Resumo: Art has been a fundamental tool of Palestinian resistance since the beginning of the Israeli occupation, graffiti being one of its most visible expressions. As a tool of resistance, graffiti is used as a means of mobilization, political expression, and opposition to the hegemony of the Zionist narrative. Careful analysis of graffiti can lead to a better understanding of the characteristics and political aspirations of the Palestinian resistance. However, graffiti painted by Banksy and other international artists on the Separation Wall (built in 2002) has received significantly more media and academic attention than that produced by Palestinian artists. This contributes greatly to increasing the international visibility of the Palestinian cause, however, many locals consider that not only does it embellish the most striking symbol of Israeli occupation, but it casts it in terms too universal to be faithful to the Palestinian experience. Based on the comparative analysis of three murals produced by the Palestinian artist Mohamd Alraee in the Aroub refugee camp (West Bank), this master’s thesis aims to give voice to contemporary Palestinian graffiti, with the aim of capturing the characteristics that are unique to it as a form of resistance.

Na resistência, o graffiti é utilizado como forma de mobilização, expressão política e oposição à hegemonia da narrativa sionista. Uma análise cuidada do graffiti levar-nos-á a um maior entendimento das características e aspirações políticas da resistência palestiniana. No entanto, após a construção, em 2002, do Muro de Separação na Cisjordânia, o graffiti de Banksy e de outros artistas internacionais no mesmo, tem vindo a receber, significativamente, mais atenção mediática e académica que o graffiti produzido por artistas Palestinianos. Se, por um lado, isto contribui para aumentar a visibilidade internacional da causa Palestiniana, por outro, muitos consideram que aqueles não só embelezam o símbolo mais gritante da ocupação Israelita, como a enquadram em termos demasiado universais para conseguirem ser fiéis à experiência Palestiniana. Nesse sentido, com base na análise comparativa de três murais produzidos pelo artista Palestiniano Mohamd Alraee no campo de refugiados de Aroub, na Cisjordânia, esta dissertação de mestrado visa dar voz ao graffiti Palestiniano contemporâneo, com o objectivo de captar as especificidades que lhe são únicas como forma de resistência.2023-12-18T00:00:00Z2020-12-18T00:00:00Z2020-12-182020-11info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/21102TID:202558630engYoung, Ana Mafalda Sintrãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-12-24T01:19:25Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/21102Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:27:31.268977Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
