“…There has been important and growing research showing how the body has been a central target of Israeli violence (Shalhoub‐Kevorkian :116, 124; Shalhoub‐Kevorkian et al ), but also a field over which, as a result of occupation and resistance, gender orders are destabilized or preserved (Amireh :758–760; Hasso :29) . Particularly in a context where, at least since the late 1980s, the increased physical violence of the occupation exacerbated resistance, martyrdom and defiance as masculine rites of passage into adulthood, families responded by sanctioning women's activism, and their bodily exposure in public, as dangerous and inappropriate (Peteet :44–45).…”

In this article I interrogate what is lost in war and displacement through the affective memories of Palestinian refugee women who remember through their body and what their body has endured. I reflect on how bodies and spaces connect and disconnect at violent junctures, and on the vital forces vulnerability and precariousness ignite in displacement. Throughout the geography of separations and shifting shelters, refugee women engaged in place-making, transforming the transience enforced by their continuous evictions into the permanence of home, not as a static identity-place-nation, but as a site of dynamic affective, social relations and connections. Read through Michael Hardt's metaphor of "social muscles", as bodily and emotional drives that blur the boundaries of intimate and social spaces, affective memories can serve as a political horizon that redesigns, in Arendtian terms, the love for the nation as love for concrete relations and for existing in the world.

“…Yet, early studies by Barth (1959) in Pakistan and Bourdieu (1977: 171ff. Boellstorff 2005) notwithstanding, to date transformations of Muslim masculinities -such as those observed in the context of evangelical Christianity and Hindu nationalism -and their articulation with women's lives (see, e.g., Amireh 2003;Ring 2006) have eluded inquiry (for exceptions, see Harris 2004;Peteet 1994;Verkaaik 2004). Research on masculinities (see, e.g., Janson 2008;Marsden 2007;Peletz 1994;Walle 2004) and sexuality (e.g.…”
