Death as a process of subjectification seems to be lacking in the social sciences, particularly within feminist writings of engendered notions of agency and power. Since the beginning of the latest—and arguably the cruelest--Israeli/Egyptian siege and blockade of the Gaza Strip, the extraordinary physical violence imposed by Israeli policies characteristic of the Second Intifada and which have been rendered more effectively within the domain of the mundane—the ordinary—among Palestinians confined to the small occupied enclave. Although research has generated much insights into and questions of subaltern negotiations of power through various praxes of power among Palestinians in the Occupied Territories (particularly in the form of narratives), there has been a drastic omission of analyses on such narratives among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Indeed, these omissions represent a common, hegemonic portrayal whereby the Gaza Strip is collapsed into the West Bank as if the latter is by default Palestine. In order to problematize and expand upon such narratives from the West Bank, it is crucial to analyze narratives of self—which inform and are informed by official narratives of resistance—within the Gaza Strip. It is within the grounding of extraordinary and prolonged violence of Israeli occupation, death appears to become sanctified or “sacralized” in the form of the Shaheed and yet grounded in the mundane, the normal or ‘adi. It is through this sanctification of death that narratives of self-representation can open up the space to different questions of resistance and negotiations of power in its diverse manifestations.
