Cette enquête ethnographique interroge les conditions structurelles et administratives du contrôle et de l’approvisionnement en eau dans le camp de réfugiés de Deisha, en le comparant avec le District de Bethléem (Cisjordanie). La recherche analyse les relations sociales verticales et horizontales qui se tissent quotidiennement au sein de la communauté des réfugiés pour satisfaire leur besoin en eau. J’illustre les changements sociaux engendrés par l’organisation de l’Autorité palestinienne et la manière dont la situation actuelle est localement perçue par les réfugiés et les citoyens de la Cisjordanie. L’eau apparaît comme un médiateur des relations politiques locales et régionales dans la négociation de modalités différentes d’identification et de différenciation de la société palestinienne en Cisjordanie ; cette dernière n’est pas homogène mais elle confronte une multitude de visions des « autres » qui sont en conflit, collaborent ou simplement coexistent. |
