Searing images of suicide bombings and retaliatory strikes now define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for many Westerners, but television and print media are not the only visual realms in which the conflict is playing out. Even tourist postcards and greeting cards have been pressed into service as vehicles through which Israelis and Palestinians present competing visions of national selfhood and conflicting claims to their common homeland. In this book, Tim Jon Semmerling explores how Israelis and Palestinians have recently used postcards and greeting cards to present images of the national self, to build national awareness and reinforce nationalist ideologies, and to gain international acceptance. He discusses and displays the works of numerous postcard/greeting card manufacturers, artists, and photographers and identifies the symbolic choices in their postcards, how the choices are arranged into messages, what the messages convey and to whom, and who benefits and loses in these presentations of national self. Semmerling convincingly demonstrates that, far from being ephemeral, Israeli and Palestinian postcards constitute an important arena of struggle over visual signs and the power to produce reality.

This dissertation borrows from Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theories to explain the recent visual images being made in Israel and the Palestinian Territories by both Israelis and Palestinians. With a focus on postcards and greeting cards predominantly found among the tourist market place in late 1998 and early 1999, I argue that these types of tourist bric-a-brac should not be too readily dismissed. Rather, these postcards and greeting cards are practices and performances of national identity display and political claims used to buttress present ideologies, to affect knowledge, to build national awareness, and to gain international acceptance. Many written works have looked at the images of the area made by Europeans prior to 1948, however this work looks at what images have been made recently and are currently being made today by Israelis and Palestinians about themselves, their homelands, their cultures, and their nations. This work identifies the symbolic choices in these postcards, how the symbolic choices are arranged into messages, what the symbolic messages convey, to whom the symbolic messages are directed, and who benefits and who loses in these presentations of the national-selves. Each chapter discusses the works of particular postcard/greeting card manufacturers, artists, and/or photographers; and over one hundred postcards/greeting cards are analyzed. Not only do I warn that these seemingly banal and ubiquitous objects are really intended to develop knowledge about Israelis and Palestinians in order to make national gains, but I point out that they are evidence that semiotic struggle is another facet of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

Something special about this country? Gaza beach, 1985. An Israeli policeman is looking at my passport. It has several Israeli visas - 1981, '82 and '83 - and here I am again. Yes! I started to write poetry on my second day here. It's like loads of places and like nowhere else in the world. It raises so many questions. About God. About history. About people. About love. And hate. I could change religion here. Get married. Live here. Honestly, anything could happen. Actually, I didn't say anything. But I did wonder. This book covers the last three decades of the history of the Holy Land - Israel, Palestine - from the perspective a sometime kibbutz volunteer, English teacher and tourist with an interest in history, psychology and religion. The result is something like a journal of a journey towards understanding the roots of the conflict in the land, its people and its faiths. It is a search for peace, love and, occasionally, cheap laughs, that combines poetry, fiction, travelogue, journalism, theatre and theology to try and make sense of a conflict that few claim to understand or feel optimistic about. It has the chutzpah, the cheek, to try and offer both.

Writing into the wounds and reverberations of the Israel/Palestine conflict, Philip Metres’ fourth book of poems, Shrapnel Maps, is at once elegiac and activist, an exploratory surgery to extract the slivers of cartography through palimpsest and erasure. A wedding in Toura, a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, uneasy interactions between Arab and Jewish neighbors in University Heights, the expulsion of Palestinians in Jaffa, another bombing in Gaza: Shrapnel Maps traces the hurt and tender places, where political noise turns into the voices of Palestinians and Israelis. Working with documentary flyers, vintage postcards, travelogues, cartographic language, and first person testimonies, Shrapnel Maps ranges from monologue sonnets to prose vignettes, polyphonics to blackouts, indices to simultaneities, as Palestinians and Israelis long for justice and peace, for understanding and survival.
