Abstract
Abstract
This textual analysis of Palestinian blog posts interrogates the expression of Palestinian identity online during and after the failure of the peace talks led by US Secretary of State John Kerry in 2013 and 2014. Results indicate an unyielding reinforcement of resistance narratives alongside a youthful reinvention of collective identity as the decades-long dream for an independent state fades. It also ponders how the online performance of identity allows the speakers to make the personal political as well as public for their audience and for one another.
