Emerging geographies of Israeli occupation and Palestinian resistance in East Jerusalem

这项博士研究将批判性地调查巴勒斯坦的社会和政治生活的背景下，以色列的定居者在被占领的东耶路撒冷的殖民空间的做法。在那里，巴勒斯坦人面临各种控制和驱逐手段，拆除房屋、威胁拆除居住权、真实的房地产投机-由一系列行为者实施：以色列国、公民个人和定居者非政府组织。在Sheikh Jarrah和Silwan这两个社区-这两个社区在过去一年里都成为国际头条新闻，也是本研究的重点地区-成千上万的巴勒斯坦人每天都生活在失去家园的威胁之中。这是一个站在当代殖民主义前沿的地方，需要在创造和毁灭殖民空间方面进行批判性的地理考察。我将通过档案研究、参与性观察和半结构化访谈来完成这项任务，具体目的是了解东耶路撒冷的生活，以及殖民主义对日常生活的影响，以及出现的行动主义、谈判和抵抗形式。这将是第一次从这个角度研究正在进行的流离失所问题，因此有可能对政治地理学领域关于殖民时代权力职能的关键主题做出重大贡献。

This doctoral study will critically investigate Palestinian social and political life in the context of Israel's settler-colonial spatial practices in occupied East Jerusalem. There, Palestinians face various techniques of control and removal - e.g., house demolitions, threatened residency removal, real estate speculation - that are implemented by a range of actors: the state of Israel, private citizens and settler NGOs. In the neighbourhoods of Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan - both of which have been in the international headlines in the past year, and the areas on which this research is focused - thousands of Palestinians live everyday threatened with the loss of their homes. This is a site on the frontline of contemporary colonialism in need of critical geographical examination in terms of making and unmaking colonial space. I will undertake this task via archival research, participant observation and semi-structured interviews with the specific aim to understand life in East Jerusalem and the ways that colonialism impresses on daily routines and the forms of activism, negotiation and resistance that emerge. This will be the first study of its kind to work on a site of ongoing displacement from this perspective and thus has the potential to make a significant contribution to the field of political geography on the crucial theme of the function of power in the colonial present.
