Techniques of Finitude: On the Pastoral Matrix of Economic Care 有限的技巧论经济关怀的牧灵矩阵

Building and expanding on Foucault’s work, this essay interprets pastoral power as a turning point within the long-term history of the care of the self. Through an analysis of early Christian monasticism, it claims that the pastorate emerged out of a re-conceptualization of ancient understandings of human finitude and a correlative transformation of the techniques revolving around it. Pastoral power instantiates a specific way of framing institutionally the subject’s opening to the limits. The argument thus suggests how, and to what extent, this matrix of government still determines, albeit under a different guise, the current political phase, especially in as far as economic governmentality and its call to the indefinite self-enhancement of subjectivity are concerned.
这篇文章以福柯的著作为基础并加以扩展,将牧师权力解释为自我关怀长期历史中的一个转折点。通过对早期基督教修道院主义的分析,本文认为牧师制度的产生源于对人类有限性的古老理解的重新概念化,以及围绕这种理解的相关技术变革。牧师的权力体现了一种特定的方式,从制度上确定了主体向极限的开放。因此,这一论点表明,这种政府矩阵如何以及在多大程度上仍然决定着当前的政治阶段,尽管是在不同的伪装之下,尤其是就经济政府性及其对主体性无限自我强化的呼唤而言。

In Excess of Decolonization: The Sovereignty of Childhood in The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon 非殖民化的过剩:弗朗茨-法农《大地的悲哀》中的童年主权

Hugo Bujon
This article questions the place of the child in the metaphysics and imaginary of Western colonization, racialization, and decolonization. In the last chapter of The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon, children appear not only as victims but also as a problem for which Fanon struggles to account as a theorist of decolonization as much as a psychiatric practitioner. Through a reading of one of the cases, this article interrogates the ways in which colonization attempts to infantilize colonized populations while erasing childhood, and the ways in which decolonization meets colonization by regarding childhood in the end as a misfortune. The work of decolonization, to proceed, thus would demand us to rethink childhood, and in doing so break free of Western metaphysics.
本文质疑儿童在西方殖民化、种族化和非殖民化的形而上学和想象中的地位。在弗朗茨-法农(Frantz Fanon)所著《地球上的不幸者》(The Wretched of the Earth)的最后一章中,儿童不仅是受害者,也是法农作为非殖民化理论家和精神病学家努力要解决的问题。本文通过对其中一个案例的解读,探究了殖民化在抹杀童年的同时试图使殖民地人口幼稚化的方式,以及非殖民化最终将童年视为一种不幸,从而与殖民化相遇的方式。因此,非殖民化工作要求我们重新思考童年,从而摆脱西方形而上学的束缚。

After Critique: Cynicism, Scepticism and the Politics of Laughter 批判之后玩世不恭、怀疑主义和笑的政治学
Pub Date : 2023-12-22 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231211899
B. Korf
In 1983, two philosophers, Michel Foucault and Peter Sloterdijk, engaged with ancient Cynicism and the outspokenness and laughter of Diogenes as a critical practice. Foucault and Sloterdijk did so to position themselves ‘after’ critique: ‘after’ a period of and ‘beyond’ a certain style of dogmatism and theoretical deadlocks that troubled left thinking in the early 1980s (and continue to do so today). I show how Foucault and Sloterdijk, while differing in their critical politics, both read Diogenes’ politics of truth as radical subversive otherness. While Diogenes performed this antagonizing critique from a subaltern position, his politics nevertheless risked ending up in a self-righteous intransigence to know the truth. As an alternative, I turn to another politics of laughter in Hellenistic philosophy, that of the Thracian Maid, and its sceptical impulse that is situated ‘before’, ‘beyond’ and ‘after’ critique in the space of what Hans Blumenberg calls Nachdenklichkeit (pensiveness).
1983 年,两位哲学家米歇尔-福柯(Michel Foucault)和彼得-斯洛特戴克(Peter Sloterdijk)将古代犬儒主义和第欧根尼的直言不讳和大笑作为一种批判实践。福柯和斯洛特迪克这样做是为了将自己定位在 "批判之后":"在 "一段教条主义和理论僵局的时期之后,并 "超越 "这种教条主义和理论僵局,这种教条主义和理论僵局在 20 世纪 80 年代初困扰着左翼思想界(至今仍在困扰着左翼思想界)。我将展示福柯和斯洛特迪克是如何将第欧根尼的真理政治解读为激进的颠覆性他者,虽然他们的批判政治各不相同。虽然第欧根尼从一个次等的立场出发进行了这种对抗性批判,但他的政治学却有可能以一种自以为是的对真理的顽固不化而告终。作为另一种选择,我转向希腊哲学中的另一种笑的政治--色雷斯女仆的笑的政治,及其在汉斯-布卢门贝格所称的 "笔性"(Nachdenklichkeit)空间中 "先于"、"超越 "和 "后于 "批判的怀疑冲动。

Orienting Care: Boris Groys, Philosophy of Care 护理定位:鲍里斯-格罗伊斯,护理哲学
Pub Date : 2023-11-29 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231207032
Daniel Ross
In Philosophy of Care, Boris Groys undertakes a reading of key philosophical texts in terms of the relationship between self-care and care, as a way of trying to reinvigorate the question of health beyond its current instantiation in biopolitical life and algorithmic life. He passes through Socrates, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kojève, Bataille, Heidegger and others, culminating in Bogdanov’s distinction between egressive and degressive organization and his cosmist-immortalist dreams. The philosophy outlined by Groys is questioned here through the prism of the work of Bernard Stiegler, in particular via the distinction between labour and work, a re-reading of Hegel on the master-slave dialectic, an interpretation of the meaning of defunctionalization, and an account of the necessity of reorienting ourselves in thought so as to make possible a new economy of care, which depends on the possibility of fostering new processes of sublimation.
在《关怀的哲学》一书中,鲍里斯-格罗伊斯从自我关怀与关怀之间的关系出发,对重要的哲学文本进行了解读,试图通过这种方式重振健康问题,使其超越目前在生物政治生活和算法生活中的表现形式。他通过苏格拉底、黑格尔、尼采、科耶夫、巴塔耶、海德格尔等人,最终将波格丹诺夫对进步组织和退化组织的区分以及他的宇宙不朽主义梦想推向高潮。格罗伊斯概述的哲学在这里通过伯纳德-斯蒂格勒作品的棱镜受到质疑,特别是通过劳动与工作的区别、对黑格尔关于主奴辩证法的重新解读、对去功能化含义的诠释,以及对在思想上重新定位的必要性的论述,从而使新的关怀经济成为可能,这取决于促进新的升华过程的可能性。

Is Anti-totalitarian Theory Still Relevant? The Example of Claude Lefort 反极权主义理论仍有现实意义吗?克劳德-勒福的例子
Pub Date : 2023-11-29 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231204786
Dick Howard
After asking whether the concept of totalitarianism still has a meaning in today’s world, and whether its critique makes political sense, the author turns to the model provided by the two phases of Claude Lefort’s attempts to understand totalitarianism over the past 60 years. He distinguishes two distinct phases; the first is framed by critical Marxism, the second influenced by the phenomenology of the late Merleau-Ponty. The author stresses Lefort’s major works, including the role of his pathbreaking work on Machiavelli, ‘ La critique du totalitarisme et l’invention de la démocratie’, ‘ Un homme en trop’ (on Solzenhitsyn and the Goulag), and ‘ La complication’ (which rejects the oversimplified interpretation of totalitarianism as simply an ideology).
在提出极权主义的概念在当今世界是否仍有意义以及对其批判是否具有政治意义的问题后,作者转向克劳德-勒福尔在过去 60 年中试图理解极权主义的两个阶段所提供的模式。他区分了两个不同的阶段:第一个阶段以批判的马克思主义为框架,第二个阶段受到晚期梅洛-庞蒂现象学的影响。作者强调了勒福尔的主要作品,包括他关于马基雅维利的开创性著作《极权主义批判与民主的发明》、《一个热带人》(关于索尔仁尼琴和古拉格)以及《复杂性》(反对将极权主义简单地解释为一种意识形态)。

Stuart Hall and the Introduction of Althusser in Cultural Studies: A Thinker of Difference 斯图尔特-霍尔与阿尔都塞在文化研究中的引入:差异思想家
Pub Date : 2023-11-20 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231203183
Vicente Montenegro
This article focuses on Stuart Hall’s reading of Louis Althusser’s main theoretical works. Since the early 1970s, Hall has undertaken a critical confrontation with Althusser’s ‘structural Marxism’, rescuing those useful concepts to think cultural difference and identity, without failing to criticize his ‘superstructuralist’ interpretation of Marx. However, what Hall will retain as Althusser’s most important contribution is, above all, his theory of ideology. In this context, I follow an idea formulated by Hall that could be read as summarizing the theoretical and political scope of Althusser’s contribution to Cultural Studies: ‘he enabled me to live in and with difference’. By complicating classical interpretations schemes in the Marxist tradition, Hall’s Althusser may be read as a ‘thinker of difference’ who opens up a whole research program to reconsider class conflicts as traversed (or ‘overdetermined’) by gender, racial or colonial conflicts.
本文重点论述斯图尔特-霍尔对路易斯-阿尔都塞主要理论著作的解读。自 20 世纪 70 年代初以来,霍尔对阿尔都塞的 "结构性马克思主义 "进行了批判性的对抗,拯救了那些对思考文化差异和身份认同有用的概念,同时也不忘批评他对马克思的 "超结构主义 "解释。然而,霍尔认为阿尔都塞最重要的贡献首先是他的意识形态理论。在此背景下,我沿用霍尔提出的一个观点来概括阿尔都塞对文化研究的理论和政治贡献:"他使我能够生活在差异之中,并与差异共存"。通过将马克思主义传统中的经典解释方案复杂化,霍尔笔下的阿尔都塞可以被解读为一位 "差异思想家",他开辟了一整套研究计划,重新考虑被性别、种族或殖民地冲突所穿越(或 "过度决定")的阶级冲突。

Pastoral Power and Revolution: Beyond Secularization and Political Theology 牧师的权力与革命:超越世俗化和政治神学
Pub Date : 2023-11-17 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231203572
Elettra Stimilli
When stressing how ‘Christian pastoral power’ defined the specificity of ‘governmental power’, Foucault never explicitly acknowledged the German debate on modernity or theological-political issues. My hypothesis is that – whatever the actual reasons for this omission might be – this oversight is symptomatic of Foucault’s unique interpretation of the role of Christianity in Western culture and of his different approach to the theme of power. After analysing the positions of two of the leading exponents of the German debate, Karl Löwith and Carl Schmitt, the essay substantiates this hypothesis by looking at Foucault’s investigations of pastoral power. In particular, the essay aims to demonstrate how the latter’s apparent omissions are linked to Foucault’s challenge to two central questions in the 20th-century debate on modernity, namely: (1) the possibility of interpreting modern political revolutions as expressions of a linear and secularized vision of history; and (2) the centrality of the category of sovereignty in the definition of Western power.
在强调 "基督教牧师权力 "如何界定 "政府权力 "的特殊性时,福柯从未明确承认德国关于现代性或神学政治问题的辩论。我的假设是--无论这一疏忽的实际原因是什么--这一疏忽体现了福柯对基督教在西方文化中的作用的独特阐释,以及他对权力主题的不同态度。在分析了卡尔-勒维茨和卡尔-施密特这两位德国辩论的主要代表人物的立场之后,文章通过研究福柯对牧师权力的研究证实了这一假设。特别是,文章旨在说明后者明显的疏忽是如何与福柯对 20 世纪现代性辩论中两个核心问题的挑战联系在一起的,这两个问题是:(1) 将现代政治革命解释为线性和世俗化历史观的表达的可能性;(2) 主权范畴在西方权力定义中的核心地位。

Why Do Experts and Amateurs Diverge in Their Tastings? A Pragmatic Analysis of Perception 为什么专家和业余爱好者的品酒风格迥异?对感知的实用分析
Pub Date : 2023-11-17 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231203185
Geneviève Teil
This pragmatic study addresses the question of the plural realities that emerge from perception, based on an empirical analysis of the tasting activity of wine amateurs and olfactory experts. Though they share the same requirement of rooting taste in the product under scrutiny, they also significantly differ regarding the constraints with which their tasting results have to comply: repeatability for experts’ tasting results, and activity contiunuation for amateurs. Both therefore foster the emergence of two contrasting realities: a stabilized one for experts; an ‘un-stabilized’ one for amateurs. Both happen to fit with the ‘fiction’ and the ‘reference’ modes of existence of Latour’s inventory, which extends and relaunches the analysis of the coexistence of activities initiated by the works on ‘boundary objects’ some decades ago. Finally, the notion of taste is reinterpreted as a translation operator between tasting realities.
这项实用性研究通过对葡萄酒业余爱好者和嗅觉专家的品酒活动进行实证分析,探讨了感知所产生的多元现实问题。虽然他们都有将味觉植根于所研究产品的相同要求,但他们的品尝结果必须符合的限制条件也大相径庭:专家的品尝结果具有可重复性,而业余爱好者的品尝活动则具有持续性。因此,两者都会产生两种截然不同的现实:专家的现实是稳定的,业余爱好者的现实是 "不稳定 "的。这两种情况恰好与拉图尔清单中的 "虚构 "和 "参照 "存在模式相吻合,从而扩展并重新启动了数十年前由 "边界物品 "作品启动的对活动共存的分析。最后,"品位 "的概念被重新诠释为品位现实之间的翻译操作。

Transforming Toxic Materialities: Microbes in Anthropogenically Polluted Soils 转化有毒物质:人为污染土壤中的微生物
Pub Date : 2023-09-07 DOI: 10.1177/02632764231187580

In this essay, I explore non-human multispecies interactions in soils polluted by electronic waste and subsequently bioremediated by plants and microbes. I argue that regenerative transformation in polluted soil environments is principally through microbial degradation, a significant process for survival amidst disaster. In doing so, I combine two separate research areas – the materiality of electronic waste and of soils – thus contributing to theorization on the persistent problem of anthropogenically polluted soils. I do so by examining the process of bioremediation, which ties anthropogenic pollution with underground soil processes, notably those that occur at the soil interface surrounding plant roots, the rhizosphere. Using empirical examples from scientific literature on the bioremediation of electronic waste-contaminated soils in China, I demonstrate that degradation, symbiosis, and sequestration are instrumental processes in polluted soils. The micro-scaled perspective of these relational processes and their toxic alterlives contributes to materialist, chemosocial understandings of toxic and polluted environments.
在这篇文章中,我探讨了被电子废物污染的土壤中非人类的多物种相互作用,随后由植物和微生物进行生物修复。我认为污染土壤环境中的再生转化主要是通过微生物降解,这是在灾难中生存的重要过程。在此过程中,我将两个独立的研究领域——电子废物的物质性和土壤的物质性——结合起来,从而有助于将人为污染土壤这一持久问题理论化。我通过研究生物修复过程来做到这一点,生物修复过程将人为污染与地下土壤过程联系起来,特别是那些发生在植物根系周围土壤界面的过程,即根际。利用中国电子垃圾污染土壤生物修复科学文献中的实证例子,我证明了降解、共生和固存是污染土壤中的工具过程。这些相关过程及其有毒替代品的微观视角有助于对有毒和污染环境的唯物主义,化学社会理解。

The micro-scaled perspective of these relational processes and their toxic alterlives contributes to materialist, chemosocial understandings of toxic and polluted environments.","PeriodicalId":227485,"journal":{"name":"Theory, Culture & Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134002645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the critical challenges of our contemporary world is rethinking temporality to face the global catastrophe of the Anthropocene. Recent theories in social sciences and philosophy envision a new conceptualization of our biosphere in which human and non-human life forms, inert objects, and technological devices are entangled. However, these approaches present two major problems: a) they affirm that organic and inorganic processes are ontologically symmetrical and have the same type of agency; and b) they consider that technicity on planet Earth emerges in the hominization process. In this work, we will develop a genealogy of our biosphere that proposes an ecological and untimely alternative: life, from its earliest beginning, is a technical phenomenon that changes the face of the universe.
我们当代世界面临的重大挑战之一是重新思考时间性,以面对人类世的全球灾难。最近的社会科学和哲学理论设想了一个新的生物圈概念,在这个生物圈中,人类和非人类的生命形式、惰性物体和技术设备纠缠在一起。然而,这些方法存在两个主要问题:a)它们肯定有机和无机过程在本体论上是对称的,并且具有相同类型的代理;b)他们认为地球上的技术是在人族化过程中出现的。在这项工作中,我们将发展我们生物圈的谱系,提出一个生态的和不合时宜的选择:生命,从它最早的开始,是一种改变宇宙面貌的技术现象。
