This article contributes to the emerging literature on possibilities to disseminate agonistic narratives in seemingly deadlocked conflict settings. In this context, conflict parties’ existence is often perceived as being under threat, which makes it demanding to question the current societal order. However, even in the most protracted of conflicts, narratives exist that challenge concurring understandings of identity. Efforts to communicate alternative narratives of identity and memory are the focus of this study, which has two foci: First, it creates a theoretical understanding of agonistic narratives as challenging antagonistic memory constructions in conflicted societies. These agonistic narratives are seen as potentially destabilizing boundary constructions in understandings of the past. Second, it performs an empirical excavation into a contemporary practice of such boundary rupture. It presents results from a study with interviews and participatory observation with guides working within alternative tourism in Israel and Palestine who try to present alternative narratives of the conflict to their audience. The case study thus investigates agonistic elements in these encounters, underlining the mixed logics underpinning the existence of alternative narrative tours in intractable conflicts. Furthermore, it delves into facilitating and inhibiting conditions for carrying out alternative narratives in settings of intractable conflict.

探索冲突地区对抗性遭遇的前景：调查以色列/巴勒斯坦的双重叙事旅游

本文为关于在看似陷入僵局的冲突环境中传播对抗性叙事的可能性的新兴文献做出了贡献。在这种背景下，冲突各方的存在往往被视为受到威胁，这使得它要求质疑当前的社会秩序。然而，即使在最旷日持久的冲突中，也存在对认同的一致理解提出挑战的叙述。努力传达身份和记忆的替代叙事是本研究的重点，它有两个焦点：首先，它创造了一种理论理解，即对抗性叙事作为冲突社会中具有挑战性的对抗性记忆结构。这些对抗性的叙述被视为可能破坏对过去理解的边界建设。第二，它对这种边界破裂的当代实践进行了实证挖掘。它展示了一项研究的结果，该研究对在以色列和巴勒斯坦的替代旅游领域工作的导游进行了访谈和参与式观察，这些导游试图向观众展示冲突的替代叙述。因此，案例研究调查了这些遭遇中的对抗因素，强调了在难以解决的冲突中支持替代叙事之旅存在的混合逻辑。此外，它深入探讨了在难以解决的冲突环境中进行替代叙事的促进和抑制条件。它展示了一项研究的结果，该研究对在以色列和巴勒斯坦的替代旅游领域工作的导游进行了访谈和参与式观察，这些导游试图向观众展示冲突的替代叙述。因此，案例研究调查了这些遭遇中的对抗因素，强调了在难以解决的冲突中支持替代叙事之旅存在的混合逻辑。此外，它深入探讨了在难以解决的冲突环境中进行替代叙事的促进和抑制条件。它展示了一项研究的结果，该研究对在以色列和巴勒斯坦的替代旅游领域工作的导游进行了访谈和参与式观察，这些导游试图向观众展示冲突的替代叙述。因此，案例研究调查了这些遭遇中的对抗因素，强调了在难以解决的冲突中支持替代叙事之旅存在的混合逻辑。此外，它深入探讨了在难以解决的冲突环境中进行替代叙事的促进和抑制条件。
