Zusammenfassung:Explores how the expansion of border spaces shaped contemporary Palestinian and Israeli literature and filmAnalyses both literature and film, in Arabic and HebrewExamines the cultural impact of expanding border spaces (checkpoints and walls) in the post-Oslo periodConsiders how border spaces have affected both form and genreArgues that literary and filmic engagement with borders reveals their deceptive qualities and contests their powerSince the early 1990s, Israel has greatly expanded a system checkpoints, walls and other barriers in the West Bank and Gaza that restrict Palestinian movement. Israel/Palestine examines how authors and filmmakers have grappled with the spread of these borders. Focusing on the works of Elia Suleiman, Raba'i al-Madhoun, Ghassan Kanafani, Sami Michael and Sayed Kashua, it traces how political engagement in literature and film has shifted away from previously common paradigms of resistance and coexistence and has become reorganised around these now ubiquitous physical barriers. Depictions of these borders interrogate the notion that such spaces are impenetrable and unbreakable, imagine distinct forms of protest, and redefine the relationship between cultural production and political engagement
