  • More about Conflicts: The Poetics and Politics of Palestine-Israel


Liron Mors book challenges the universal notion of conflict, revealing its colonial implications and proposing that conflicts are always politically constructed after the fact. It explores sites of poetic and political strife in Palestine-Israel by combining a comparative study of Hebrew and Arabic literature with political and literary theory. It offers five figurative conflictual concepts derived from the poetics of the works, aiming to generate a historically and geographically situated mode of theory-making.

Liron Mors' book delves into the complex concept of conflict in the context of Palestine-Israel, challenging the prevailing notion that it is a singular and primary force that necessitates the state and underpins politics. Instead, Mors proposes that conflicts are always politically constructed after the fact and should be understood in their various specific forms.

The book explores sites of poetic and political strife in Palestine-Israel by combining a comparative study of Hebrew and Arabic literature with political and literary theory. Through an extensive archive that spans from the 1930s to the present, including prose, poetry, film, and television, Mors challenges the conception of the Palestinian-Israeli context as a conflict, delineating the colonial history of this concept and showing its inadequacy to the region. Instead, Mors articulates locally specific modes of theorizing the antagonisms and mediations, colonial technologies, and anticolonial practices that make up the fabric of this site.

The book offers five figurative conflictual concepts that are derived from the poetics of the works: conflict (judgment/ ishtibāk), levaṭim (disorienting dilemmas), ikhtifāʾ (anti/colonial disappearance), ḥoḳ (mediating law), and inqisām (hostile severance). These concepts aim to generate a historically and geographically situated mode of theory-making, defying the separation between the conceptual and the poetic.

By examining the complexities of conflict in Palestine-Israel, Mors' book provides a valuable contribution to the field of political and literary analysis, offering a fresh perspective on a region that has been plagued by conflict for decades.
