人们普遍认为债务是暂时的——用未来的劳动购买当前的消费。本文通过纳入空间在创造、维持和破坏债务关系中所起的积极作用，提出了债务的概念。债务是一种特殊的空间联系，它与地形空间纠缠在一起，形成债务生态。这一论点是通过追踪巴勒斯坦拉马拉-比雷市不同人群、社区、机构和遗址之间空间联系的创建、维护和/或破坏而发展起来的。关注债务的空间性可以更好地理解债务本身，并将关系方法扩展到部署网络想象的金融，这种网络想象无法解释折叠或消除距离和划分的拓扑间隔。共同构成具体债务生态的广泛时空也揭示了一种超越经济的地理，在拉马拉的背景下，它包含了家庭和地缘政治。这些纠缠来自于一种方法方法，该方法使用人种学来超越债务的统计表示。从拓扑学角度思考债务也回应了后殖民时代对理论定位的担忧。
Debt is widely conceived as temporal – present consumption bought with future labour. This paper advances conceptualisations of debt by incorporating the active role space plays in creating, maintaining and undermining debt relations. Debts are topological binds – a particular kind of spatial connection, which are entangled with topographic spaces to produce debt ecologies. This argument is developed by tracing the creation, maintenance and/or destruction of spatial connections between different people, communities, institutions and sites in the Palestinian conurbation of Ramallah – Al Bireh. Attending to the spatiality of debt offers a better understanding of debt itself, and extends relational approaches to finance that deploy network imaginaries, which cannot account for topological spacings that fold or dissolve distance and divisions. The extensive range of time-spaces that co-constitute specific debt ecologies also reveal a more-than-economic geography, which in the context of Ramallah enfolds family and geopolitics. These entanglements emerge from a methodological approach that uses ethnography to move beyond statistical representations of debt. Thinking debt topologically also responds to postcolonial concerns about the locatedness of theory.
