本文分析了巴勒斯坦领土上的检查站，以及它们是如何作为一个独特的人类学空间和一个不伦不类的地方发挥作用的。首先，作者描述了现代检查站的诞生，它们的形成，变化和功能。然后，作者根据对位于拉马拉和耶路撒冷之间的卡兰迪亚检查站的民族志研究，展示了该检查站如何成为经济和社会中心，并认为它是一个“人类学空间”。盖兰迪亚和检查站通常也可以被理论化为“非地方”，类似于机场，是切断巴勒斯坦时空的间隙区。最后，作者认为，检查站在巴勒斯坦社会中发挥着核心和象征性的作用，这表明了巴勒斯坦人在与以色列不断试图控制的地理位置的矛盾和混乱关系中存在的核心困境。
This article analyzes checkpoints in the Palestinian Territories and how they function as both a unique anthropological space and a nondescript nonplace. First, the author describes the birth of modern-day checkpoints, their formations, variations, and functions. Then, based on ethnographic research at the Qalandia checkpoint, halfway between Ramallah and Jerusalem, the author shows how the checkpoint is an economic and social hub and argues that it is an “anthropological space.” Qalandia and checkpoints generally can also be theorized as “nonplaces,” akin to airports, that are interstitial zones that sever Palestinian space-time. Finally, the author suggests that checkpoints play a central and symbolic role in Palestinian society that bespeaks the core predicament of Palestinian existence within a paradoxical and disordered relationship to geography over which Israel continuously attempts to exert control.
