On July 2, 2014, a Palestinian teenager, Mohammed Abu Khdeir, was brutally killed. Although his murderers eventually confessed, the month following Mohammed's death was full of indecision about the crime and its perpetrators. During this period, Israeli and Palestinian publics latched onto Mohammed's selfies as intimate touchstones for comprehending who he was, what led to his death, and what subsequent action should be taken. This archive of images, however, inspired different understandings of Mohammed; among Israelis and Palestinians, conflictual voices emerged from the same pictures, making incompatible testimonials about Mohammed's identity and his victimhood. Central to the politics surrounding Mohammed's death were how such personal modes of perception—hearing him, seeing him, sensing him—inspired and legitimated radically different political claims and ambitions. Pausing on the ways that individuals grasped Mohammed in his images, in this article I unravel the cultural genealogies and social affordances that affected Israeli and Palestinian forms of visual apprehension. I argue that the most seemingly mundane moments of individual encounter—when Israelis and Palestinians caught sight of Mohammed at everyday digital interfaces—substantially inflected political landscapes and the contours of social understanding, laying the groundwork for further conflicts, including Israel's 2014 invasion of Gaza that occurred a month after his death.

熟悉的像素:想象以色列和巴勒斯坦的死者与政治

2014年7月2日,一名巴勒斯坦少年Mohammed Abu Khdeir遭到残酷杀害。尽管他的凶手最终认罪,但穆罕默德死后的第二个月对犯罪及其肇事者犹豫不决。在此期间,以色列和巴勒斯坦公众将穆罕默德的自拍照锁定为了解他是谁,导致他死亡的原因以及应采取的后续行动的亲密试金石。然而,这些图像档案激发了人们对穆罕默德的不同理解。在以色列人和巴勒斯坦人中间,同一张照片中出现了冲突的声音,使得有关穆罕默德的身份和受害人的证词不相容。围绕穆罕默德之死的政治核心在于这种个人的感知方式-听见他,看到他,感触到他-激发并合法化了截然不同的政治主张和野心。暂停人们对穆罕默德影像的把握方式,在本文中,我将介绍影响以色列和巴勒斯坦视觉恐惧形式的文化家谱和社会福利。我认为,个人相遇中最看似平凡的时刻-当以色列人和巴勒斯坦人在日常数字接口上看到穆罕默德时-实质性地影响了政治面貌和社会理解的轮廓,为进一步冲突奠定了基础,包括以色列2014年入侵加沙时发生在他去世一个月后。[ 在本文中,我将介绍影响以色列和巴勒斯坦形式的视觉恐惧感的文化家谱和社会福利。我认为,个人相遇中最看似平凡的时刻-当以色列人和巴勒斯坦人在日常数字接口上看到穆罕默德时-实质性地影响了政治面貌和社会理解的轮廓,为进一步冲突奠定了基础,包括以色列2014年入侵加沙时发生在他去世一个月后。[ 在本文中,我将介绍影响以色列和巴勒斯坦形式的视觉恐惧感的文化家谱和社会福利。我认为,个人相遇中最看似平凡的时刻-当以色列人和巴勒斯坦人在日常数字接口上看到穆罕默德时-实质性地影响了政治面貌和社会理解的轮廓,为进一步冲突奠定了基础,包括以色列2014年入侵加沙时发生在他去世一个月后。[ 为进一步的冲突打下基础,包括以色列2014年入侵加沙地带,发生在他去世后一个月。[ 为进一步的冲突打下基础,包括以色列2014年入侵加沙地带,发生在他去世后一个月。[死亡和垂死,调解,视觉,性,以色列/巴勒斯坦]
