The Anthropological Research Laboratory invites you to the lecture of Rebecca L. Stein (Duke University): “Israeli Visual Politics in a Time of Genocide”. Monday, May 26, 15:00-17:00, Room A2

The speaker will be introduced by Professor Athena Athanasiou

This paper queries the terms of perpetrator visuality – defined as ways of seeing and visual practices that are employed by Israelis and their supporters to bolster and advance the genocidal campaign on Gaza. Visual strategies include everything from erasure – such as banishing Palestinian victims from the Israeli mainstream visual frame – to the visual coding of all images of Palestinians as terrorists and would-be targets.

Rebecca L. Stein is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University, USA. She researches the cultural politics associated with the Israeli military occupation of Palestine. Her work focuses on anti-colonial Israeli-Palestinian studies. Her most recent book Screen Shots: State Violence on Camera in Israel and Palestine is about the media and communication technologies involved in the occupation of Palestine.
