| Synopsis: |
This series of meditations on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict argues that it represents a struggle not as much about land and history as about space, time and memory. Juxtaposing entries from Jonathan Boyarin's diary wi th critical and theoretical articulations, this text shows not only the unfinished nature of anthropological endeavour, but also the author's personal stake in the ethical predicament of being a Jew at this point in history. It enacts rather than reports on Boyarin' process of error, pain, impatience, uncertainty, discovery, embarrassment, self-criticism, intellectual struggle, and dawning awareness. Ultimately, it gives the lie, as the Palestinian presence does in Israel, to any concept of a "finishedness" that successfully conceals its unruly and painful multiple process. |
