My thesis will produce an interdisciplinary study of moving image that uses desert environments in Israel- Palestine after the Second World War, unearthing traces of a synergy between film, climate, people, state and soil. Working with an understanding of the desert as a central setting for the fabrication of colonial desires, it will employ a postcolonial perspective to read the desert as a counter-space of settler colonialism, proposing the desert as 'a space of life'; a landscape in which traces can be discerned of new or hitherto invisible geopolitical and social relations, representations of loss, migration, memory, and liminal subjectivities.

我的论文将利用第二次世界大战后以色列-巴勒斯坦的沙漠环境对运动图像进行跨学科研究，挖掘电影、气候、人民、国家和土壤之间协同作用的痕迹。将沙漠理解为制造殖民欲望的中心环境，它将采用后殖民视角将沙漠解读为定居者殖民主义的反空间，将沙漠视为“生命的空间”；在这片景观中，可以辨别出新的或迄今为止看不见的地缘政治和社会关系的痕迹，以及失落、迁移、记忆和阈限主观性的表征。
