Abstract

Chapter 2 discusses women’s popular resistance activism. Based on ethnographic observations and interviews with Palestinian female protestors, it traces the forms, meanings, and impact of women’s involvement in demonstrations against the illegal Israeli separation wall. Such embodied protest actions hold particular gender-specific meanings: by dramatically putting their bodies on the line, women resist the Israeli occupation, but they also challenge essentialist discourses that reduce women to biological and cultural reproducers of the nation and counter the international agenda’s disciplining project of confining Palestinian women’s political spaces to that of joint Palestinian-Israeli peace initiatives. By doing politics differently, Palestinian female resistance activists thus challenge classic liberal notions of the political and enact what Nancy Fraser in her critique of Habermas termed “subaltern counterpublics.”
妇女的普遍抵抗
第二章讨论了妇女的大众抵抗运动。基于对民族志的观察和对巴勒斯坦女性抗议者的采访,本书追溯了女性参与抗议以色列非法隔离墙的示威活动的形式、意义和影响。这种具体的抗议行动具有特定的性别含义:通过戏剧性地将自己的身体置于危险之中,女性抵抗以色列的占领,但她们也挑战了本质主义的话语,这些话语将女性贬低为国家的生物和文化复制者,并反对国际议程将巴勒斯坦妇女的政治空间限制在巴以联合和平倡议范围内的纪律项目。通过不同的政治方式,巴勒斯坦女性抵抗运动积极分子因此挑战了经典的自由主义政治观念,并制定了南希·弗雷泽在她对哈贝马斯的批评中所说的“下层反公众”。
