ABSTRACT
In this chapter the framework is applied to “sumūd”, or steadfastness, the concept used by Palestinians for a kind of everyday resistance in the context of Palestine/Israel. The text shows how everyday resistance needs to be understood in its historic and dynamic relation with contextual con?gurations of power(s), in this case that of the Israeli occupation and colonialism. Simultaneously, it shows how the combination of time and space matters in terms of how everyday resistance is articulated. The concept of “third space” is applied, among others, to the resistance practiced by Palestine women living in a refugee camp, defending their houses and children against the Israeli military. Furthermore, the creation of counter-memories serves as one of several illustrative examples of the temporalization of everyday resistance. This chapter ends with a section in which the different dimensions are interlinked in the practice of everyday resistance against the control and surveillance represented by the checkpoint system.
