Israel’s occupation has been transformed in the age of digital 
technologies. Today, all of the political players in the theater of 
occupation rely on digital camera technologies and viral image circuits 
for political claims making. Within the Jewish Israeli population, the 
increased reliance on digital photographic technologies, and the spread 
of photographic aptitudes, has grown alongside the right-wing 
radicalization. This paper considers the interrelationship between these 
political and technological processes, to consider the import of new 
visualization technologies, photographic practices, and image-circuits, 
on the terms of Israeli rule in in the Palestinian territories.


Dr. Rebecca Stein’s research studies linkages between cultural and 
political processes in Israel in relation to its military occupation and 
the history of Palestinian dispossession. She is the author of (with Adi 
Kuntsman) Digital Militarism: Israel's Occupation in the Social Media 
Age (Stanford University Press, 2015), which studies the interplay 
between new media and military occupation in the Israel/Palestine 
context. She continues to work on the way new communication technologies 
are meditating the everyday Israeli relationship to its military 
occupation -- including the ways such technologies are changing 
practices and logics of military 'counterinsurgency', altering the 
everyday terms of soldiering, changing the Israeli civilian relationship 
to Palestinians under occupation, and remaking the terrain of human 
rights work and anti-occupation activism within Israel.


This seminar is organized by gate48-critical Israeli’s in the 
Netherlands and
