This two-year project builds a digital platform and a theoretical infrastructure to support critical research that interrogates the false equivalences that have long structured discussions of Palestine and Israel, particularly those frameworks of dialogue, coexistence, and mutual understanding that obscure profound differences in power, history, and political reality. An experiment in collaborative thinking that focuses on divergence, dissensus, and failed conversations, the project aims to provide broad insights for scholars thinking about histories of conflict and political crisis. Beginning from the premise that collaboration can be productive while containing dissensus, rupture, and refusal, our project does not aim to restore consensus, but to make visible the fractures within the dominant narratives about what relation should look like. Our core methodological intervention is thinking of dissensus (as conceptualized by Rancière) as both a mode of reading and a framework for collaboration. When working across Arabic and Hebrew literatures, languages that do not occupy equivalent positions within the political and cultural landscape of Palestine and Israel, and where Arabic bears the ongoing effects of dispossession and settler-colonial violence, dissensus offers a way to remain attentive to tension without prematurely resolving it. Rather than smoothing over moments of refusal or breakdown, our project seeks to make them visible, trace their contours, and learn from what they reveal about the limit of relation itself. We bring this approach into digital space through the Online Cultural and Historic Research Platform, a relational database platform that allows us to map not just translations, encounters, and collaborations, but also refusals, silences, and structures of linguistic erasure that shape the encounter between Arabic and Hebrew, treating these as meaningful sites of dissensus. Within the unique environment of the Neubauer Collegium we believe that we can make space for forms of intellectual risk-taking which we plan to expand through public programming.
