Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In critical theory armies are long known as totalitarian institutions, ideological state apparatuses which strive to cultivate specific desired subjectivities. My paper is a performative autobiographical narration, through which I revisit a personal event I experienced during my army compulsory service, almost two decades ago. By using Eve Sedwick’s framework on shame as a primal constitutive affect of identity formation as well as delineating the social norms and its infringements, my work reflects upon the militaristic role in the construction of Israeli-Jewish masculinity, with and outside uniforms. Through the specificities of my personal narrative, I examine the role of corporeal and verbal mimicry as a derogatory mockery practice, and the usefulness of counter-mimicry as a performative strategy for challenging public humiliations. I conclude by considering some power complexities which characterize aspects of Israeli society and deny simple readings of “everyday shames” as illuminating moments in the construction and positioning of subjects.
