Abstract

Abstract This article studies the Hope–Princeton Highway, a regional route in the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada, through the lens of uneven mobilities. Bringing together insights from infrastructure studies, mobility studies, and settler colonial studies, uneven mobilities is a concept that historicizes mobility research in terms of colonial and carceral logics. Using this concept, the article provides insight into political actors, namely incarcerated forced laborers of Japanese descent, whose unjust confinement and forced labor on this infrastructural route remained unacknowledged until recently. The article relies on a range of archival sources that engage the visual culture of the highway and the subtle linkages between an imagined scenic landscape and an imagined multicultural Canada. The article also narrates this highway route by constructing pictorial and landscape relationships of colonialism and carcerality, linking it to uneven mobilities and economic development through the ubiquitous highway road sign—a contemporary initiative to mark and interpret sites of historical and cultural importance along this and other BC routes. The article then explores the infrastructural politics of this route at the scale of the body to highlight modes of resistance. This article advances a tentative theory of uneven mobilities by centering so-called road disturbances through acts of resistance such as rest, play, and work stoppages to reveal how uneven mobilities are entwined with the production of embodied subjectivities.

不均匀的机动性
摘要本文以加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)的一条区域公路Hope-Princeton Highway为研究对象,从不均匀交通的角度进行了研究。汇集了基础设施研究、流动性研究和定居者殖民研究的见解,不均匀流动性是一个将流动性研究历史化为殖民地和殖民地逻辑的概念。利用这一概念,文章提供了对政治行为者的洞察,即被监禁的日本血统的强迫劳工,他们在这条基础设施路线上的不公正监禁和强迫劳动直到最近才得到承认。这篇文章依赖于一系列的档案资料,这些资料涉及高速公路的视觉文化,以及想象中的风景景观和想象中的多元文化加拿大之间的微妙联系。文章还通过构建殖民主义和殖民主义的图像和景观关系来叙述这条高速公路路线,通过无处不在的高速公路路标将其与不平衡的流动性和经济发展联系起来——这是一个当代倡议,用于标记和解释沿着这条路线和其他不列颠哥伦比亚省路线的历史和文化重要性。然后,文章在身体的尺度上探讨了这条路线的基础政治,以突出抵抗的模式。本文以所谓的道路干扰为中心,通过休息、玩耍和停工等抵抗行为,提出了一个关于不均匀流动性的试探性理论,以揭示不均匀流动性是如何与具体化主体性的生产交织在一起的。
