As the “abbreviation that telescopes history into a moment” Cadava, 1992, p. 101),photography “is always related to something other than itself” (Cadava, 1992, p. 100).But rather than being material evidences that speak for themselves, photographs aremore like “silent witnesses” in relation to this “other”, and to the reality that definesthe context of their production and reception. By listening to various voices andstories around and about images, Yasmine Eid-Sabbagh’s A Photographic Conversationfrom Burj al-Shamali Camp (2001–present) — a multi-layered project developed overthe time span of more than 10 years — is trying to get photographs ‘to speak’ aboutthis reality, in this case that of Burj al-Shamali, a Palestinian refugee camp in theSouth of Lebanon. Combining archival, historical, and anthropological practices,as well as a variety of artistic forms of expression — from publications and curatedexhibitions with a group of adolescents to Eid-Sabbagh’s most recent performancesand lectures that include a sporadic display of videos and historical photographs this project is primarily a tribute to the individual, in that it is the individual’s actionsand convictions that contribute to the formation of a meaningful community. At thesame time, it examines socio-political circumstances and dynamics while cherishingintimacy and personal recollections.

This article explores what Grace Lee Boggs called {r}evolution—the horizontal construction of autonomous power from below by multiple subjects—in the context of anthropogenic climate change. This is a decolonial uprising from Haiti to Detroit against petrocracy, or the mutually reinforcing rule of fossil fuels and monotheism. I pursue a decolonial reading of the Holocene/Anthropocene geological epochs through an anarchaeological, visual, and discourse analysis of the excavations at Tell-es-Sultan, asserted to be the site of the biblical Jericho, to reconsider the “human.” The article interacts present-day, on-site conditions at the Palestinian refugee camp ‘Ein-as-Sultan with Kathleen Kenyon’s famous excavations (1952–1958), her discoveries and the museology associated with them, and the geopolitical and religious claims made for the site. I conclude by analyzing how “Detroit” is becoming the floating name for the non-continuous spaces of the displaced world, where displacement, drought, and counterinsurgency intermingle to deadly effect.

A Site

Through a review of theoretical literature on the topics of space, power, and identity as well as literature on the Palestinian refugee situation in Lebanon, this research paper uses a critical approach to space in order to examine how Palestinian identity is formed within the specific context of refugee camps in Lebanon. The refugee camp has been used by the Lebanese state as a disciplinary tool to contain identities, but it has also served as a site for the displaced Palestinians to construct meaningful lives and create new places and identities. This paper will specifically examine the way in which a marginalized collective identity as well as an identity of resistance has been formed and renegotiated using culture, memory, and militancy by displaced Palestinian refugees living within the boundaries of camps in Lebanon.
