These efforts help to disrupt various forms of colonial violence, including under the guise of liberal democracies. One of the multiple mechanisms they target is how people and lands are pitted against one another through adversarial categories of difference. Such efforts are a powerful antidote to colonial fragmentations, mobilizing differences via shared goals based on grounded solidarities. This article seeks to answer how anti-colonial struggles in Palestine and Sápmi engage with three ways of structuring similarities and differences. We thereby utilize Coulthard’s (2014) framework of recognition politics, divided into (1) assimilation, (2) multiculturalism, and (3) place-based solidarity. Next to excerpts from local organizers and a speculative dialogue between interviewees, we reference Audre Lorde’s work to better understand the relational qualities of differences. Our research shows that the structural dominance of assimilatory and multiculturalist approaches to difference tends to stabilize injustices while normalizing colonial violence, including via Westernized peace politics like the Oslo Accords or state-led reconciliation initiatives. On the other hand, the integrity of place-based solidarity generates reciprocal relationships and interdependent responsibilities, which undermine colonial divide-and-conquer politics. With the help of our interviewees, this article provides a shared analysis to further the solidarity between the struggles of two of colonial modernity’s most critical fronts, Sápmi and Palestine.

Since that moment, protests have erupted throughout historical Palestine and beyond, also reaching Palestinian women of the diaspora. Not only did this eventful protest mark the resurgence of a wave of women’s protests in Palestine, but it also brought about the start of a new feminist and anticolonial movement: Tal’at. Using frame analysis to examine the movement’s declarations, Facebook posts, and the archival material available at the Basso Foundation Archive, together with firsthand data collected through interviews conducted during my fieldwork in Historical Palestine, I will try to answer the following questions: How does this new feminist protest-movement differ from the previous ones? What are the elements of continuity with previous Palestinian women’s movements? How did this movement manage to frame an aggregating message in such a fragmented terr...

They both attempt to explain some aspects of social life in order to understand the difficult relationship elapsing between individuals and society. In this short contribution, I will try to shed some light on the main differences that characterise the two authors’ conceptualisation of the action and the role of individual actions in shaping society.

Questa piattaforma si pone come un percorso di formazione continua che coinvolge sia le autrici e gli autori sia il suo Comitato editoriale, spronandole/li alla riflessione sulla ricerca e allo sviluppo delle abilità necessarie per la produzione, redazione e divulgazione di articoli scientifici. In tal modo, Maydan intende sostenere l’ingresso dei giovani studiose/i nel mondo della ricerca e favorirne i contatti e il dialogo. La rivista ruota attorno a un’ampia visione dei mondi arabi, semitici e islamici, che comprende le aree geografiche del Medio Oriente e del Nord Africa, le regioni del Sahel, del Caucaso, dell’Asia centrale e del Sud-est asiatico. Maydan dà spazio anche a contributi riguardanti le connessioni di queste aree geografiche con Europa, Nord America e resto del mondo. Gli articoli inviati sono sottoposti a un processo di doppia revisione tra pari che prevede, quando necessario, l’ausilio di un comitato scientifico internazionale, costituito da docenti delle varie discipline.
