“…Unlike the group process within the course which took place a year before in a different political context (see: Ben David & Idan, 2019; Ben David et al, 2017) in which the group discourse transformed from categorical and defensive to more complex and inclusive, the analysis of this year revealed that the group dynamic resembled an escalating circle. As it appeared, while the intensity of the discussion in terms of content (for example, surfacing of traumatic experiences and controversial issues) increased throughout the process, the rhetoric of the group discourse remained the same.…”

“…This understudied form of dialogue can be mainly found in the field of peace education (e.g., Salomon, 2004) and in recent initiatives (Rosenak, Leshem Zinger, & Isaacks, 2014). It has great potential in exploring the psychological implications of intergroup conflict on ingroup members' subjectivity (Ben David et al, 2017), particularly in how internal political discourse evolves within social groups (Ben David & Idan, 2019).…”

Recent years have witnessed a significant escalation in Israel's relations with the Palestinians, as well as in the internal political divide and discourse between left and right. The current research asked how these processes of escalation that occur on the sociopolitical level came into play in interpersonal political discussions held among a group of Jewish‐Israeli young adults that partook in an annual academic course exposing them to Palestinian narratives, right after the 2014 war in Gaza. Particularly, it demonstrated how internal political discourse served as a strategy to cope with threats to moral perception of social identity. Critical discourse analysis conducted on transcripts of the process revealed that the internal political discourse between left wing and right wing served as a platform for group members to establish fight/flight practices within the group discussion. Research findings discussed in light of the sociopolitical context highlight how the focus on the political Other—left or right—drew attention from the Palestinian Other and by that from the moral consequences of harm doing.

Previous research on language, sexuality, and affect has focused primarily on the presence rather than the absence of desire. This analysis investigates the linguistic manifestations of non-desire on two subreddits: r/AskReddit and r/Asexual. Contrasting asexual redditors’ responses to threads such as When and how did you realize you were asexual? with straight, allosexual redditors’ responses to a thread titled Straight redditors, when did you realize you were straight?, I find that allosexual and asexual redditors’ responses differ in agency and emotionality. While straight allosexual redditors attribute their lack of homosexual desire to factors other than themselves, asexual redditors attribute their lack of allosexual desire to their own identity. Additionally, asexual redditors frame their realizations of their asexuality as processual and emotional, using feel and felt more often than straight allosexual redditors’ responses. These results expose the importance of emotionality – including lack of desire – as a resource for asexual identity construction.
