Israel has recently succeeded in presenting itself as an attractive haven for LGBT constituencies. In this article, we investigate how this affective traction operates in practice, along with the ambiguous entanglement of normativity and antinormativity as expressed in the agency of some gay Palestinian Israelis vis-à-vis the Israeli homonationalist project. For this purpose, we analyze the documentaryOriented(2015), produced by the British director Jake Witzenfeld together with the Palestinian collective Qambuta Productions. More specifically, the aim of the article is twofold. From a theoretical perspective, we seek to demonstrate how Foucault's notion of heterotopia provides a useful framework for understanding the spatial component of Palestinian Israeli experience, and the push and pull of conflicted identity projects more generally. Empirically, we illustrate how Israel is a homotopia, an inherently ambivalent place that is simultaneously utopian and dystopian, and that generates what we call vicious belonging.

作为同托邦的以色列：语言、空间和恶性归属

以色列最近成功地将自己展示为对 LGBT 选区有吸引力的避风港。在这篇文章中，我们调查了这种情感牵引在实践中是如何运作的，以及一些巴勒斯坦以色列同性恋者的代理机构表达的规范性和反规范性的模棱两可的纠缠与以色列的同性民族主义项目。为此，我们分析了纪录片面向（2015 年），由英国导演 Jake Witzenfeld 与巴勒斯坦集体 Qambuta Productions 共同制作。更具体地说，本文的目的是双重的。从理论的角度来看，我们试图证明福柯的异托邦概念如何为理解巴勒斯坦以色列经验的空间组成部分以及更普遍的冲突身份项目的推拉提供了一个有用的框架。凭经验，我们说明以色列是如何成为同托邦的，一个天生矛盾的地方，同时是乌托邦和反乌托邦，并产生了我们所谓的恶性归属。（代码转换、异托邦、同性民族主义、规范性、洗粉、性欲、空间）*
