Murabitat al-Aqsa: the new virgins of Palestinian resistance

Este trabalho apresenta, analisa e discute, a partir de lentes feministas pós-coloniais, a atuação das mulheres palestinas no âmbito das principais organizações que compõem o movimento de libertação nacional da Palestina. Trabalha-se com a hipótese de que embora esse movimento seja único (i.e. almeje o mesmo fim), há diferentes interpretações sobre como a “questão nacional” poderia ser resolvida. Logo, as mulheres que se filiam a essas diferentes organizações refletem essas diferenças, influenciando a forma como Fatah, Hamas, Jihad Islâmica Palestina (JIP) e Movimento Islâmico de Israel (MII) atuam para alcançar seus objetivos e tendo suas pautas, ao mesmo tempo, influenciadas pelas diferentes agendas dessas organizações. Mesmo que o objetivo específico seja a análise das ações das mulheres palestinas no âmbito dessas quatro principais organizações, objetiva-se também de maneira mais geral situar a atuação dessas mulheres no debate acadêmico sobre a agência feminina muçulmana.

This paper explores recent transformations in Islamic pilgrimage patterns in Israel/Palestine. The meanings assigned to traditional Muslim sites, and the conduct and practices of the dwindling number of pilgrims who visit them, are the struggling victims of strategic socio-political erasures caused by dramatic geo-political changes. Since 1948, the hegemony of the State of Israel has perversely politicized sacred Islamic sites beyond their traditional religious functions. Muslim pilgrims, for their part, engage in rituals that have become a counterweight to Israeli ethnocratic imperatives. The reconstruction of an Islamic pilgrimage map presents a shared imaginative landscape as lieux de mémoire that undergird political and social resistance. The dogged survival of Islamic pilgrimage comprises a counterweight to state power. Muslims fight to affirm Palestinian identity, reclaim heritage spaces as anchors for identity, and actively engage with land claiming.
