About
I'm a researcher and urbanist whose work coalesces around the intersections between political theory, spatial practice and postcolonial critique. My latest scholarship focuses on political subjectivity, spatio-temporal fragmentation, signification and the urban in contemporary Palestine.
It seeks to address a set of interconnected theoretical-empirical questions: What do we make of the colonial subject neither in revolt nor in submission? How are subjects formed when official historical discourse falls jarringly out of synch with society’s lived and inherited memory? When symbolic and moral orders are unable to reproduce themselves? And what are the languages and practices through which subjects differentially but often simultaneously ratify and subvert new rituals of power?
