Israeli visual politics

Closed workshop with Rebecca L. Stein (Duke University).

In this closed workshop with Rebecca Stein, we will discuss the visual politics of Israel in the context of the ongoing genocide. We propose that participants read two papers by Rebecca Stein in advance to qualify the discussion, ‘“The Boy Who Wasn’t Really Killed”: Israeli State Violence in the Age of the Smartphone Witness’ and ‘Vanishing Acts: How the Israeli Media Manages Gaza’. The workshop precedes a public lecture by Rebecca Stein.

Bio

Professor Rebecca Stein is a cultural anthropologist and visual studies scholar researching cultural politics in Israel/Palestine in the context of the Israeli military occupation and legacy of the Palestinian dispossession.  She is the author and/or editor of five books in the field of anti-colonial Israel/Palestine studies.

Her latest book, Screen Shots: State Violence on Camera in Israel and Palestine, is the culmination of a multi-book project about the ways that new media and communication technologies are recalibrating the Israeli relationship to its military occupation.
