Following the eclectic itineraries of ‘Near East’ expert, R. M. Graves, this article tells a story of an ongoing Nakba (catastrophe) of small and large legal decisions. Without reducing the human catastrophe of the event of the Nakba (the 1948 Palestinian forced exodus), it engages with it as a legal event that crosses (in this story at least) from Cairo to Jerusalem, from the League of Nations’ era (1920–1946) to the United Nations’ era (1945–), from the governance of labour and gender, to labour partition, and finally to the governance of municipalities through law and expertise. Graves’ relationship to both Cairo and Jerusalem was materialized through different forms of affective legal governance. Graves, who in his own dichotomous words was ‘neither a Zionist nor an anti-Semite’, managed Jerusalem across national lines in the wake of the UN Partition Plan (1947), and as the old empire was withdrawing right before Jerusalem itself became a site of the catastrophe—right before the Nakba.

从开罗到耶路撒冷：法律、劳工、时间和灾难

跟随“近东”专家 RM Graves 不拘一格的行程，本文讲述了一个正在进行的大小法律决定的 Nakba（灾难）的故事。在不减少 Nakba（1948 年巴勒斯坦被迫流亡）事件造成的人类灾难的情况下，它作为一个法律事件参与其中，从国际联盟时代（1920 年）开始（至少在这个故事中）从开罗到耶路撒冷–1946）到联合国时代（1945–），从劳动力和性别治理，到劳动力分割，最后到通过法律和专业知识对市政当局进行治理。格雷夫斯与开罗和耶路撒冷的关系通过不同形式的情感法律治理得以具体化。格雷夫斯用他自己的二分法来说“既不是犹太复国主义者，也不是反犹太主义者”，
