Join Professor Nadia Abu El-Haj for her talk, \u201cIlliberal War: Trauma, Intent, and the Gaza Genocide,\u201d<\/a> on Monday, Sep. 22, 4-5:30 p.m.in Celeste Theatre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this talk, Abu El-Haj will explore the operation of a trauma imaginary as it works to recuperate the Israeli state and its citizens as \u201cliberal subjects.\u201d She begins by tracing a trauma discourse that references not October 7 per se, but the originary trauma of the Holocaust as expiation for Israeli-state violence. She will then juxtapose that discourse with the self-representation of soldiers as they film and celebrate their own cruelty and acts of destruction. In so doing, Abu El-Haj sketches a configuration of an Israeli-citizen-subject who diverges in cardinal ways from the (traumatized) \u201cshooting and crying\u201d figure of old, and discuss how, from this perspective, we might reframe basic suppositions regarding \u201cthe genocidaire\u201d that developed in the shadow of Hannah Arendt\u2019s Eichmann in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
