Notes

  1. 1.

    The episteme of the military sector provided tactical justifications for the preservation of areas that granted territorial depth to prevent future attacks and have a greater margin of military maneuver. Hence, it advocated for the dissemination of military and police outposts, which would be followed by checkpoints and the separation wall in the 2000s (Abowd 2014; Abuzayyad et al. 2013; Shlay and Rosen 2010; Cheshin et al. 2001).

  2. 2.

    For example, the national and archaeological parks that limit the expansion of buildable area between Palestinian neighborhoods; the profusion of security devices such as cameras, armed personnel—both public and private—and the separation wall and checkpoints, which modify the experiences of commuting and inhabiting the city (Margalit 2014; Chiodelli 2012a, b; Haggerty and Ericson 2000).
