This article relies on an ethnographic study of formal and informal chains of mediation triggered by administrative procedures that Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza have to follow in order to obtain a permit of entry into Israel. By studying the networks these interactions structure it attempts to apprehend the spatial dimensions of the Israeli permit regime beyond national and territorial frameworks. Drawing on Henri Lefebvre's (2000) concept of production of space, this study does not reduces spaces to the shapes of territory but apprehend them through the dynamic articulations of people's streams of actions. This shift provides two advantages. First, it helps scrutinizing the dissemination of power and mechanisms of domination between Israelis and Palestinians much beyond ethno-national hierarchies. Second, it shows that the spatial effects of Israeli control mechanisms do not only manifest themselves through the territorial confinement of Palestinians but also through the viscous texture they impose on Palestinian spatial practices compared to fluid Israeli ones. In that perspective, the Israeli permit regime shows some similarities to bordering technologies of global and postcolonial capitalism.

粘性空间

本文依赖于对正式和非正式调解链的民族志研究，这些调解链由来自西岸和加沙的巴勒斯坦人为获得进入以色列的许可而必须遵循的行政程序触发。通过研究这些相互作用结构的网络，它试图理解以色列许可制度超出国家和领土框架的空间维度。本研究借鉴 Henri Lefebvre (2000) 的空间生产概念，并没有将空间简化为领土的形状，而是通过人们行动流的动态表达来理解它们。这种转变提供了两个优点。首先，它有助于审查以色列人和巴勒斯坦人之间权力的传播和统治机制，远远超出了种族国家等级。第二，它表明，以色列控制机制的空间效应不仅体现在对巴勒斯坦人的领土限制上，还体现在与流动的以色列空间实践相比，它们强加给巴勒斯坦空间实践的粘性结构。从这个角度来看，以色列的许可制度与全球和后殖民资本主义的边界技术有一些相似之处。
