| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article explores how bodily living and experiencing life as colonized subjects affects the perception of space and time. It argues that the Zionist settler-colonial trinity of control (checkpoints, ID cards, and permits) are not mere physical barriers of separation or restriction of movement and mobility. They are also a direct mechanism of colonial power that articulates how oppressive spaces are lived and consequently form the colonized perception of being-in-the-world. Based on two years of ethnographic study at Qalandia checkpoint between 2015 and 2017, the article adopts a phenomenological anthropological lens and focuses on two moments of bodily experiences related to passing the checkpoint: First, the bodily experience before reaching the checkpoint; and second, the bodily experience when crossing the checkpoint. |
