With joy, Sexta do Mês invites everyone to the thematic table that will take place in October.
In the month in which the uninterrupted genocide against the Gaza Strip completes one year, the October edition of Sexta do Mês opens space for reflection on the experiences of exile, forced displacement and agency of the Palestinian people. In light of the new work by anthropologist Leonardo Schiocchet, entitled “Processes of Belonging and Social Organization among Arab Forced Migrants: Theoretical and Methodological Contributions”, published in 2024 by the Brazilian Anthropology Association (ABA) and Editora Fi, we propose the exercise of articulating ethnographic knowledge with the contemporary political scenario of the Middle East. The colonial occupation of Palestine, which began more than seven decades ago, is entering a new phase of violence and dispossession of the Arab-Palestinian population and, far from ending, is expanding to countries such as Lebanon, Iran and Yemen.
Schiocchet's work, by investigating how exile shapes both the identity and survival strategies of Palestinians, offers theoretical and analytical perspectives to understand the forms of agency and subjectivity that emerge in this complex scenario. Therefore, we invite everyone to the Friday of the Month “Palestine in the context of colonialism”, seeking to reflect on the position of anthropology in the midst of the “first televised genocide in history” and break with silence and omission.
