Nayrouz Abu Hatoum, 2021.
In this paper examines different treatments of the future in Palestine through four scenes. Nayrouz Abu Hatoum shows that despite the violence that the Israeli state inflicts on Palestinian daily life, which affects their ability to imagine something else outside the immediate everyday, Palestinian struggle for liberation is always already future-oriented. The four scenes Nayrouz Abu Hatoum analyzes suggest that the future for Palestinians resides in the working of the imaginative in which the future might evoke a past or haunt the present. Thus, when read closely, Palestinian temporality can be viewed as cyclical, not linear.
