自1986年以来被监禁的巴勒斯坦政治犯瓦利德·达卡的文本挑战了殖民权力以非殖民化结束的观念，并暴露了仅仅通过死亡和剥夺的消除棱镜来审查殖民监狱的缺点。本文研究Daka的文本，呈现以色列监狱系统如何设法利用囚犯的希望与渴望，包括他们彼此之间的关系、他们的政治行动，例如绝食抗议、内部领导层级的建立，以及他们的情感世界，来达成自己的目标。这篇文章不是悲观的描述，而是批判性地分析了达卡的作品，以展示如何在一个积极分子的框架内展开对癌症主体化的第一人称研究。达卡利用这些观察发展了另一种非殖民化的表达方式，我称之为“废除主义的非殖民化”，作为一种集体和持续坚持设定获得自由的条件。通过“废奴主义的去殖民化”，我在法诺式的永无止境的去殖民化计划和福柯式的永无止境的废除计划之间进行了一场艰难的对话。因此，这种批判的态度旨在对抗定居者-殖民地的残暴态度，这种态度将挫败当局试图重现囚犯试图逃避的危险的企图，而这些危险正是囚犯们为了逃避危险而采取的手段。
The texts of Walid Daka, a Palestinian political prisoner incarcerated since 1986, challenge the notion that colonial power ends with decolonization and expose the shortcomings of examining colonial prisons solely through the eliminatory prism of death and deprivation. Studying Daka’s texts, the article presents how the Israeli carceral system has managed to utilize prisoners’ hopes and longings – in their relations with one another, their political actions such as hunger strikes or their building of internal leadership hierarchies, and their affective worlds – to further its own goals. Rather than a pessimistic account, this article critically analyzes Daka’s writings to demonstrate how a first-person study of carceral subjectification can unfold within an activist framework. Daka uses these observations to develop an alternative articulation of decolonization that I term ‘abolitionist decolonization’ as a collective and continued insistence on setting the terms of getting free. By ‘abolitionist decolonization,’ I conjure a difficult conversation between a Fanonian project of never-ending decolonization and a Foucauldian project of never-ending abolition. As such, this critical attitude aims to counter settler-colonial carcerality in ways that will foil the administration’s attempts to reproduce the dangers that the prisoners seek to elude, through the very means they deploy to elude them.
