	abstract = {The essay examines a certain shift in the politics of the body/corpse as an outcome of\&nbsp;the {\textquotedblleft}new{\textquotedblright} war. Perspectives on suicide-attack-induced trauma are compared via an\&nbsp;analysis of the 2003 Israeli documentary No. 17 (representing here an entire corpus);\&nbsp;video recordings taken of suicide bombers before their missions; and the Palestinian\&nbsp;narrative film Paradise Now (2005). Among the interrelated issues discussed are the\&nbsp;ethics of the gaze; the phenomenology of suicide attacks; our willingness to become\&nbsp;contaminated by the corpse as indicating our willingness to accept the other; and the\&nbsp;distinction between discourses oriented towards the other and those which preclude\&nbsp;such orientation. By proposing the body/corpse relationship as the basis for a new\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}materialistic{\textquotedblright} discourse, the essay contests the predominance of {\textquotedblleft}memory discourse{\textquotedblright}\&nbsp;in trauma studies.\&nbsp;Morag, Raya (2013) "Abjection, Ethics, and Otherness: Israeli Documentary Cinema in the Age of the Second Intifada," Mikan 13 October: 5-30.
