Cited by: 9

    The comparison of apartheid with the 45-year Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, and its guiding ideology, Zionism, has a genealogy situated in global and local politics as well as in scholarship. This article asks why the comparison emerged with vigor in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, and weighs its contemporary usefulness. What sort of work does the comparison do and what does it illuminate about the rule of modern colonial states? Th…

  • Camps and Enclaves: Palestine in the Time of Closure

    Julie PeteetARTICLEJournal of Refugee Studies2015Cited by: 10References: 7

    Refugee camps and enclaves share a conceptual family resemblance. In Palestine, what endows these forms of confinement with specificity is their deployment in a modern and protracted colonial context. This article asks how each speaks to the other experientially and theoretically. Further, how are they entangled with historical processes, intent and experience? Each period in Palestinian displacement entails particular immobilizing physical struc…

  • Question: How Useful Has the Concept of Sectarianism Been for Understanding the History, Society, and Politics of the Middle East

    Open AccessJulie PeteetARTICLEInternational Journal Middle East…2008Cited by: 5References: 1

    Every society has subterranean fractures—ethnic, regional, racial, tribal, or sectarian. Given the right confluence of events, these can erupt and take on new life. When imperial and colonial powers produce a body of knowledge about those they rule, they often construct sociodemographic categories along these very fault lines. In the Middle East, this process has coincided with an attempted regional remapping using imagined and yet real (although…

  • Words as interventions: Naming in the Palestine – Israel conflict

    Julie PeteetARTICLEThird World Quarterly2005Cited by: 17

    This paper examines the practice of naming events, actions, places and people in the Palestine – Israel conflict. It explores the way colonialism and the national project deploy transformations in naming to construct places and identities and craft widespread imaginaries about these places. Names form part of cultural systems that structure and nuance the way we imagine and understand the world. They embody ideological significance and moral attr…
