Abstract

This essay examines the expression of "no air", used by Israelis following the October 7 events. Symbolizing experiences of anxiety, this expression was soon accompanied by therapeutic and consumer practices guiding the public in how to restore its breathing abilities, thereby demonstrating personal and collective resilience. However, the universal dimension embedded in the notion of breathing generates political meanings that we interpret as bodily-anchored critical affective citizenship.
