Sažetak

Feminist theory has drawn attention to the centrality of gender in
the formation of national identities. However, the Palestinian crisis
cannot be understood solely through the gendered lens of national
identities or national narratives; rather, the problem is
geographical: is there any place for the Palestinian to be? The
phenomenon of Palestinian "disappearance" in any form other that
the specter of the terrorist is thus not simply a discursive effect that
might be addressed through more positive or complicated
representations of Palestinian presence; disappearance is also the
corporeal effect of placelessness, whereby the body with no place is
pressured to disappear.
