By examining Freud’s psychoanalytic understanding of how people cope with loss, especially Freud's work on mourning and melancholia, the article explores the Zionist and Israeli demand that the Palestinians accept their loss, mourn Palestine privately, and move on to find another love object, coding the Palestinians’ refusal to mourn as a form of “anti-Semitism.” The analysis the article offers makes use of Freud's insights and shows the explanatory limits of Freudian theory in examining Palestinian responses to loss. Another explanation that the article examines is “nostalgia” and its manifestation in Zionist and Palestinian cultural forms. The article differentiates between a past-centered nostalgia and a nostalgia for futurity in analyzing these cultural products concluding that unlike the Zionist movement which harked back to an imagined fantastical past in establishing a colonial-settler state, the Palestinians deploy a future-oriented nostalgia for the recovery of their stolen lands and country.   Este artículo examina la respuesta psicológica y cultural ante la pérdida de Palestina por parte de sus habitantes y su plan para recuperar el territorio. Mediante la examinación del entendimiento psicoanalítico de Freud, particularmente sobre el duelo y la melancolía, el artículo estudia la demanda sionista e israelita que incita a los palestinos aceptar su pérdida, realizar el luto de modo privado y encontrar otro objeto para amar, codificando como “anti-semita” su rechazo del duelo. Se emplean las ideas de Freud así como las limitaciones de la teoría freudiana a la hora de examinar las respuestas palestinas a la pérdida. Otra explicación considerada en el artículo es la “nostalgia” y sus manifestaciones culturales sionistas y palestinas. Al estudiar dichas productos culturales, el estudio distingue entre una nostalgia centrada en el pasado y una enfocada en el futuro, para concluir que a diferencia del movimiento sionista que recuerda un pasado fantástico para establecer un estado colonial y colonizador, los palestinos emplean una nostalgia orientada al futuro para recuperar sus territorios y país robados.Tecnológico de Monterrey2015-12-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo evaluado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.enclavesdelpensamiento.mx/index.php/enclaves/article/view/204EN-CLAVES DEL PENSAMIENTO; No. 18 (2015): JULIO-DICIEMBRE, AÑO IX; 131-168En-Claves del Pensamiento; Núm. 18 (2015): JULIO-DICIEMBRE, AÑO IX; 131-1682594-1100reponame:En-claves del pensamientoinstname:INSTITUTO TECNOLÓGICO Y DE ESTUDIOS SUPERIORES DE MONTERREYinstacron:ITESMspahttps://www.enclavesdelpensamiento.mx/index.php/enclaves/article/view/204/202Derechos de autor 2015 EN-CLAVES del pensamientoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.enclavesdelpensamiento.mx:article/2042024-08-22T18:17:27Z
