"This book examines Israeli and Palestinian theatrical work using both historicized socio political contexts and subject matters as well as poststructuralist/ textual, linguistic questions of literary representation and cultural production as discourse, seeking to find the dialectical relationship between these two approaches in postcolonial studies in general and in reading the artistic work of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in specific. This research bridges the gap between the discursive and material aspects of the conflicts narratives. In doing so, it enriches our understanding of how rhetoric, discourse, and cultural expressions have both shaped and been shaped by the conflicts evolution. By delving into the theatrical works of Israeli and Palestinian artists, this study offers a fresh perspective on the power of artistic representation as a form of resistance and response to colonial discourse. This investigation has the potential to not only illuminate the intricate interplay between textual representations and historical realities but also to challenge the prevailing theoretical dichotomies within postcolonial studies. By transcending the limitations of the discursive-poststructuralist debate and the complexities of Marxist-Postcolonial tensions, this study paves the way for a more holistic and nuanced understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within the broader framework of colonial history and cultural production. Ultimately, this research stands to reshape how we analyze and appreciate the role of artistic expression in negotiating complex socio-political narratives, offering new insights for scholars in postcolonial studies, theatre studies, and beyond"--.
