“…Some investigations into the framework of the state of exception also discuss the way in which it produces rather than represses political agency (Bryant & Hatay, 2011;Constantinou, 2008). There are also comparative examinations that have been utilized to assess the Northern Cypriot status as an unrecognized state (Isachenko, 2012;Ronnen, 2010), as well as ethnographic introspections on the convoluted ways in which it has been constructed as a polity (Navaro-Yashin, 2003;Papadakis, 2005).…”

a b s t r a c tThe space of exception has been extensively discussed as a location in which governing technologies are deployed through the suspension and manipulation of the norm. The scholarship on the subject has underscored the ways in which various localities can be encamped, which alludes to the dynamic in which spaces of exception can be shaped through the application of various means of sovereign violence that produces new and unpredictable norms. Building on this literature, the article analyzes the ways in which the exception is intentionally used in order to spatially construct the norm. Two case studies are discussed: Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights and the Turkish occupation of Northern Cyprus. The article's main aim is to show how the state of emergency, which provided the justification for deploying exceptional meansdoccupation and subsequent colonizationdwas domesticated. By domestication I mean a situation whereby the state of emergency is not fully negated, but rather rearticulated and redeployed in order to reshape the space and transform it so that it is concomitantly both threatening and normal. I go on to show, however, how despite the processes of spatial normalization the state of exception always resurfaces.This article examines how occupying forces deploy exceptional means to reconstruct contested territories so as to normalize and in thus way fortify their presence. Analyzing two case studiesdthe Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights and the Turkish occupation of Northern CyprusdI show that the objective of the normalization process has in each case been different. Israel normalized its presence in the Golan in order to incorporate this region into its own territory, while Turkey has been normalizing its presence in Northern Cyprus in order to craft it as Turkish without fully integrating it into its own body politic. However, and despite these differences, a similar rationale has in both cases led the core statesdIsrael and Turkeydto employ a twofold normalization strategy during the conquest and subsequent occupation.On the one hand, the core states accentuated the geostrategic risks (real or constructed) embodied in the territories captured and presented them as constituting a threat that could be dealt with only through the imposition of a state of emergency and the deployment of exceptional means (e.g., ethnic cleansing, widespread destruction). On the other hand, and simultaneously, the core states strove to transform these contested spaces and reproduce them as normal in order to render them non-threatening.In other words, the core states present the spaces they had occupied as both an exception (a threat that needs to be controlled and managed) and simultaneously as normal. Examining how the strategies employed by the occupying states are informed by this tension, I show that the incongruity cannot be fully managed. The fact that these territories are colonized and are therefore constituted as spaces of exception is ultimately re-exposed.Following a brief literature r...

“…Against the backdrop of international criticism and a declining human rights ranking, this study explores civil society organisations' discourse on children's rights in Gaza and the West bank (including East Jerusalem), collectively the Occupied Palestinian Territories (opt). As the following discussion reveals, this is a challenging context because whilst there is a consensus, and a clear statement by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, that Israel has obligations to Palestinian children in the opt, the Israeli Government denies this and refuses to provide information to the UN for the purposes of monitoring the crc (see Gross, 2007, Roberts, 1989, Ronen, 2011and Shany, 2016. It is a topic deserving of attention for, as the UN asserts, 'the Universal Declaration of Human Rights … [and] Convention on the Rights of the Child … are applicable to and must be respected in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem' (hrc, 2019a: 1).…”

“This study analyses civil society organisations’ (cso s’) discourse on children’s rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (opt). This is a troubled context, for Israel – the ‘State Party’ to the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (crc), disputes that its obligations extend to the opt. In consequence, there has been a dearth of official data and scholarly attention to the situation. Discourse analysis of cso s’ reports to the UN’s monitoring mechanism, the Universal Periodic Review (upr), shows children are affected by a raft of violations including: sexual abuse, violence and inadequate access to health and education. The Israeli state’s engagement with the upr, whilst denying responsibility for the opt, raises questions about legitimation and performativity. The pathologies are compounded by state repression of civil society meaning that the upr is a singular means of highlighting children’s rights abuses in the Occupied Territories.

C'est pour vous donner des larmes, Depuis trop longtemps elles ont séché, Les homes n'oublient pas les armes, Quand ils ne savent plus pleurer' Coule pluie, coule sur nos fronts." Jean-Jacques Goldman/ Hamid Cheriet (Idir) Guarda sempre Ítaca em teu pensamento. É teu destino aí chegar. Mas não apresses absolutamente tua viagem. É melhor que dure muitos anos e que, já velho, ancores na ilha, rico com tudo que ganhaste no caminho, sem esperar que Ítaca te dê riqueza.Ítaca deu-te a bela viagem.
