Palestinian refugees in Lebanon are often described as living in a condition of waithood, suspended from law and awaiting return to their national homeland, where they will finally turn into qualified political lives. This frame, stemming from Hannah Arendt‟ legacy, fetishizes rights and the nation-state as the spheres where the human ceases to be a mere biological body subject to humanitarian relief and finally turns into a fully-fledged subject of rights. This article, on the other hand, interrogates the possibility of political lives in grey areas. It asks what conditions of being human are attainable in a context of juridical suspension? Can exile become grounds for an articulation of rights that overcomes the political, juridical and emotive national frame as the only space for existing in the world? I suggest understanding Palestinian refugees‟ political subjectivity in Lebanon today, not through the frame of defeat and demise -or as bare lives (Agamben, 2005), but through the Gramscian lens of the cathartic moment. I explore the political work of catharsis as an emotional, moral and rhetorical form of collective outbreak from national frames. Through catharsis and paroxysm refugees expose the fallacies of humanitarianism and nation-state based conception of rights and instead articulate a novel imaginary of a borderless humanity as basis for politically qualified lives.

难民和宣泄政治

在黎巴嫩的巴勒斯坦难民经常被描述为生活在等待状态,被法律中止并等待返回他们的祖国,在那里他们最终会变成合格的政治生活。这一框架源于汉娜·阿伦特的遗产,将权利和民族国家视为人类不再是受人道主义救济的单纯生物体并最终变成成熟的权利主体的领域。另一方面,本文质疑政治生活在灰色地带的可能性。它询问在法律中止的背景下可以达到什么样的人类条件?流放能否成为表达克服政治、法律和情感的国家框架是世界上唯一存在的空间吗?我建议理解当今黎巴嫩巴勒斯坦难民的政治主体性,不是通过失败和死亡的框架——或者作为赤裸裸的生活(Agamben,2005),而是通过宣泄时刻的葛兰西镜头。我将宣泄的政治工作作为一种情感、道德和修辞形式,从国家框架中集体爆发。通过宣泄和爆发,难民揭露了人道主义和基于民族国家的权利观念的谬误,而是阐明了一种无国界人性的新想象,作为政治合格生活的基础。Ruba Salih 是社会人类学家,也是伦敦大学东方和非洲研究学院的读者。她最近的出版物包括:(2017)“行走的身体,会说话的身体,会爱的身体。巴勒斯坦妇女难民、普通人的情感和政治”对立 49/3:742-760 和阿拉伯研究杂志的特刊(2014 年,第 XXI n.1 卷)关于“巴勒斯坦及其他地区的抵抗文化:艺术、美学和影响的政治(与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作)这是即将由杜克大学出版社在南大西洋季刊上发表的一篇文章的接受版本:http://saq.dukejournals.org/content/by /year 从 SOAS Research Online 下载的已接受版本:http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为“巴勒斯坦难民”的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)Affectivity and the Politics of the Ordinary” Antipode 49/3:742-760 和《阿拉伯研究杂志》(2014 年,第 XXI n.1 卷)关于“巴勒斯坦及其他地区的抵抗文化:艺术政治”的特刊,美学和影响(与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作)这是即将由杜克大学出版社在南大西洋季刊上发表的一篇文章的接受版本:http://saq.dukejournals.org/content/by/year 接受版本从 SOAS Research Online 下载:http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为《巴勒斯坦难民》的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)Affectivity and the Politics of the Ordinary” Antipode 49/3:742-760 和《阿拉伯研究杂志》(2014 年,第 XXI n.1 卷)关于“巴勒斯坦及其他地区的抵抗文化:艺术政治”的特刊,美学和影响(与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作)这是即将由杜克大学出版社在南大西洋季刊上发表的一篇文章的接受版本:http://saq.dukejournals.org/content/by/year 接受版本从 SOAS Research Online 下载:http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为《巴勒斯坦难民》的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)美学和影响(与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作)这是即将由杜克大学出版社在南大西洋季刊上发表的一篇文章的接受版本:http://saq.dukejournals.org/content/by/year 接受版本从 SOAS Research Online 下载:http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为《巴勒斯坦难民》的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)美学和影响(与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作)这是即将由杜克大学出版社在南大西洋季刊上发表的一篇文章的接受版本:http://saq.dukejournals.org/content/by/year 接受版本从 SOAS Research Online 下载:http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为《巴勒斯坦难民》的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为《巴勒斯坦难民》的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)uk/24473/ 2 她正在与 Sophie Richter-Devroe 合作编写一本名为《巴勒斯坦难民》的书。流放政治与回归政治,剑桥大学出版社(即将出版)
