The Bubble/Ha-Buah, Eytan Fox, Israeli-Palestinian ConflictAbstract
Israeli filmmaker Eytan Fox directs The Bubble/Ha-Buha (2006), a filmic textuality that deals with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the cartography of Tel Aviv-Yafo and the West Bank. The plot revolves around the impossible love between the Jew Noam and the Palestinian Ashraf. Both young men casually meet at a chekpoint between the West Bank and Israel. This meeting will draw them together in this multicultural and military context, in which they are arbitrarily placed. Within this complex and critical acional panorama, we will approach the psychosocial devices that move these boys in the systematic confrontations and salutary negotiations that aim at the inclusive disjunctive synthesis of the situations in which they are inserted/uncertain. From the physical boundaries of difficult transposition that constantly create the figures of “strangers”, we will reflect on this fruitful encounter, despite the inhospitable context, and on how the possibilities of coexistence are in the aspects of “being-beside”, of “being-with” and “existence-for”, which indicate us the fields of xenophilia (the friendship to the foreigner/different) and of the xenofobia (the fear to the foreigner/different) with the support of the reflections of Zygmunt Bauman (2013; 1998, 1995).We will also follow such psychosocial negotiations within the framework of the principles of molar and molecular actions and subjective, concepts reflected by Felix Guattari and Suely Rolnik (1986). As well as we will use, to historicize this study, data from B'TSELEN - The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories - (2017a; 2017b; 2017c; 2017d). Finally, we will follow the senses of the diasporic character, by Stuart Hall (2001), which involves these multi-connections that are both the cause and the victims of this brutalizing sociopolitical and cultural conflict.
