Abstract

In this article I present experiences of Egyptians too young to have taken part in the street protests and movement of the 2011 revolution. Today in their early twenties, they narrate their experiences during the early months of the uprising. None claimed to be revolutionaries then or now, but the revolution seems to animate them in complex and long-lasting ways. The January revolution failed to bring about change at the level of state power. Yet more is at stake than the political endgame. I turn my attention to how people narrate the revolution as a process of ethical reflection and self-formation through everyday relationships and settings that took on new meanings. These accounts challenge notions of what it means to participate in a revolution and where it is located and generate a conversation between the anthropology of ethics and the anthropology of revolutions.

道德的正常性与革命的异常性:家庭和学校中的道德自我与埃及一月革命
在这篇文章中,我介绍了一些埃及人的经历,他们太年轻,没有参加过 2011 年革命的街头抗议和运动。他们如今二十出头,讲述了他们在起义最初几个月的经历。无论当时还是现在,他们都没有宣称自己是革命者,但革命似乎以复杂而持久的方式激发了他们的热情。一月革命未能带来国家权力层面的变革。然而,比政治终局更重要的是。我将注意力转向人们如何将革命描述为一个通过日常关系和环境进行道德反思和自我塑造的过程,并赋予革命新的意义。这些叙述对参与革命的意义和革命的位置提出了挑战,并引发了伦理学人类学和革命人类学之间的对话。
