This article identifies playful antagonism as a defining mode of rare Israeli‐Palestinian encounters in Israeli settlement businesses. It is based on ethnographic work primarily in an Israeli settlement supermarket where the lowest‐paid workers are mostly occupied Palestinians. This playful antagonism characterizes heated Israeli‐Palestinian political exchanges as well as Palestinian workers’ mockery of their settler bosses and customers, through gestures and jokes alike. These practices navigate an incongruity between the high‐stakes antagonisms of Israeli settler‐colonization and the banality of the workplace. Rather than preventing more “serious” antagonism, this playful antagonism is itself serious, enacting and contesting existential struggles over settler‐colonization, in a context saturated with suspicion and risk to Palestinian livelihoods. Thus, rather than framing humor as standing outside of or transcending political domination and antagonism, this article frames humor as a way of enacting these forms of settler‐native politics. It thus stages a fresh conversation between the recent literature on settler colonialism in Palestine, which has understandably focused on Israeli domination but ignored Israeli‐Palestinian contact and humor, and the literature on humor, which has often ignored scaled‐up forms of power and domination. The article thus contributes to a political anthropology of humor as intertwined with power and domination.

与对抗者玩耍:以色列-巴勒斯坦市场遭遇中的幽默政治

本文将嬉戏的对抗视为在以色列定居点企业中罕见的以色列-巴勒斯坦遭遇的一种定义模式。它是基于人种学的工作,主要是在以色列定居点的一家超市中,在那里收入最低的工人大多是巴勒斯坦人。这种顽皮的对立体现了以巴之间激烈的政治往来,以及巴勒斯坦工人通过手势和笑话对定居者老板和顾客的嘲弄。这些做法在以色列定居者殖民化的高利益对抗与工作场所的平庸之间产生了矛盾。这种嬉戏的对抗本身不是严重的对抗,它本身是严重的,在充满怀疑和对巴勒斯坦生计构成风险的情况下,对定居者殖民化进行了生存和斗争。因此,本文并没有将幽默形容为站在政治统治和对抗之外或超越了政治统治和对抗,而是将幽默描述为制定这些形式的定居者本国政治的方式。因此,它在最近有关巴勒斯坦定居者殖民主义的文献之间进行了崭新的对话,这可以理解地侧重于以色列的统治,却忽视了以色列-巴勒斯坦的接触和幽默,而关于幽默的文献则常常忽略了权力和统治的扩大形式。 。因此,这篇文章有助于幽默的政治人类学与权力和统治交织在一起。因此,它在最近有关巴勒斯坦定居者殖民主义的文献之间进行了崭新的对话,这可以理解地侧重于以色列的统治,却忽视了以色列-巴勒斯坦的接触和幽默,而关于幽默的文献则常常忽略了权力和统治的扩大形式。 。因此,这篇文章有助于幽默的政治人类学与权力和统治交织在一起。因此,它在最近有关巴勒斯坦定居者殖民主义的文献之间进行了崭新的对话,这可以理解地侧重于以色列的统治,却忽视了以色列-巴勒斯坦的接触和幽默,而关于幽默的文献则常常忽略了权力和统治的扩大形式。 。因此,这篇文章有助于幽默的政治人类学与权力和统治交织在一起。
