Current Research

For my PhD, I am researching embodied approaches to challenging dominant systems of knowledge in everyday life in Palestine and Israel. My focus is on the interaction between agonistic and antagonistic dimensions within epistemic struggles and embodied forms of protest. Specifically, I examine how Palestinian artists within Israel and the West Bank as well as Israeli anti-Zionist/anti-apartheid activists use embodied performances to disrupt hegemonic knowledge systems and resist various forms of violence and injustice. My research also touches on future-oriented or utopian reimaginations of Palestine as expressed through these performances. I conceptualise the agonistic-antagonistic interplay as a performative, epistemically disruptive politics—an embodied language of dissent that opens up political spaces for the emergence of new subjectivities.  My research is part of the project “Pushing the boundaries of peace research - reconceptualizing and measuring agonistic peace” (PUSHPEACE), funded by Riksbanken Jubileumsfond 2019-2023.
