What is the relationship between photography, judgment and imagination? This dissertation repositions the Aristotelian concept of deliberative imagination-the capacity to produce and compare different images with one another-as a theoretical tool to visualize a common citizenship for Palestinians and Israelis through photographs. The central argument claims that the "imaginary," understood as a social construct, has taken over the "imagination" as a political practice. Israelis-including myself-are immersed in imaginary discursive realms that have taken away the ability to conceive an alternative to the current political state of affairs: a common citizenship for Israelis and Palestinians. The prevailing Zionist national imaginary arranges the ways in which Israelis relate to each other and to Palestinians, the histories they construct and the futures that they can envision. The need to understand deliberative imagination as a theory is therefore rooted in "the here and now" of the political situation. While at the same time, it is understood also as a practice that negotiates and challenges how the contemporary moment is acknowledged and mobilized in political discourses. This dissertation aims to reclaim and reactivate deliberative imagination as a collective political action that challenges the (national) imaginary and thus sets in motion potential histories that can enable citizens to envision alternative futures. The method for this dissertation follows the approaches of visual rhetorical studies and visual culture studies and asks how we can look at photographs while questioning the material conditions of their production, reproduction and circulation. By analyzing, problematizing, and (re)contextualizing aerial photographs, historical photographs and photographs produced by journalists and activists, in their relations to place and to time, the dissertation suggests the need to train our imaginations by developing an ocular critical literacy. Given the omnipresence of photographs in 21st-century daily life, such literacy is an urgent necessity for understanding the world, creating new alliances and enacting democracy.
