| Zusammenfassung: | In The Israeli Radical Left, Fiona Wright traces the dramatic as well as the mundane paths taken by radical Jewish Israeli leftwing activists, whose critique of the Israeli state has left them uneasily navigating an increasingly polarized public atmosphere. This activism is manifested in direct action solidarity movements, the critical stances of some Israeli human rights and humanitarian NGOs, and less well-known initiatives that promote social justice within Jewish Israel as a means of undermining the overwhelming support for militarism and nationalism that characterizes Israeli domestic politics. In chronicling these attempts at solidarity with those most injured by Israeli policy, Wright reveals dissent to be a fraught negotiation of activists' own citizenship in which they feel simultaneously repulsed and responsible.Based on eighteen months of fieldwork, The Israeli Radical Left provides a nuanced account of various kinds of Jewish Israeli antioccupation and antiracist activism as both spaces of subversion and articulations of complicity. Wright does not level complicity as an accusation, but rather recasts the concept as an analysis of the impurity of ethical and political relations and the often uncomfortable ways in which this makes itself felt during moments of attempted solidarity. She imparts how activists persistently underline their own feelings of complicity and the impossibility of reconciling their principles with the realities of their everyday lives, despite the fact that the activism in which they engage specifically aims to challenge Jewish Israeli citizens' participation in state violence. The first full ethnographic account of the Israeli radical left, Wright's book explores the ethics and politics of Jewish Israeli activists who challenge the violence perpetrated by their state and in their name |

| spelling | Wright, Fiona Verfasser aut The Israeli Radical Left An Ethics of Complicity Fiona Wright Philadelphia University of Pennsylvania Press [2018] © 2018 1 online resource 8 illus txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier The Ethnography of Political Violence Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 23. Nov 2018) In The Israeli Radical Left, Fiona Wright traces the dramatic as well as the mundane paths taken by radical Jewish Israeli leftwing activists, whose critique of the Israeli state has left them uneasily navigating an increasingly polarized public atmosphere. This activism is manifested in direct action solidarity movements, the critical stances of some Israeli human rights and humanitarian NGOs, and less well-known initiatives that promote social justice within Jewish Israel as a means of undermining the overwhelming support for militarism and nationalism that characterizes Israeli domestic politics. In chronicling these attempts at solidarity with those most injured by Israeli policy, Wright reveals dissent to be a fraught negotiation of activists' own citizenship in which they feel simultaneously repulsed and responsible.Based on eighteen months of fieldwork, The Israeli Radical Left provides a nuanced account of various kinds of Jewish Israeli antioccupation and antiracist activism as both spaces of subversion and articulations of complicity. Wright does not level complicity as an accusation, but rather recasts the concept as an analysis of the impurity of ethical and political relations and the often uncomfortable ways in which this makes itself felt during moments of attempted solidarity. She imparts how activists persistently underline their own feelings of complicity and the impossibility of reconciling their principles with the realities of their everyday lives, despite the fact that the activism in which they engage specifically aims to challenge Jewish Israeli citizens' participation in state violence. The first full ethnographic account of the Israeli radical left, Wright's book explores the ethics and politics of Jewish Israeli activists who challenge the violence perpetrated by their state and in their name In English Anthropology Folklore Jewish Studies Linguistics Political Science Public Policy Government, Resistance to Moral and ethical aspects Israel Government, Resistance to Israel Psychological aspects Left-wing extremists Israel Political activists Israel Antimilitarismus (DE-588)4281386-4 gnd rswk-swf Nahostkonflikt (DE-588)4041158-8 gnd rswk-swf Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf Linksradikalismus (DE-588)4136650-5 gnd rswk-swf Aktivist (DE-588)4434804-6 gnd rswk-swf Israel (DE-588)4027808-6 gnd rswk-swf Israel (DE-588)4027808-6 g Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Linksradikalismus (DE-588)4136650-5 s Aktivist (DE-588)4434804-6 s Antimilitarismus (DE-588)4281386-4 s Nahostkonflikt (DE-588)4041158-8 s 1\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.9783/9780812295351 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
