SUMMARY:Mohammed El-Kurd: “Bombs\, women\, children\, etc”: Humanization\, Victimhood\, and the Politics of Appeal
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, well-meaning journalists and cultural workers used a humanizing framework in their representation of oppressed people\, in hopes of countering the traditional portrayal of the Palestinian as a “terrorist.” Within this framework\, a perfect victimhood emerged as an ethnocentric prerequisite for sympathy and solidarity\, often over-emphasizing oppressed people’s nonviolence\, humane professions\, and disabilities. In “Bombs\, women\, children\, etc.”: Humanization\, Victimhood\, and the Politics of Appeal\, El-Kurd unpacks the impact such practices of “defanging\,” which reproduce the mainstream cultural order in which Palestinians are robbed of their agency\, right to self-determination\, and\, ultimately\, their humanity. \n\nCo-presented by the Middle Eastern Studies Program at Bard College.  \nLocation: RKC 103\, Bard College\n \n
