This doctoral research examines the colonial spatial and socialconfigurations of death in Occupied Palestine. The researchhas two key objectives: 1) to analyse the settler-colonialmobilisation of suspended death as an instrument that targetsPalestinian social and political life; and 2) to critically examineforms of Palestinian grassroots resistance to necropoliticalformations (e.g., in collective mourning rituals).My focus will begin with archival and legal research toreconstruct a historical account of British and Israeli practices ofdetaining dead Palestinian and Arab bodies as a tool for socialdivision. I will document the ways that detaining the dead hasbeen practiced by colonial forces in Palestine since 1945. I willthen deploy visual mapping, 3D modelling, and geolocationanalysis to examine clandestine sites - commonly known as"Cemeteries of Numbers" - where deceased Palestinian andArab bodies are still detained by the Israeli military. This part willconsist of ethnographic fieldwork informed by Palestiniangrassroots initiatives that seek to locate and retrieve thesebodies. My involvement will be conducted at a safe distance,comprising remote and field investigations into such sites and intheir geopolitical, spatial and social contexts.This conceptually and methodologically innovative project willcontribute to wider geographical debates on colonialism anddecolonising by producing a detailed, site-specific study thatinvestigates the wider phenomenon of colonial necropolitics, amode of governing whose prevalence has grown significantly inthe "postcolonial" world.

这项博士研究考察了被占领巴勒斯坦死亡的殖民地空间和社会结构。该研究有两个关键目标：1)分析定居者-殖民动员死缓作为针对巴勒斯坦社会和政治生活的工具；2)批判性地考察巴勒斯坦基层对死亡政治形态的抵抗形式（例如，集体哀悼仪式）。我的重点将从档案和法律研究开始，以重建英国和以色列扣留巴勒斯坦和阿拉伯人尸体作为社会分裂工具的历史记录。我将记录1945年以来殖民势力在巴勒斯坦扣留死者的方式。然后，我将部署可视化地图、3D建模和地理位置分析来检查秘密地点——通常被称为“数字墓地”——以色列军方仍然扣押着巴勒斯坦和阿拉伯人的尸体。这一部分将包括由巴勒斯坦基层倡议告知的民族志田野调查，旨在寻找和检索这些尸体。我的参与将在安全距离内进行，包括对这些地点及其地缘政治、空间和社会背景进行远程和实地调查。这个概念上和方法上的创新项目将通过产生详细的、特定地点的研究来调查更广泛的殖民死亡政治现象，以及在“后殖民”世界中普遍存在的统治模式，从而促进关于殖民主义和非殖民化的更广泛的地理辩论。
