本文探讨了英国和美国的主角在国际文化倡导中试图代表约旦河西岸检查站的“代理过境”的令人感兴趣的频率。全球检查站的这个引人注目的例子是对立的安全观念之间发生壮观对抗的场所,体现在守卫检查站的以色列士兵和试图通过检查站的巴勒斯坦人之间的相遇。我感兴趣的叙事促使读者或观众将自己想象成通过将大都市主角置于检查站而请求通行的人。通过这种替代行为,大都市观众不仅被要求站在巴勒斯坦人一边,还要分担他们的恐惧和危险感,并认识到他们对全球安全秩序的共同但不平等的影响。但与此同时,也提醒观众这种同理心认同形式的局限性。当这些叙述中的中间人物带着恐惧接近检查站,然后平安无事地通过检查站时,他们被迫承认自己的安全,并在承认这种安全的同时感到羞耻,为自己安全而其他人不安全而感到羞耻。因此,检查站成为政治转变的场所,在这里,代表读者或观众的主角可以被说服与巴勒斯坦人站在一起。
This article considers the intriguing frequency of “proxy crossings” by British and American protagonists in international cultural advocacy that seeks to represent the West Bank checkpoint. This highly visible instance of the global checkpoint is the site of a spectacular confrontation between opposing notions of safety, embodied in the encounter between the Israeli soldier guarding the checkpoint and the Palestinian who seeks to pass through it. The narratives I am interested in prompt their readers or viewers to imagine themselves as the person requesting passage by placing a metropolitan protagonist at the checkpoint. Through this act of substitution, metropolitan audiences are asked not simply to side with Palestinians, but to share in their sense of fear and endangerment, and to recognize their common yet unequal implication in the global security order. At the same time, however, audiences are also reminded of the limits of this form of empathetic identification. When the intermediary figures in these narratives approach the checkpoint with fear and then cross it without incident, they are compelled to acknowledge their own safety, and in acknowledging that safety to feel shame, to feel ashamed that they are safe when others are not. The checkpoint thus becomes a site of political conversion, a site where the protagonist, standing in for the reader or viewer, can be persuaded to stand in solidarity with Palestinians.
