Considérant la façon dont des juifs israéliens de diverses communautés ont dû faire face à l'histoire de la dépossession palestinienne au cours de la guerre de 1948-1949, cet article traite de la manière dont cette histoire affecte les choses ayant appartenu aux Palestiniens et propose un changement de perspective en mettant l'accent non plus sur la dépossession mais sur la re-possession . Il s'agit de prendre au sérieux les modalités selon lesquelles, une fois appropriées, les choses palestiniennes prennent sens à l'intérieur de la matrice politique israélienne ; il s'agit également de savoir comment les mémoires israéliennes réussissent ou échouent à s'attacher à ces choses ; il s'agit enfin de se demander ce que de tels processus ont à nous dire sur le nationalisme israélien de colonisation et ses techniques quotidiennes.

This essay examines two works by the Israeli director Eytan Fox—Florentin, a television serial, and The Bubble, a feature film—and the highly divergent ways they negotiate the interplay between queerness, the Israeli state, and the Israeli military occupation. Reading Fox's works symptomatically, the essay proposes that Florentin and The Bubble can be understood as indexes of the changing Israeli political landscape of the last decade—both the vacillating landscape of gay rights and visibility within the nation-state and the changing landscape of Israeli occupation and Palestinian struggle that the Oslo process of the 1990s made possible. In keeping with the tradition of symptomatic reading, the analysis pays close attention to storylines and populations that Fox has excluded from these works, arguing that Fox's representations of gay Israeli life are intimately enmeshed with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, even at moments when, through cinematic silence, the conflict is implicitly disavowed.

This paper studies the intersections between military occupation and tourism in contemporary Israel. Focusing on two key moments of Israeli military engagement—the 1967 war and subsequent Israeli military occupation and the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon—the paper considers the ways that mainstream Israeli newspapers represented the conquest and/or incursion to Israeli publics through stories about Israeli tourism, consumption, and pleasure in the occupied territories in question. Drawing on postcolonial scholarship on colonial travel, I argue that these tourism stories can be read as "anticonquest narratives" that obscure the violence of the occupation by recasting it as a leisure opportunity. Both cases have been largely overlooked within the scholarly writing on Israel, and both expand our scholarly accounts of Israeli militarism by considering the quotidian, cultural avenues by which military projects have been enabled and sustained.
