Visual Evidence and the Gaza Flotilla Raid: Extraterritoriality and the Image

Autor Maayan Amir
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2023
This book engages with pivotal examples of extraterritoriality-from Antiquity and into the twenty first century-in order to broaden the original judicial and geographical definition and thereby include physical and digitized information, and visual data in particular. By focusing on a critical incident of recent Middle Eastern history-namely,the Gaza Freedom Flotilla of 2010 which sailed against Israel's enduring blockade-it shows how the device of extraterritoriality shapes not only the political situation in Gaza, the legal status of the maritime environment in which the flotilla incident took place, and the judicial actions taken in response but also reveals how the concept of extraterritoriality is key to explaining the State's subsequent efforts to confiscate and monopolize all visual evidence of its alleged violations of international statutes. Through the lens of the missing visual evidence characterizing the Mavi Marmara incident after-effects, it explores how the legal system's ability to evade transparency seems to be a built-in condition for eluding criminal accountability at the international level, with the emphasis on extraterritoriality's fundamental role in fashioning our current legal and political orders.

Recenzii

"For the past decade, Maayan Amir has been developing a number of daring and fascinating projects with artist Ruti Sela. This book which builds on ideas emanating from them offers an extraordinary foray into the complexities of today's politics over the use of imagery, and the ensuing struggle against dominant image regimes. The book opens new channels for understanding how images become entangled in armed conflicts, and paves the way to a new form of liberating image-activism."
"This book espouses a most original approach toward the study of the concept of extraterritoriality. It excels in sophistication and complexity when demonstrating the political significance of extraterritoriality in international relations, both from a historical and contemporary perspective. It illuminates the relations between law and the image, as well as governmental attempts to set borders to visual information, especially in the context of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict."
"This work demonstrates the salience of the concept and practice of 'extraterritoriality'. It shows why Wittgenstein was right when he spoke of family resemblance: the concept hosts a plurality of legal, political and geographical meanings. These meanings are rooted in affinities between practices that - like in a real family - may be at war with each other. The empty space of 'the extraterritorial' turns out to be crowded with attempts to weaponize the freedom it seems to harbour, and Maayan Amir unearths how it contributed to a lethal war over the images capable of captivating public imagination."
