Rachel Busbridge (2020), for example, tracks ideas of ‘territorial exclusivity’ to Israeli incursions in and around historic sites with dual Israeli and Palestinian heritage and with the Israeli authorities using these sites to mobilise ‘mythical pasts and redemptive futures’.…”

‘Doom’, ‘danger’ and ‘disregard’ are palpable sentiments in recent writing by historical geographers and give the subfield some decidedly political intonations. These three words have diverse, disquieting and expectant connotations and are tracked in this report through clusters of research on colonialism, racism, decolonisation, climate change, Earth history and political reaction and populism. This range of historical work within geography provokes more general questions about how the discipline, generally, sees itself today and at a time of profound uncertainty about the meaning and direction of history. At this time, it is easy to be despondent but vital to hope and work for change.

“…On the one hand, we draw inspiration from the literature tackling place-based cultural activism 11 to investigate the importance of grassroots practices and their investment -as well as embeddedness -in specific sites. On the other hand, we engage with theorizations of issues of territorial control, 12 originating in the domains of political geography and political science, as well as of settler colonial studies, 13 with an aim to contextualize the importance of space-based policies articulated within the land-centred colonialism in Israel/Palestine. Our approach is based on the relatively old, yet still insufficiently explored, work of Baruch Kimmerling, 14 produced to describe the Israeli colonial project in the region.…”

This article engages with the material geographies of colonialism in Israel/Palestine by looking at the site-specific cultural activities in Iqrit (Israel), a Christian-Arab village depopulated during the 1948 war in the region. We investigate the importance of material infrastructure – and material, bodily encounters with the site – as a basis for the place-based activist memory-work, as well as exposing the ways in which such activities contribute to the advancement of ‘the politics of presence’, understood as a manifestation of a continuous resilience vis-à-vis the discriminatory policy of the state. Our argumentation focuses on the importance of physical presence in specific geographical areas, shedding light on how place-based activities may contravene the expressed state policy by increasing the fluidity of the territory, creating spaces of contestation in which the traditional understandings of state authority partly dissolve. It also explores how the material reconfigurations of the place, and emotional-bodily investment in it, contribute to the semantic instability of the site, turning the place-based memory-work into a future-oriented project with important political aspirations.
