Abstract

Colonial discourse would provide the European imperialistic expansion with the ideological and moral legitimation through the myth of the civilizing mission. In order to allow the European conqueror to take possession of lands, it was first necessary to construe them as “blank spaces” and erase the signs inscribed on them by the peoples inhabiting them. What I intend to do here is precisely to analyze how the signs of the Other were erased in a quite peculiar form of colonialism: Zionism.
