Summary
Scholar whose concept of ethnographic refusal Kelly uses in Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine both for her own feminist ethnographic practice in the Introduction and for the hesitation of Palestinian hosts in Chapter 1 (Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, PDF p.31, 68).
Details
- Following Simpson on refusal, Kelly’s interview practice did not ask Palestinians to relive the trauma of displacement or perform subjection for the tourist gaze (PDF p.31).
- Kelly reads the reluctance of Fida al-Sharafi’s parents to repeat their story as a moment that potentially invites what Simpson calls ethnographic refusal, when the author of an ethnography refuses to supply the reader with every last detail, a display of every wound (PDF p.68).
