There is a significant consensus on the differences in Palestinian responses towards the Israeli occupation that originate from the implications of national identity discourse and the division imposed by the catastrophe (nakbah) that befell Palestinians in 1948. While most critics and scholars tend to characterize Palestinian subjectivity as a dichotomy of insiders and outsiders, this study analyses the literary representations of Palestinian works that document, in particular, the complexity of Palestinian subjectivity after the June War and occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in 1967 and offers a new vision of Palestinian subjectivity that challenges this traditional dichotomy. The complexity of Palestinian subjectivity stems from Palestinians’ relationship with Palestine and its memories, creating overlaps and undercutting among subjectivities, allowing for an array of modes of subjectivities that are not limited to the traditional dichotomy of Palestinian “insiders” and “outsiders,” and constantly furthering boundaries among Palestinians as “them” and “us.” Further, informed by a psychoanalytic approach, the study examines the complex emerging subjectivity and explores the realities from which they originate. Among the works I examine are: Sahar Khalifeh’s Wild Thorns, Ghassan Kanafani's Return to Haifa, and Mourid Barghouthi's I Saw Ramallah. Some of the women characters in these works, I argue, negotiate a mediated space between insiders and outsiders, occupying a third category; other characters move fluidly between all three categories. This study invites further examination of the complexity of Palestinian subjectivity and the variety of responses to violence and oppression in Palestinian literature.
