Abstract
This article contrasts historical and contemporary discourses and visualizations of the notions of Homeland, the Other and the Self that have been applied in the Zionist/Israeli project to colonize Palestine and displace its indigenous inhabitants. It actively connects theories of visual sociology and cultural studies (postmodern critical theory) with (1) various Israeli and Palestinian political discourses of Belonging (nationhood) while also (2) providing the reader with clear-cut, material examples of both exclusivist Zionist technologies of power and subaltern Palestinian techniques of counter-discourse, ultimately retracing historical continuity and unveiling resonant dialectics of modern nationalist doctrine across the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries throughout both Europe and the Middle East. Critically tracing and decoding the altering semiotic identity of a set of politicized posters highlights the key importance and the ongoing use of abstract power (discourse) within Israeli strategies of occupation and siege while simultaneously disclosing innovative Palestinian forms of visual resistance that advocate ‘existence’ in an asymmetric configuration of ‘conflict’. In order to interpret the selected visuals fully, one needs foremost to be acquainted with the interwoven ‘migration’ of populations, ideas, and praxes through both time and space.
Key Words: Discourse, floating signifier, Israel, migration, Palestine, settler-colonialism, visual resistance

Hello Jaafar,
A rafeeq sent me some of your papers...I have loaded two of them at PPPA:
http://palestineposterproject.org/poster/the-ongoing-struggle-for-representation
http://palestineposterproject.org/poster/signs-of-visual-resistance-in-palestine
I did not load the actual paper just the intro.
Are you good with your papers being up at PPPA?
We hope you say yes. They are important additions to the history of the Palestine poster.
Viva Palestina!

Dear Dan,
Thanks for reaching out. I am very fond of and interested in your PP project.
Yes, you can, but only the second one that goes by the title of 'Signs
of Visual Resistance in Palestine', please. You can add the official
link that leads people with further interest to it:
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19436149.2015.1101874
The first one is actually the same paper under another title, but an
old student-like version; that is why it would be best to only have
the second one (with proper references etc.) in place on your website.
Best & wishing you good luck on your project,
Jaafar
PS if you have a mailinglist by chance, please include me.

Dear Jaafar,
I added your link, removed the other paper and put in the Abstract.
Not exactly sure what you meant by "with proper references etc."
Please look over the page and let me know what changes/additions if any you want.
We will make them immediately.
Who do you wish to see as the publisher? You? The univesity?
Thanks for the solidarity and no, we don't have a mailing list.
tadamon,
Dan

Dear Dan,
Thanks!
It was published in 'Middle East Critique, Vol. 25, No. 1, pag. 23-44
(academic journal)'. You can delete 'Belgium' and put the former in
place.
The formal publisher is Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group), so for the
category of publisher you could put in place the combination of:
'Jaafar Alloul (KU Leuven University, Belgium), Routledge (Taylor &
Francis Group)'. As such all the info is formally correct.
Many thanks,
Jaafar

We can't delete Belgium cuz place of publication is a required field in our software

We added this info under publisher
