SEGUER, Lucía. From Queer Normativity in the Nation Building to the Queer Political Resistance: a Debate on the Israeli-Palestinian Relation. univ.humanist. [online]. 2014, n.78, pp.261-280. ISSN 0120-4807.

In the following text I address the gap between the construction of acceptable queer subjects for the national narrative and, on the other hand, the theoretical approach of queer political resistance/ LGBT in Arab societies. To do this, I present contemporary debates on the impact of the war on terrorism on the American academic community. At the same time, this work intend to address the link between the LGBT hegemonic discourse and the American and Israeli civilizing projectsa and, due to this, the text accounts for the future of the LGBT element within the Palestinian-Israeli relation. Furthermore, the text questions the theoretical approach of the LGBT arab subjects who are commonly absent in academic reflection as possible political subjects. Doing this, I hope to problematize the ambivalence and the epistemological implications entailed in the use of Orientalism as a category, and the operations through which the academy builds truth about the subject.

Palavras-chave : queer theory; homonormativism; orientalism; LGBT / and queer; bodies and subjectivities; Palestinian-Israeli relation.
