Summary

Drifting walks in the hills, as practiced by Raja Shehadeh around Ramallah, which Lambert presents as a non-violent yet transgressive re-engagement of the body with the territory that is the very object of the conflict (The Funambulist Pamphlets, Volume 06: Palestine, PDF p.14-15, 96).

Details

  • Shehadeh practices the sarha in a spirit of joy and resistance; it escapes most apparatuses of control because it is de facto non-violent yet resolutely transgressive (PDF p.15, 96).
  • Spelling variants in this source: “sarha” (PDF p.14), “sarhats” (PDF p.96) — held, not reconciled.
