Viral Occupation: New Media Technologies and Israeli Military Rule

Viral Occupation: New Media Technologies and Israeli Military Rule

10383 Bunche Hall
UCLA

This paper considers the interplay between new media technologies and Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories (1967-present).  Through the study of a diverse body of Israeli actors (state officials, human rights workers, and everyday Israeli social media users) and a variety of new media platforms and practices, the analysis will consider the ways that Israeli militarism is being transformed in digital times.
