ABSTRACT This brief exploration focuses on a perhaps more elusive and implicit kind of shock incited by the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ll explore the politics of transgressing the norms, laws and restrictions put into effect by governments attempting to contain the novel coronavirus’ spreading, with the discussion focusing on the nightlife that emerged not besides, but because of the pandemic, and the affective dimension it entails. To accomplish this, I locate myself where some of the most obscene scenes, numbers and failures that bear the hallmark of COVID-19 have been appearing, Brazil. This way, I underline the enduring effects of colonialism and racism in the Brazilian case when it comes to obtaining enjoyment and the right to transgress.
本文简要探讨了COVID-19大流行引发的一种可能更难以捉摸、更含蓄的冲击。我将探讨违反政府为遏制新型冠状病毒传播而实施的规范、法律和限制的政治,讨论重点是由于疫情而出现的夜生活,以及它所带来的情感维度。为了实现这一目标,我将自己定位在一些最淫秽的场景、数字和具有COVID-19标志的失败正在出现的地方——巴西。通过这种方式,我强调在巴西的案例中,殖民主义和种族主义在获得享受和违法权利方面的持久影响。

Elite and popular contradictions in security coordination: overcoming the binary distinction of the Israeli coloniser and the colonised Palestinian 安全协调中的精英与民众矛盾:克服以色列殖民者与被殖民巴勒斯坦人的二元区分

ABSTRACT Settler colonial theory has made a hugely significant contribution to the theorisation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but there is a danger that its application to the specific practice of security coordination could simply render the practice as an instrument of settler colonial rule. In this article, we would like to propose the important qualification that Coordination is, in practice, deeply conflicted and subject to multiple internal pressures, which extend from elites to public opinion. In accepting that Coordination can be appropriately viewed through a settler colonial lens, we would like to argue that it can also be viewed from ‘below’, and as an object of domestic political struggle that is implicated in legitimisation processes. Coordination is therefore simultaneously renounced and retained as part of the survival strategy of assorted elite groups. In order to demonstrate this, we reference Elite theory, interviews and online materials. Moreover, internal Palestinian divides suggest that opposition is more incomplete, partial and reactive within the neoliberal and settler colonial context.
摘要定居者殖民理论为巴以冲突的理论化做出了巨大贡献,但将其应用于安全协调的具体实践可能会使其成为定居者殖民统治的工具。在这篇文章中,我们想提出一个重要的条件,即协调在实践中是深度冲突的,并受到从精英到舆论的多重内部压力。在接受协调可以通过定居者殖民主义的视角来适当看待时,我们想说,它也可以从“下面”来看待,并被视为与合法化进程有关的国内政治斗争的对象。因此,协调作为各类精英群体生存战略的一部分同时被放弃和保留。为了证明这一点,我们参考了精英理论、访谈和在线材料。此外,巴勒斯坦内部的分歧表明,在新自由主义和定居者殖民背景下,反对派更加不完整、片面和被动。

A tale of two currencies: talking about money and (De)Securitising moves in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum 两种货币的故事:在2014年苏格兰独立公投中谈论货币和(去)证券化举措

ABSTRACT This article investigates a ‘tale of two currencies’ that played out during the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum. Taking our cue from securitisation literature, we examine what happens when currency is framed as a security issue and threat. Studying this case, however, we find that the Copenhagen School underestimate the ability of actors to perform (de)securitising moves within interactive games about financial security. In such instances, we contend that currency can have significant yet unpredictable effects on how security can be spoken, enacted, and contested. Drawing attention to the heated debates that erupted during the two televised debates aired by STV and BBC, we reveal that the question of currency shaped the ‘Better Together’ and ‘Yes’ campaigns during the 2014 referendum in divergent ways. In the process, we find that currency offers new opportunities for understanding how money can speak security in Scotland and beyond.
摘要本文调查了2014年苏格兰独立公投期间上演的“两种货币的故事”。根据证券化文献,我们研究了当货币被定义为安全问题和威胁时会发生什么。然而,研究这一案例,我们发现哥本哈根学派低估了参与者在关于金融安全的互动游戏中执行(去)证券化动作的能力。在这种情况下,我们认为,货币可能会对安全的言论、实施和争议产生重大但不可预测的影响。我们注意到STV和BBC播出的两次电视辩论中爆发的激烈辩论,我们发现货币问题以不同的方式影响了2014年公投期间的“一起更好”和“支持”运动。在这个过程中,我们发现货币为理解货币如何在苏格兰及其他地区表达安全提供了新的机会。

A critical study of space in the geopolitics of terrorism 恐怖主义地缘政治中的空间批判研究
IF 1.6 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-19 DOI: 10.1080/21624887.2021.1875713
Tianyang Liu, Tianru Guan
ABSTRACT This article theorises epistemologies of ‘space’ in critical studies on terrorism, expanding the research agenda beyond the straitjacket of historicism and discourse-centrism. It traces two theoretical approaches: 1) rescaling terrorism as mundane, situated and private, and 2) treating the ‘space’ of terrorism as a liminal zone between potentiality and anticipatory space-making. This critical spatial lens offers new insights to CTS. In terms of securitisation, this perspective is attentive to the ‘space of securitisation’, the dynamics of space, or space as a discursive process and a subject constitutive of securitisation. In the study of radicalisation, it can help us understand how space and the psychological interpretation of material conditions are co-constituted to shape the process of radicalisation. Finally, it also creates new possibilities for CTS practitioners to employ the embodied, embodying and sensory dimensions of violence, involving not only visual and material dimensions but also sound and hearing, to form an individualised form of resistance against state terrorism. This article attempts to systematically map the permutations of new theoretical and conceptual developments in the critical studies on the spatiality of terrorism.
本文将恐怖主义批判研究中的“空间”认识论理论化,将研究议程扩展到历史主义和话语中心主义的束缚之外。它追溯了两种理论方法:1)将恐怖主义重新定义为世俗的,定位的和私人的,2)将恐怖主义的“空间”视为潜在和预期空间制造之间的界限区域。这个关键的空间透镜为CTS提供了新的见解。就证券化而言,这一视角关注“证券化的空间”,空间的动态,或空间作为一个话语过程和构成证券化的主体。在激进化的研究中,它可以帮助我们理解空间和物质条件的心理解释是如何共同构成来塑造激进化的过程的。最后,它也为CTS从业者创造了新的可能性,利用暴力的具体化、具体化和感官维度,不仅包括视觉和物质维度,还包括声音和听觉,形成一种个性化的抵抗国家恐怖主义的形式。本文试图系统地描绘恐怖主义空间性批判性研究中新的理论和概念发展的排列。

Telling our racism and sexism stories safely is a global security problem: a conversation between complainers 安全地讲述我们的种族主义和性别歧视故事是一个全球安全问题:投诉者之间的对话

ABSTRACT In this imagined conversation with an indie music singer-song writer and artist, Lee Lang, I creatively explore what it means to understand racism and sexism as global security problems. Reframing academic conversations about security and politics in everyday contexts and language, the conversation shares the lived experiences of two Korean women as we make our respective ways in our chosen professions from different locations. Making decisions and telling stories safely emerge as major security and political problems we share, and intimately understand. By making this deeply human and personal scale intervention, I critically reposition academia’s relationship to solving important ‘strange questions’ of our times, and invite people to stop hiding behind institutions to perpetuate hierarchy and discriminatory and exploitative practices.
摘要在与独立音乐歌手、歌曲作家和艺术家李郎的对话中,我创造性地探索了将种族主义和性别歧视理解为全球安全问题意味着什么。在日常环境和语言中重新构建了关于安全和政治的学术对话,对话分享了两位韩国女性的生活经历,她们在不同的地方选择了各自的职业。安全地做出决定和讲述故事成为我们共同关心并密切了解的重大安全和政治问题。通过进行这种深入的人类和个人层面的干预,我批判性地重新定位了学术界与解决我们时代重要的“奇怪问题”的关系,并邀请人们停止躲在机构后面,使等级制度、歧视和剥削行为永久化。

Racial hierarchies of knowledge production in the Women, Peace and Security agenda 妇女、和平与安全议程中知识生产的种族等级制度

ABSTRACT In this article, we address hierarchies of knowledge production that have emerged in the two decades of researching the global normative framework, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. We argue that through the constitution of Centres of Excellence (CoE), the well-meaning processes of producing WPS knowledge can reify prevailing global racial hierarchies. We find that these processes rather than achieving emancipatory feminist outcomes can instead serve to narrow the scope of inquiry, pushing marginalised peoples further to the margins.
摘要在这篇文章中,我们讨论了在20年的全球规范框架——妇女、和平与安全议程研究中出现的知识生产层次。我们认为,通过建立卓越中心(CoE),产生WPS知识的善意过程可以具体化普遍存在的全球种族等级制度。我们发现,这些过程非但不能实现解放的女权主义成果,反而会缩小调查范围,将边缘化人群进一步推向边缘。

Decolonising pandemic politics: a view from North Africa 非殖民化流行病政治:来自北非的观点

The coronavirus pandemic coincides with and exacerbates a multifaceted global crisis: political, economic, social, environmental and climatic. In other words, we are currently experiencing a crisis of a patriarchal, racial capitalist system, which will have grave and disproportionate impacts on the vulnerable and marginalised groups, especially in countries of the Global South. Moreover, the pandemic is not merely a health issue; it is also an environmental one. In fact, the emergence of the coronavirus is linked to the capitalist destruction of eco-systems through intensive agribusiness and industrial animal farming as well as the commodification of nature through extractivism, land grabbing, deforestation and loss of habitat (Wallace et al. 2020). Basically, we cannot consider this pandemic as an isolated event unrelated to the global ecological crisis. What we are living now is a taster of worse things to come if we do not take the necessary measures and implement just solutions to the unfolding climate crisis. Before I delve into some details from North Africa, I would like to make a few preliminary points. The endeavour to decolonise pandemic politics needs to take into consideration two important elements:
冠状病毒大流行恰逢并加剧了政治、经济、社会、环境和气候等多方面的全球危机。换句话说,我们目前正在经历一场宗法、种族资本主义制度的危机,这将对脆弱和边缘化群体产生严重和不成比例的影响,特别是在全球南方国家。此外,大流行不仅是一个健康问题;这也是一个环境问题。事实上,冠状病毒的出现与资本主义通过集约化农业综合企业和工业化畜牧业破坏生态系统,以及通过采掘、土地掠夺、森林砍伐和栖息地丧失使自然商品化有关(Wallace et al. 2020)。基本上,我们不能把这次大流行视为与全球生态危机无关的孤立事件。如果我们不采取必要的措施,实施公正的解决方案来应对不断发展的气候危机,我们现在的生活就是对更糟糕的事情的一种品尝。在详细介绍北非情况之前,我想先谈几点初步看法。使流行病政治非殖民化的努力需要考虑到两个重要因素:

The affirmative power of presence through absence, online 在线上,通过缺席而存在的肯定力量
IF 1.6 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/21624887.2021.1904362
Erzsébet Strausz
As I was preparing for my first fully online course in September, I remember distinctly that feeling of uncertainty, even anxiety, emanating from the fact that whoever would end up sharing the online space that I was planning, creating, crafting in that moment, would not have met each other in person. None of the students had met either their peers, or me, their instructor, face-to-face, and we all knew that it would stay like that for the entire term. We would hear each other’s voices and see images of faces and upper bodies distorted by different intensities of light, framed by doors, pets, plants and accidental visitors. This was different to the switch to online teaching as an emergency measure that happened earlier in the Spring. After several weeks of ‘conventional’ in person exchanges, what had been built collectively and personally until that time – perceptions, habits, a modus operandi that comes with some element of trust – came to a test in a new setting; yet there was something there to be tested and probed into, and as such, to rely on. That subtle, invisible band of information that wraps around bodies and composes experiences as people move in and out of physical spaces was not going to be there this time. The affective, emotive hinges that we sense and make sense of, through which we work situations out and ‘get’ things and people, or at least the seeming naturalness of these unconscious mechanisms when bodies are co-present, would be limited. The intangible yet very much present trails of thoughts, feelings, and actions that belong to a person and carry their information, energy and ‘beingness’ within a limited distance, almost palpably, as a silent, unuttered, unconscious ‘hello’ to others, creating momentary exposures to the infinite complexity of another world, would not be accessible. ‘Everyone will arrive in their own cocoon’ – I thought to myself – ‘and will remain there, at least for some time, if not for the whole course. What is my role as a teacher here?’ Somewhat more poignantly, this question begs another, more fundamental one: what would be my role otherwise? I have been thinking with and along Jacques Rancière’s figure of ‘the ignorant schoolmaster’ (1991) for several years now. I had come to the temporary conclusion that my main task is not to explain, let alone, alluding to Freire, ‘deposit’ knowledge or information in anyone’s head (Freire 2000, 72). There are several lines that I formulated for myself to actualise this sentiment for my own teaching practice, one of which sounded like this: ‘I want to affirm to my students that they are capable of figuring things out for themselves’.

当我在九月准备我的第一个完全的在线课程时,我清楚地记得那种不确定的感觉,甚至焦虑,源于这样一个事实:无论谁最终会分享我在那一刻计划、创造和制作的在线空间,都不会亲自见过对方。没有一个学生见过他们的同学,也没有见过我,他们的导师,我们都知道整个学期都会是这样。我们会听到彼此的声音,看到被不同强度的光扭曲的面孔和上半身的图像,被门、宠物、植物和偶然的访客框起来。这与春季早些时候作为紧急措施转向在线教学不同。经过几周的“传统”面对面交流,在此之前集体和个人建立起来的东西——感知、习惯、一种带有某种信任元素的操作方式——在一个新的环境中受到了考验;然而,还是有一些东西需要测试和探索,因此,需要依靠。当人们进出物理空间时,包裹在身体周围、构成体验的那种微妙的、看不见的信息带,这次将不复存在。我们感知和理解的情感铰链,即我们解决问题并“获得”事物和人的纽带,或者至少当身体共同存在时,这些无意识机制的表面自然性将受到限制。那些属于一个人的思想、感情和行动的无形但却非常现实的痕迹,它们在有限的距离内携带着他们的信息、能量和“存在”,几乎是显而易见的,就像对他人无声、无言、无意识的“你好”一样,创造了对另一个世界无限复杂性的瞬间暴露,这些都是不可接近的。“每个人都会回到自己的茧里,”我对自己说,“并且会在那里呆上一段时间,如果不是整个过程的话。”在这里,我作为老师的角色是什么?更尖锐的是,这个问题引出了另一个更根本的问题:否则我的角色会是什么?几年来,我一直在思考雅克·朗西的“无知的校长”(1991)这个形象。我暂时得出结论,我的主要任务不是解释,更不用说像弗莱雷那样,在任何人的头脑中“储存”知识或信息(弗莱雷2000,72)。为了在自己的教学实践中实现这一观点,我为自己制定了几句话,其中一条听起来是这样的:“我想向我的学生们肯定,他们有能力自己解决问题。”也就是说,我只需要找到一种方法来帮助他们转向内心,这样他们就可以挖掘自己思想的无限力量,并学习如何使用它,如何以开放和好奇的态度拥有它。“我只是作为一个‘消失的调解人’在附近徘徊,听人们讲述他们是如何‘讲得通’的。”我将在那里提示,挑起,煽动反思,并“验证”“关注”的工作(ranci 1991, 31-33)。然后,我会退后一步,让剩下的过程按照每个人自己的模式来处理,以他们自己独特的方式融入他们的学习旅程。”然后,我的工作——我想——就差不多完成了。

None of the students had met either their peers, or me, their instructor, face-to-face, and we all knew that it would stay like that for the entire term. We would hear each other’s voices and see images of faces and upper bodies distorted by different intensities of light, framed by doors, pets, plants and accidental visitors. This was different to the switch to online teaching as an emergency measure that happened earlier in the Spring. After several weeks of ‘conventional’ in person exchanges, what had been built collectively and personally until that time – perceptions, habits, a modus operandi that comes with some element of trust – came to a test in a new setting; yet there was something there to be tested and probed into, and as such, to rely on. That subtle, invisible band of information that wraps around bodies and composes experiences as people move in and out of physical spaces was not going to be there this time. The affective, emotive hinges that we sense and make sense of, through which we work situations out and ‘get’ things and people, or at least the seeming naturalness of these unconscious mechanisms when bodies are co-present, would be limited. The intangible yet very much present trails of thoughts, feelings, and actions that belong to a person and carry their information, energy and ‘beingness’ within a limited distance, almost palpably, as a silent, unuttered, unconscious ‘hello’ to others, creating momentary exposures to the infinite complexity of another world, would not be accessible. ‘Everyone will arrive in their own cocoon’ – I thought to myself – ‘and will remain there, at least for some time, if not for the whole course. What is my role as a teacher here?’ Somewhat more poignantly, this question begs another, more fundamental one: what would be my role otherwise? I have been thinking with and along Jacques Rancière’s figure of ‘the ignorant schoolmaster’ (1991) for several years now. I had come to the temporary conclusion that my main task is not to explain, let alone, alluding to Freire, ‘deposit’ knowledge or information in anyone’s head (Freire 2000, 72). There are several lines that I formulated for myself to actualise this sentiment for my own teaching practice, one of which sounded like this: ‘I want to affirm to my students that they are capable of figuring things out for themselves’. That is, I just need to find a way to help them turn inwards so that they can tap into the infinite power of their own minds and learn how to work with it, how to own it with openness and curiosity. ‘I will just hang around as a “vanishing mediator”, and listen to accounts of how “sense” had been made.

Small state, big example: Covid pandemic management in Bhutan 小国家,大例子:不丹的新冠疫情管理

In a world with drastic and exacerbating inequalities where health and well-being have been supplanted by wealth and hell being, the pandemic is a complex global occurrence that affected different subsets of populations with variable intensity within and across national borders. The pandemic and the responses to it must force us yet again to rethink the most fundamental aspects of security and power. As many critical scholars have often argued, human security is not assured by increased defence budgets, and the idea of big powers and strong states mean little if that size and strength cannot translate into the well-being of the population. In this article, I reflect upon the reasons why a country like Bhutan has been able to successfully manage the pandemic in a way that many larger and wealthier nations have not. I have been substantively involved in studying Bhutan for over a decade and a half, having worked on analysing its transition to democracy and democratic consolidation between 2008 and 2018, and currently leading my research project on conceptualising an understanding of biodemocracy using Bhutan as an exemplar, which examines the political, developmental, and ecological dimensions of policymaking in this country. Bhutan is a small Himalayan country with significant resource constraints (a low-income country) and yet it did not lose a single person to the pandemic in 2020. As of late March 2021, there has been one Covid-related death in Bhutan of a 34-year-old man with chronic liver disease and renal failure, who tested positive for COVID-19 and died at a hospital in the capital Thimphu (“Bhutan reports,” 2021). While pandemic profiteering affects wealthy advanced democracies like the UK where allegations emerged of cronyism in the awarding of contracts and the lockdown policies were often shambolic, in Bhutan, from the very outset, the head of state, the government, the bureaucracy, and the citizenry came together to swiftly and substantively mitigate the public health crisis (see Ongmo and Parikh 2020). The first Covid patient in Bhutan in March 2020 was an American tourist, whose presentation was atypical, yet the dedicated procedures and swift decisionmaking meant that he was identified and treated. In addition, those attending to him were isolated and monitored, and provided with counselling for trauma afterwards (for details, see LeVine et al. 2020). Contact tracing in Bhutan has been rigorous and efficient. At a very early stage, on March 22nd, Bhutan instituted travel restrictions to prevent foreign import, and managed to avoid community transmission until very late in 2020. Travel facilities were arranged for those Bhutanese who were abroad and wished to return to the country. Anyone coming into the country was required to undergo tests and extended mandatory quarantine (21 instead of the usual 14 days) at designated hotels; this was paid for by the government. Until September 2020 (after which public cost sharing was introduce
在一个不平等现象严重且日益加剧的世界上,健康和福祉已被财富和地狱所取代,这一流行病是一种复杂的全球现象,影响着国家境内外不同的人口群体,其强度各不相同。这一大流行病及其应对措施必须再次迫使我们重新思考安全和权力的最基本方面。正如许多持批评态度的学者经常指出的那样,增加国防预算并不能保证人类安全,如果规模和实力不能转化为人民的福祉,那么大国和强国的概念就没有什么意义。在这篇文章中,我思考了为什么像不丹这样的国家能够以许多更大、更富裕的国家无法做到的方式成功地控制这一流行病。我一直在实质性地参与研究不丹超过十年半,曾在分析其过渡到民主和民主巩固2008年和2018年之间的工作,目前领导我的研究项目概念化生物民主的理解使用不丹为例,它检查了政治,发展和生态层面的政策制定在这个国家。不丹是一个资源严重受限的喜马拉雅小国(一个低收入国家),但它在2020年没有因大流行而失去一个人。截至2021年3月下旬,不丹有一名34岁的慢性肝病和肾衰竭患者与COVID-19相关死亡,他的COVID-19检测呈阳性,并在首都廷布的一家医院死亡(“不丹报告”,2021年)。虽然大流行的暴利行为影响了富裕的发达民主国家,如英国,在那里出现了在合同授予中任人自亲的指控,封锁政策往往是混乱的,但在不丹,从一开始,国家元首、政府、官僚机构和公民就团结起来,迅速而实质性地缓解了公共卫生危机(见Ongmo和Parikh 2020)。2020年3月,不丹的第一位新冠肺炎患者是一名美国游客,他的表现不典型,但专门的程序和迅速的决策意味着他得到了识别和治疗。此外,对那些照顾他的人进行隔离和监测,并在事后提供创伤咨询(详细信息,见LeVine et al. 2020)。不丹的接触者追踪工作严格而有效。在非常早期的阶段,3月22日,不丹制定了旅行限制以防止外国进口,并设法避免社区传播,直到2020年底。为那些在国外并希望回国的不丹人安排了旅行设施。任何进入该国的人都必须在指定的酒店接受检测和延长强制隔离(21天,而不是通常的14天);这是由政府支付的。截至2020年9月(引入公共费用分担制后),政府为14667人提供隔离设施的酒店支出了2.4827亿韩元(“分摊费用”,2020年)。不丹面临的流行病挑战并非微不足道;它与世界上人口最多的两个国家——印度和中国接壤,这两个国家都受到疫情的严重影响。它与它的过境国印度和其他国家有大量的贸易
