Legal regimes dealing with security have prominent temporal attributes: they are often intended to operate for a specified period of time in response to an imminent danger and allow governments to employ extraordinary measures enabling them to act faster when faced with time-critical scenarios. Such regimes also have prominent spatial attributes: they often protect a physical border, delineate spaces with extra-legal status, or use surveillance measures such as cameras or patrols for monitoring designated areas. Based on the analysis of one security regime that was imposed on the Palestinian minority in Israel between 1948 and 1966, I argue in this article that such spatial and temporal attributes affect each other and that different legal measures associated with security can be characterized by the specific time/space configuration – or chronotope – embedded in them. In Israel, a military regime was imposed on specific areas to foil the movement of its subjects and thereby further its territorial objectives. The procedures that the regime employed were therefore designed to monitor and control individuals’ whereabouts. Each of these seemingly spatial attributes, however, gained its particular function and meaning from a specific interaction with temporal attributes. The prism of the chronotope illuminates how security legal measures generate distinct modes of governance and produce different boundaries to the political community, in a way that a one-dimensional analysis fails to capture.

安全法律制度的年表

处理安全问题的法律制度具有突出的时间属性：它们通常旨在在特定的时间段内运行以应对迫在眉睫的危险，并允许政府采取非常措施，使它们在面对时间紧迫的情况时能够更快地采取行动。此类制度还具有突出的空间属性：它们通常保护物理边界，划定具有法外地位的空间，或使用摄像头或巡逻等监视措施来监视指定区域。根据对 1948 年至 1966 年间对以色列巴勒斯坦少数民族实施的一种安全制度的分析，我在本文中认为，这种空间和时间属性相互影响，与安全相关的不同法律措施可以通过嵌入其中的特定时间/空间配置或计时表来表征。在以色列，军事政权被强加于特定地区，以阻止其臣民的流动，从而促进其领土目标。因此，该政权采用的程序旨在监视和控制个人的行踪。然而，这些看似空间属性中的每一个都从与时间属性的特定交互中获得了其特定的功能和意义。计时表的棱镜阐明了安全法律措施如何产生不同的治理模式并为政治社区产生不同的界限，
