Collectivity of Struggle examines Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Genet’s projects developed in the 1970s vis-à-vis the Palestinian revolt. The book explores how these artistic-political projects portray and conceptualize the Palestinian “age of revolution,” its abrupt end, and two modes of prolonging it.
We live in a neoliberal regime that works to dismantle social institutions and eradicate forms of collective gathering. Over and against this state of affairs, Collectivity in Struggle revisits a crucial moment in recent history when the formation of collectivity sat at the heart of a radical emancipatory struggle and called for a creative endeavor, both artistic and political. The book examines two projects developed in the 1970s vis-à-vis the Palestinian revolt: Jean-Luc Godard's cinematic engagement with the Palestinian forces and Jean Genet's textual enterprise alongside them. Through an inverse reading that uncovers from the seemingly discrete and finalized artworks —Godard's film or Genet’s book—the process of their becoming, Shaul Setter explores the ways in which these projects portray and conceptualize the revolutionary stage of the Palestinian revolt, its abrupt end, and two different modes of prolonging it. Concentrating on their formal experimentation, their potentiality for collective enunciation, their conflicted positioning on the threshold of colonial European culture and the hidden Semitic languages inscribed in them—Setter claims that these two projects insist on the writerly aspects of revolutionary political action.
