Bodies, Power and Resistance in the Middle East: Experiences of Subjectification in the Occupied Palestinian Territories: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Bodies, Power and Resistance in the Middle East: Experiences of Subjectification in the Occupied Palestinian Territories" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

To understand how women experience occupation, this book examines the various ways in which the occupation is directed at making Palestinian women into subjects of power. The work argues that the exercises of power are focused on controlling and disciplining womens bodies. The objectives are to expose how the exclusions of womens daily-lived experiences of conflict in the occupied Palestinian territories obscures how power operates, to demonstrate how the elements of Israeli security practices make women insecure, and to highlight how resistance to the occupation can be found embedded within daily life in the occupied territories. Ultimately, all of these themes can be related more broadly to how women might experience conflict and resist subjectification by exposing different ways that subjectifications result in insecurities and resistance to those insecurities. While the book is specific to women in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, the exercises of power and enactments of resistance it exposes demonstrate how important it is to take seriously the feminist argument that the personal is international, and the international is personal.This book will be of much interest to students of gender politics, critical security studies, Middle Eastern politics, sociology and IR in general.

Bodies, Power, and Resistance in the Middle East

The book examines how exercises of power and processes of security exercised in the occupied Palestinian territories have formed Palestinian women as subjects.

To understand how women experience occupation, this book examines the various ways in which the occupation is directed at making Palestinian women into subjects of power. The work argues that the exercises of power are focused on controlling and disciplining womens bodies. The objectives are to expose how the exclusions of womens daily lived experiences of conflict in the occupied Palestinian territories obscures how power operates; to demonstrate how the elements of Israeli security practices make women insecure; and to highlight how resistance to the occupation can be found embedded within daily life in the occupied territories. Ultimately, all of these themes can be related more broadly to how women might experience conflict and resist subjectification by exposing different ways that subjectifications result in insecurities and resistance to those insecurities. While the book is specific to women in the occupied Palestinian territories, the exercises of power and enactments of resistance it exposes demonstrate how important it is to take seriously the feminist argument that the personal is international, and the international is personal.

This book will be of much interest to students of gender politics, critical security studies, Middle Eastern politics, sociology and IR in general.

For Joel, who challenged me to do damage to injustice wherever I can

Contents

I sincerely hope I have not left anyone out here. Huge thanks goes to Owen Worth, who supervised my Ph.D. Owen provided me with great advice, comments on drafts and support, and often told me to stop worrying so much. In the early stages of this project, Swati Parashar was a great help and really challenged me to make my analysis better and more rigorous.

At the University of Limerick, I got a great deal of help and support from Neil Robinson, Tom Lodge, Andrew Shorten, Rachel Ibreck, Maura Adshead, Carmen Kuhling and Tracey Gleeson. I am also grateful to my students at UL, for posing thought-provoking questions and reflecting on ideas with enthusiasm and a great deal of insight. At Ohio University I am grateful for the support of the Department of Political Science and Judith Grant, for providing me with a grant for the indexing of the book. Ziad Abu-Rish helped me enormously when I was stuck in an intellectual rut, and Jennifer Fredette read and commented on drafts of three chapters. Five students at Ohio University helped point out passages that needed to be more clear or concise. Thank you, Ricardo Garcia, Neti Gupta, Laura Erwin, Katie Conlon and Alena Klimas for your help with this!

Emma Bunkley read and commented on early drafts of this project from her hut in Senegal and on later drafts from her desk in Tucson. Her insight was refreshing and helpful. Liam OByrne helped tremendously with my bibliography. During and after my viva, Marysia Zalewski was immensely helpful and supportive. Christine Sylvester and my editors at Routledge, Andrew Humphrys and Hannah Ferguson have been very supportive and have given excellent advice. I would also like to thank the anonymous reviewer who provided valuable feedback on an earlier manuscript draft.

This project would not have been possible without the amazing contributions of the Palestinian women (and men) I met in the West Bank. In six weeks they taught me more about power, resistance, struggle and love than I could have ever imagined. Their hospitality, warmth, honesty and delicious food made me feel welcome and valued, even at a time when they face incredible hardships, and they represent all of the best qualities of humanity. In particular, my assistant and translator, Jala was so helpful, my host mother Lorette treated me like a daughter and the women of Nabi Saleh showed me what it means to struggle for freedom. From the bottom of my heart, shukran.

Writing a book is very solitary work, and I am so fortunate to have had the support of friends and family. I cannot thank my mom enough, and I am so grateful to her for instilling in me values of justice, hard work, love and compassion for others. I am grateful to my friends far and wide for their support and encouragement, especially Helen Basini, Clair Sheehan and Shawna Butel. Miriam Walsh deserves her own page of acknowledgements for all the lifts, dinners, clothes, cups of coffee, biscuits, shoulders to cry on, hugs, laughter, gigs, borrowed fivers and other assorted forms of assistance. Andre Dirszus had to put up with a lot of the fall-out of a stressed-out Caitlin, cooked lots of dinners and didnt hold it against me that I neglected my share of the house cleaning for several months. Mostly, he always knew how to make me laugh when I was at the height of stress. Thank you so much for everything, dear.
