Abstract

This article discusses the ethical and political dimension of documentary as a narrative of alterity, capable of producing meanings geared towards empathy and mobilizing counter-narratives about the other. To this end, we observe the representation of Palestine in “Al Nakba” (Al Jazeera, 2008) and “Born in Gaza” (2014, dir. Hernán Zin). Through the analysis of the approach and the imagistic dynamics, we identify in the works the combination of testimonial and historical-expository rhetoric, the opposition to orientalist rhetoric, and the formulation of complex images about alterity.
