Abstract

Linn Normand, Demonization in International Politics: A Barrier to Peace in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016)

Demonisation, counter-demonisation, and self-demonisation have become central to contemporary political debate. This essay proceeds from engagement with Linn Normand’s work on Israeli-Palestinian polemics to the broader ontological, epistemological, and political stakes in demonisation. It explores demonisation in thinkers like Frantz Fanon, Carl Schmitt, and Julia Kristeva. It relates this phenomenon to the problematisation of the religion/secularity divide by thinkers like Karl Marx and Talal Asad.
