This thesis explores individual, highly situated, embodied and relational performances of Palestinian-ness based on life history interviews with one Palestinian woman and one LGBTQIA+ Palestinian individual. Based on the concept of performativity and with the help of intersectionality theory, this thesis provides insight into the fluid negotiation of Palestinian-ness through everyday acts and practices. In doing so, this thesis demonstrates the multiple and complex ways in which underrepresented Palestinian profiles navigate their identities at different stages of their life, across time and space. Via employing narrative analysis as a method and as an analytical framework, the participants’ performances of Palestinian-ness were revealed to be articulated in the form of anti-colonial performances, leftist performances, collective performances and performances of multiple Palestinian identities.
