Abstract

This paper examines the eliminatory speed of Israeli settler colonialism, particularly the ways in which settler organizations aim to accelerate the pace of elimination at the colonial frontiers in Palestine. We show, by focusing on the settler NGO Regavim, how such settler entrepreneurs constantly develop new techniques that challenge the slow and creeping eliminatory pace of state’s administrative, legal and security bodies with an intensifying eliminatory speed we call ‘dromoelimination’. By closely elaborating the ongoing events in the West Bank village of Susiya, we argue that dromoelimination operates, firstly, through accelerative state-settler dynamics that traverses beyond the eliminatory functions of the state while at the same time fundamentally reconfiguring them; and secondly, by turning Palestinian life and struggle against dispossession, forced displacement and destruction increasingly vulnerable to intensified temporalities of ‘depleting time’. Settler colonialism, we contend, becomes comprehensible in a more tangible, complex and spatially nuanced terms when looked through the speed and pace of its movement: that is, through intensified and accelerated eliminatory rhythms – of dromoelimination.
促进消除:加速巴勒斯坦定居者的殖民主义
本文考察了以色列定居者殖民主义的消除速度,特别是定居者组织旨在加速消除巴勒斯坦殖民边界的方式。通过关注非政府定居者Regavim,我们展示了这些定居者企业家如何不断开发新技术,挑战国家行政、法律和安全机构缓慢而缓慢的消除速度,我们称之为“促进消除”。通过仔细阐述西岸苏西亚村正在发生的事件,我们认为,首先,促进消除是通过加速的国家定居者动态运作的,这种动态超越了国家的消除功能,同时从根本上重新配置国家;第二,通过使巴勒斯坦人的生活和反对剥夺、被迫流离失所和破坏的斗争越来越容易受到“耗尽时间”的加剧的暂时性的影响。我们认为,从移民殖民主义运动的速度和步伐来看,即通过加强和加速的消除节奏- -促进消除,移民殖民主义在空间上变得更加具体、复杂和微妙。

期刊介绍: EPD: Society and Space is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly and political project. Through both a peer reviewed journal and an editor reviewed companion website, we publish articles, essays, interviews, forums, and book reviews that examine social struggles over access to and control of space, place, territory, region, and resources. We seek contributions that investigate and challenge the ways that modes and systems of power, difference and oppression differentially shape lives, and how those modes and systems are resisted, subverted and reworked. We welcome work that is empirically engaged and furthers a range of critical epistemological approaches, that pushes conceptual boundaries and puts theory to work in innovative ways, and that consciously navigates the fraught politics of knowledge production within and beyond the academy.
