through bir ona highway and the olive orchards behind it photo courtesy of thayer hastings featured works immobility and care on the fringes of personhood in jerusalem thayer hastings although sara was born in and had never left the area of the west bank and was in her late 20s when we met she still had not obtained basic documentation registration of an identification number and ultimately recognition of personhood the state claims that the family had missed a deadline for registering her birth in a bethlehem hospital and this had cascaded into a lifelong impediment for sara without an identity card many basic aspects of life founded on bureaucratic documentation became difficult if not unattainable travel licensing driving higher education and so on although she had challenged her non status through the israeli court systems for a decade she still had not made any substantive progress in obtaining these foundational records as a result she lived a geographically contained life resembling a situation of civil death one that was automatically applied to her and others like her since she was born rather than one that was issued punitively read more rooted movements the radical poetics of palestinian space amanda batarseh present in the heart of modern palestinian literature is a pervasive sense of rootedness sustained and nurtured by a deep care for land stewardship and embedded in a spatialized history in rooted movements amanda batarseh examines the epistemology of palestinian indigeneity based in a radical relationship to place against a colonial logic that often centers displacement as the chief lens through which to understand palestinian connection to place and spatialized existence batarseh argues that palestinian literature poses indigeneity as a dialectic relying as much upon rootedness as on ideas of movement in elaborating this tension batarseh develops a methodology of reading palestinian literature that foregrounds how palestinians negotiate space and removal through liberatory mobilization and not as a symptom of zionist colonial violence reading the poetry creative nonfiction essays novels and films of writers in palestine and in exile from ghassan kanafani to naomi shihab nye hussein barghouthi raja shehadeh ibtisam azem and randa jarrar she exposes the limitations of focusing on the geopolitical borders of a modern nation state and offers alternative imaginaries not bound by colonial spatial control instead the palestinian poetics of space batarseh articulates engage rooted movement as an indigenous expression of deep seated and enduring connections to place palestine this place is not static enclosed by military boundaries or frozen in time before or after the nakba but generative and looking toward a palestinian future read more updates july 2024 june 2024 april 2024 march 2024 read more insaniyyat talks censored palestine in european academia since the beginning of israel s war on gaza many universities and

high flame violence with their habitat becoming spaces of blatantly visible non life questions of the meaning and practice of remaining present of existence itself have never been more urgent these
