Confronto e construção de identidades

narrativas de palestinos e israelenses no cenário do conflito

Abstract

This article explores the dynamics of political representations and imaginations within the framework of the ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis. The study delves into the realms of cultural, material, affective, and collective representations, as well as the significance of emotions and mentalities in the socio-political landscape. The primary
objective is to understand how passions, myths, and political emotions contribute to social reproduction, power relations, and political changes, particularly in the context of a prolonged conflict. The authors argue that an in-depth analysis of these elements is crucial for comprehending the construction and confrontation of identities within the Israeli-Palestinian scenario. By integrating the concepts of new political history, the paper sheds light on the complex interplay between historical narratives, cultural mentalities, and political ideologies, ultimately highlighting their impact on the social and political fabric of
the involved communities.
