From the river to the sea
This essay explores how thinking with Gramsci helps us understand the differentiated forms of settler colonialism with which Palestinian artists have to contend in the current post-Oslo conjuncture in Palestine. This conjuncture refers to the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993 and 1995 and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority (the PNA) in the Occupied Territories. I begin by highlighting how Gramscian thought can help us foreg…
Mapping and countermapping dispossession in Palestine
In their claim to distance from reality, maps seek power from representation. Maps are constituted by a particular set of practices that are enmeshed within wider social relations. Maps, then, are a powerful vantage point for understanding the geometries of power. Under settler colonialism, geography is constantly reshaped and reconfigured by expansionist and eliminatory logics. Such is the case in Palestine, where Israeli settler colonialism has…
Culture and the City
This article sets the development of urban cultural scenes in Palestine within a global frame of uneven development. It draws on field work in Haifa (in the 1948 Palestinian territories) and Ramallah (in central West Bank) to argue that the shift toward neoliberalism in 1985 and its sedimentation through the Oslo Accords in 1993 amount to a “transformed settler colonialism,” one more intimately tied to flows of global capital. I use articulation …
The World We Became
Tackling how racial justice and climate crisis are entangled, this essay introduces a speculative cartography experiment entitled The World We Became: Map Quest 2350 . A collaboration between a collective of artists, poets, academics, curators, architects, and activists, this digital humanities project maps global ecological crises and shared Black, Asian, Pacific, Middle Eastern, Latin American, Caribbean, and Indigenous futures. Intentionally p…
On Refugee Agency, Bio-Politics, and a New World
This short intervention starts by discussing Giorgio Agamben’s theoretical formulation of ‘bare life,’ popular in refugee studies. Thinking with the case study of Palestinian refugee camps, particularly in the West Bank, it argues that there are clear limitations to the discourse of and bare life. I argue that ‘bare life’ neither accounts for the multilayered relations of power, particularly colonialism, slavery, and indigenous genocide, that sys…
