Abstract

Let me sincerely thank all of the contributors to this forum and also the editors for facilitating the opportunity to have this conversation during a period when it was extremely difficult to meet in person. It is a real privilege to have one's work read so carefully and generously. Each contributor not only picks out key insights from my book, but also offers a provocation that take the ideas and themes developed in Spacing Debt elsewhere. This is scholarship at its most constructive, and as an author it is extremely rewarding to see my work used in this way. Spacing Debt aims to convince readers about the need to theorise debt spatially, while offering them a better understanding about the changes that have taken place in Ramallah, Palestine since 2008. It will appeal to readers interested in debt and finance, and those interested in the contemporary Levant. The book also seeks to be a resource for those thinking ‘elsewhere’, by which I mean scholars doing research with other concepts and/or in other geographical (and historical) contexts and/or in other disciplinary spaces (and across disciplines). The four responses demonstrate the novel and insightful outcomes that can result when such cross-cutting conversations succeed. Given the ubiquity of credit/debt spacings, but also their differences, interdisciplinary and cross-cultural ways of working are urgently needed in our contemporary worlds. In the remainder of my response, I want to continue the conversation with my four interlocutors by elaborating on some of themes in their responses.
