摘要

摘要:本文探讨自1948年以来，巴勒斯坦人在与国际社会和国际机构的交往中，既表达了失望与信念，又表达了疲惫与承诺。这个问题不仅仅是巴勒斯坦的问题。根据对巴勒斯坦进行的档案和民族志研究，以及大约，许多年和地点，文章提出了不合时宜的乐观主义作为一个概念，以阐明人们如何能够维持对其失败的承诺。这个概念还揭示了即使在失败和背叛的一般背景下，通过保持这种承诺可能会取得什么成就。不合时宜并不总是产生乐观情绪——它经常不是——但它可能是“世界末日”乐观情绪的先决条件。

Untimely Optimism: International Attention, Palestinian Disappointment, and the Persistence of Commitment

ABSTRACT:This article considers the simultaneous experience and expression of disappointment and belief, and of exhaustion and commitment, in Palestinian engagement with the international community and international institutions in the years since 1948. This problem is not just a Palestinian one. Drawing from archival and ethnographic research on Palestine conducted over, and about, many years and locations, the article proposes untimely optimism as a concept to elucidate how people can sustain commitments to institutions whose failures they know well. The concept also reveals what may be accomplished through maintaining such commitment, even within a general context of failure and betrayal. Untimeliness does not always generate optimism—it frequently does not—but it may nonetheless be a prerequisite for optimism "at the end of the world."
