  • “Judeo-Arabic” and the Separationist Thesis

    Open AccessElla ShohatARTICLEPalestine/Israel Review2024

    This essay questions the axiomatic ontology of the “Judeo-Arabic language” as a cohesive unit separate from Arabic and its entanglement in the persistent ambivalence surrounding the conjoining of “the Jewish” and “the Arab.” In the wake of the partition of Palestine and the dislocation of Arab-Jews to Israel, classificatory categories, which can be traced to the nineteenth-century academic meeting ground of Semitic/Oriental and Hebraic/Judaic stu…

  • The split Arab/Jew figure revisited

    Ella ShohatARTICLEPatterns of Prejudice2020

    In this essay, Shohat argues that the question of the Arab-Jew, in contrast to present-day ethnonationalist common sense, must be rearticulated as mutually constitutive categories, so as to address the complex imaginaries of both ‘the Arab’ and ‘the Jew’. Elaborating on her earlier dialogue with Edward Said’s account of the bifurcated Oriental/Semitic myth—one rendered as the Orientalist (the Jew) and the other as the Oriental (the Arab)—Shohat o…

  • O espectro dos Blackamoor

    Open AccessElla ShohatARTICLEPORTO ARTE: Revista de Artes…2019

    Falar da figura de Blackamoor é falar de vários imaginários entrelaçados, especialmente ao longo do duplo eixo geográfico Leste / Oeste e Norte / Sul. Híbrida do negro africano e do mouro muçulmano, a figura de Blackamoor condensa representações freqüentemente conceituadas isoladamente nas cartografias compartimentadas dos vários estudos de área. O escrutínio dos Blackamoor, nesse sentido, ajuda a lançar luz sobre continuidades discursivas esquec…

  • The Specter Of The Blackamoor

    Open AccessElla ShohatARTICLEPORTO ARTE: Revista de Artes…2019Citada por: 1Referências: 1

    To speak of the Blackamoor figure is to speak of several intertwined imaginaries, especially along the East/West and North/South double geographical axis. A hybrid of the African Black and the Muslim Moor, the Blackamoor figure condenses representations often conceptualized in isolation within the compartmentalized cartographies of the various Area Studies. Scrutiny of the Blackamoor, in this sense, helps shed light on forgotten discursive contin…

  • The Invention of Judeo-Arabic

    Ella ShohatARTICLEInterventions2017

    This essay examines the issue of linguistic belonging as invented within national and colonial itineraries. More specifically, it explores the genealogy of the notion of ‘Judeo-Arabic language' and its axiomatic definition as a cohesive unit separate from Arabic. Underscoring instead the terms deployed by Arabic-speaking Jews themselves, the essay asks whether the concept of ‘Judeo-Arabic,' proposed by contemporary linguists, corresponds to the n…

  • Culinary Ghosting

    Open AccessElla ShohatARTICLERevista Crítica Cultural2017

    Ella Shohat tell us about the work of Michael Rakowitz and his three art and culinary projects that comment on the transnational flow of images and sounds, of smells and tactile impressions intermingled with the ashes of war and multiple displacements. Iraqi food and its relation with displacement, return, war, visibility are the subjects of the projects and of Shohat’s analysis. Through the prism of the culinary, Rakowitz’s Iraq cooking projects…

  • The Red Atlantic

    Open AccessRobert Stam, Ella ShohatCHAPTERRacial and Ethnic Identities in…2016

    By applying the concept of the “Red Atlantic,” partially inspired by that of “the Black Atlantic,” the chapter shows how the mobility and interchange between Europeans and the indigenous populations of the Americas is a quintessential example of “traveling theory.” It discusses diverse cultural and historical materials telling of the transnational flow of ideas around the figure of the Indian and the multifaceted encounters among various linguist…

  • Race in Translation

    Open AccessElla Shohat, Robert StamBOOKRace in translation2016

    While the term “culture wars” often designates the heated arguments in the English-speaking world spiraling around race, the canon, and affirmative action, in fact these discussions have raged in diverse sites and languages. Race in Translation charts the transatlantic traffic of the debates within and between three zones—the U.S., France, and Brazil. Stam and Shohat trace the literal and figurative translation of these multidirectional intellect…

  • Genealogies of Orientalism and Occidentalism

    Ella Shohat, Robert StamARTICLEStudies in American Jewish…2016Citada por: 1Referências: 3

    Tracing Orientalism back to the two 1492s—of Iberia and of the Americas—the authors examine Latin America’s ambivalence toward its Moorish-Sephardic heritage. Once belonging to a shared cultural landscape, Muslims and Jews were later seen by Ibero-American authorities as alien excrescences to be symbolically excised from a putatively pure body politic. Modernization came to be synonymous with Occidentalization. Using Gilberto Freyre’s work as a c…

  • Unthinking Eurocentrism

    Ella Shohat, Robert StamBOOKSightlines : Unthinking…2014

    Unthinking Eurocentrism, a seminal and award-winning work in postcolonial studies first published in 1994, explored Eurocentrism as an interlocking network of buried premises, embedded narratives, and submerged tropes that constituted a broadly shared epistemology. Within a transdisciplinary study, the authors argued that the debates about Eurocentrism and post/coloniality must be considered within a broad historical sweep that goes at least as f…

  • Remembering A Baghdad Elsewhere

    Ella ShohatARTICLEBiography2014

    By juxtaposing often quarantined geographies and histories, and interweaving disparate narratives, the author illuminates an emotional cartography of dislocation, as a disjointed map of her own journey and familial odyssey from Iraq to Israel/Palestine to the US outlines the making of a hyphenated identity, and the pain and pleasure of hybridity within cross-generational crossings of enemy zones

    Unthinking Eurocentrism explores issues of Eurocentrism and multiculturalism in relation to popular culture, film and the mass media. The book 'multiculturalizes' media studies by looking at Hollywood movie genres such as the western, the musical and the imperial film from multicultural perspectives, examining issues from the racial politics of casting to colonialist discourse and gender and Empire.More than just a critique of Eurocentrism and ra…

  • French Intellectuals and the Postcolonial

    Robert Stam, Ella ShohatARTICLEInterventions2012

    This essay outlines the ‘structuring absence’ of postcolonial theory in dominant French discourse until quite recently, despite France's position as a multiracial post-colonial society and despite the central role of French and francophone anticolonial thinkers in postcolonial and critical race thought. The essay outlines the absence of postcolonial thought, cultural studies, and critical race studies in French intellectual production through the…

  • Whence and Whither Postcolonial Theory

    Robert Stam, Ella ShohatARTICLENew Literary History2012Citada por: 14Referências: 4

    The Stam/Shohat essay addresses the "whence" and the "whither" of postcolonial critique. In their dialogue with the Young and Chakravarty essays, they argue for a decentered multidirectional narrative for the circulation of ideas. Tracing the issues raised by postcolonial critique back to "the various 1492s"-the Reconquista, the Inquisition, the Edicts of Expulsion, and the Conquista of the "new" world-they argue that postcolonial theory has mult…

    L’opposition des universitaires à la guerre du Golfe (1991) a mobilisé bon nombre de termes familiers – « impérialisme », « néocolonialisme », « néoimpérialisme » – dans une contreoffensive contre le Nouvel Ordre Mondial. Mais un terme a brillé par son absence – le terme « postcolonial » – même dans les discours des personnalités les mieux connues qui l’employaient d’habitude. Étant donnée l’extraordinaire circulation du terme dans les colloques …

  • Israeli Cinema

    Ella ShohatBOOKIsraeli Cinema2010

    When the Hebrew edition of this groundbreaking book came out, it provoked a stormy public debate. This is a new edition of “Israeli Cinema” with a substantial new postscript that reflects on the book’s initial reception and points to exciting new trends in the cinematic representation of Israel and Palestine. Ella Shohat explores the cinema as a productive site of national culture, dating back to the early Zionist films about turn-of-the-century …

  • On The Margins of Middle Eastern Studies

    Open AccessElla ShohatARTICLEReview of Middle East Studies2009

    The question of beginnings in relation to Edward Said’s book Orientalism can be narrated in very diverse ways, leading to a potentially productive question: when and where does the critique of Orientalism begin? Here at MESA, on the occasion of the 30 th anniversary to Said’s book, it would perhaps be instructive to situate the book in relation to the various geographies, histories and fields of knowledge in which it is embedded. What are the con…

  • Transnationalizing Comparison

    Robert Stam, Ella ShohatARTICLENew Literary History2009Citada por: 4

    This essay explores the role of cross-national and cross-cultural comparison within the race and multicultural debates as they play across various national and cultural zones-most notably U.S.-American, French, and Brazilian. Rather than "do" comparison, it analyzes the variegated modalities of comparison itself. The essay deploys a relational and transnational method that seeks, ultimately, to compare comparisons, eludicating the insights and bl…

  • Estudios postcoloniales

    Mezzadra, Marta Malo de Molina et al.BOOKEstudios postcoloniales2008

    Lejos de manifestar el enésimo síntoma de una era privada de la imaginación suficiente como para dotarse de nombres propios, lo postcolonial marca un tiempo de transición en el que lo antiguo permanece todavía entre nosotros, constituyendo un presente que aún no ha encontrado su forma paradigmática. En este sentido, lo postcolonial señala el fin de una época, la de los grandes imperios coloniales, seguida de la independencia del dominio colonial …
