Abstract

In the article, the author endeavours to describe the advantages of juxtaposing studies on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict with the Holocaust studies. Arguments for it are found in works in sociology and philosophy of prejudice and ethnic conflicts (Monika Bobako), reflections on memory and decolonisation (Michael Rothberg), and – especially – those on dual nationality as a philosophical issue (Judith Butler). However, the author primarily focuses on further developing Butler’s intriguing theory of vulnerability and applying it to fragility as a political, architectural, and existential problem. In order to do so, the author discusses the poetry of Mahmud Darwish (hardly present in Poland) and the film Notre musique by Jean-Luc Godard.
