摘要

《酷儿巴勒斯坦和批判帝国》是对中东和北非地区社会运动酷儿和女权主义实践以及巴勒斯坦酷儿和女权主义政治和民族解放的重要补充。Sa 'ed Atshan用交叉视角分析了酷儿巴勒斯坦,并敦促活动家和学者重新思考批评、团结和社会运动建设的意义和实践。这本书分为五个章节,重点关注巴勒斯坦的LGBTQ和普通人的政治;全球团结与洗粉政治;跨国行动主义和抵制政治;媒体、电影和代表性政治;以及对帝国和学术界政治的批判。Atshan运用民族志、自我民族志和65个对巴勒斯坦酷儿和积极分子的采访来探索巴勒斯坦酷儿运动在当地和全球的联系。他追溯了这场运动的发展,以及以色列政府和巴勒斯坦活动人士以及与他们团结一致的人进行的洗粉运动。Atshan的主要批评是针对那些他称之为激进纯粹主义者的人,这些人,无论是否是巴勒斯坦人,都享有作为运动代表的单一声音的特权。学者、记者甚至酷儿活动人士都提出了这种批评,在他看来,这种批评助长了纯粹的意识形态立场,使活动人士噤声,并处于守势。他还想知道为什么巴勒斯坦的酷儿团结运动在2012年之后停滞不前。Atshan区分了团结精神的批评和作为一种惩戒机制的批评,这种机制旨在通过话语剥夺巴勒斯坦酷儿的权利来沉默或剥夺他们的权力。他认为,激进的纯粹主义者的批评常常导致巴勒斯坦同性恋团结运动的分裂和削弱。巴勒斯坦酷儿团结活动人士强调了以色列军国主义、LGBTQ骄傲庆祝活动、国际旅游和消除巴勒斯坦苦难之间的交集。在他们看来,这是以色列洗粉的标志。以色列试图把自己打造成同性恋的避风港,但却保持着一种虚伪的立场,相当于为同性恋权利开化的使命。Atshan认为,激进纯粹主义的政治潮流随后帮助将对帝国的批判转变为一个“批判帝国”,在这个帝国中,酷儿巴勒斯坦人——在很大程度上,他们的许多盟友——发现自己处于众多重叠的监视、怀疑和控制之下。这些行为的后果是话语剥夺公民权利,优先抵抗犹太复国主义而不是抵抗同性恋恐惧症,以及巴勒斯坦酷儿团结运动缺乏发展。

Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique
Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique is an important addition to the scholarship on social movements and queer and feminist praxes in the MENA region as well as queer and feminist politics and national liberation in the case of Palestine. Sa’ed Atshan uses an intersectional lens for his analysis of queer Palestine and urges activists and scholars to rethink the meaning and practice of critique, solidarity, and social movement building. The book is divided into five chapters focusing on LGBTQ Palestinians and the politics of the ordinary; global solidarity and the politics of pinkwashing; transnational activism and the politics of boycotts; media, film, and the politics of representation; and critique of empire and the politics of academia. Atshan uses ethnography, autoethnography, and sixty-five interviews with queer Palestinians and activists to explore the local and global connections in the Palestinian queer movement. He traces the development of this movement, as well as the pinkwashing branding campaigns by the Israeli state and pinkwashing by Palestinian activists and those who stand in solidarity with them. Atshan’s main critique is against those he refers to as radical purists, who, whether Palestinian or not, privilege a single voice as a representative of the movement. This critique is leveled by academics, journalists, and even queer activists and has contributed in his view to pure ideological positions that have silenced activists and put them on the defensive. He also wonders why the queer solidarity movement for Palestine plateaued after 2012. Atshan distinguishes between critique in the spirit of solidarity and critique as a disciplining mechanism aimed at silencing or disempowering queer Palestinians through discursive disfranchisement. He argues that critiques from radical purists often contribute to the splintering and weakening of the queer Palestinian solidarity movement. Queer Palestinian solidarity activists emphasize the intersection between Israeli militarism, LGBTQ pride celebrations, international tourism, and the erasure of Palestinian suffering. This in their view forms the hallmark of Israeli pinkwashing. In its attempt to brand itself as a gay haven, Israel maintains a hypocritical position that amounts to a civilizing mission for gay rights. Atshan argues that the political currents of radical purism have subsequently helped transform the critique of empire into an “empire of critique” in which queer Palestinians— and to a large extent many of their allies—find themselves under numerous overlapping regimes of surveillance, suspicion, and control. The consequences for such acts are discursive disenfranchisement, prioritizing resistance to Zionism over resistance to homophobia, and a lack of growth of the queer Palestinian solidarity movement.
