This article explores crisis as social dynamics spurred by events that not only disrupt the normal order of things, but also transmute into crisis processes that generate persisting hardship and problems of the ordinary. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the industrial zones of Northern Vietnam, the article highlights the ways in which women workers manage crisis as an underlying condition of daily life. Capturing the heterogeneity and volatility of crisis means to unravel the modalities, intensities and temporalities by which a specific crisis is composed, and to identify how it interlocks with socio-economic crisis antecedents, such as gender and class. While crisis takes different shapes and undergoes various phases, a crisis tends to entangle itself with already-existing crises, fuelling or even exacerbating those, while fostering crises entanglements that impose difficulties and harm upon lifeworlds. The differentiated ways in which particular social groups can mitigate crisis challenges and build social resilience depend on ‘horizons of coping’, which inform the scales and impacts of crises entanglements. Thus, crisis studies direct our attention towards human precariousness and societal inequalities, as well as the ways in which crises entanglements are counteracted, closed, navigated or endured in specific ethnographic contexts.
本文探讨了危机是由事件激发的社会动态,这些事件不仅破坏了事物的正常秩序,而且还转化为危机过程,产生持续的困难和普通问题。根据在越南北部工业区进行的民族志田野调查,这篇文章强调了女工将危机作为日常生活的基本条件来管理的方式。捕捉危机的异质性和波动性意味着揭示特定危机构成的模式、强度和时间性,并确定它如何与社会经济危机前兆(如性别和阶级)相互关联。虽然危机有不同的形式和经历不同的阶段,但危机往往会与已经存在的危机纠缠在一起,助长甚至加剧这些危机,同时助长危机纠缠,给生活世界带来困难和伤害。特定社会群体缓解危机挑战和建立社会复原力的不同方式取决于“应对视野”,这为危机纠缠的规模和影响提供了信息。因此,危机研究将我们的注意力引向人类的不稳定性和社会不平等,以及在特定的民族志背景下,危机纠缠是如何被抵消、关闭、导航或忍受的。

Thoughtful comparisons: how do genital cutting traditions change in Sudan? A reply to ‘The prosecution of Dawoodi Bohra women’ by Richard Shweder 深思熟虑的比较:切割生殖器的传统在苏丹是如何改变的?回复Richard Shweder的《Dawoodi Bohra妇女的起诉》

Male and female genital cutting are often similar social and moral undertakings in those societies where both are practised. Yet, they both vary widely in meanings and ritual practices in their many social contexts, and there are many societies where only males are circumcised or where neither gender is. Modifications to genitalia range widely in their risks of harm, which has recently begun to be seriously examined for males but that has been well known for females. In this article, we compare female and male genital cutting practices in Sudan, including questions about culture and religion, gender equality, health, rights and laws, and strategies for change to end female genital cutting. In contrast to Shweder’s view that both male and female genital circumcisions might be tolerated by the logic of cultural relativism and logical consistency, which serves to defend the practices of the Islamic sect known as the Dawoodi Bohra in their home country (India) and in the diaspora, we argue that it is important, and useful, to separate the issues of male and female genital cutting in the situation of predominantly Muslim Sudan. Since male genital cutting is well defended in Sudanese Islamic opinion, and since efforts to end the very serious female cutting – predominantly Type 3 – are advancing, we find Shweder’s ‘goose and gander’ moral equivalency argument unhelpful.Key messagesSudanese female genital mutilation or cutting is far more severe than the Dawoodi Bohra female circumcision cases discussed in Shweder’s article and should be ended urgently.Social norms and cultural and religious justifications for female genital mutilation or cutting in Sudan are weakening.The goal must be to end female genital mutilation or cutting completely, rather than to modify it to a lesser ‘sunna’ type, because the slippery labelling could end up preserving and reinforcing damaging practices.Sudanese male circumcision is no more severe than in other countries and remains strongly supported ideologically, making it unlikely to be challenged soon.Reformers are justified in pursuing urgent action against all forms of the female practice, while incongruence with policies on the male practice is acceptable for Sudan at this time.
在实行男性和女性生殖器切割的社会中,切割男性和女性生殖器往往是类似的社会和道德行为。然而,在不同的社会背景下,它们在意义和仪式实践上都有很大的不同,在许多社会中,只有男性接受割礼,或者男女都不接受割礼。改变生殖器的危害风险范围很广,最近开始对男性进行认真的研究,但对女性的研究已经广为人知。在这篇文章中,我们比较了苏丹女性和男性切割生殖器的做法,包括文化和宗教、性别平等、健康、权利和法律问题,以及结束女性生殖器切割的变革战略。Shweder的观点是,男性和女性生殖器割礼都可以被文化相对主义和逻辑一致性的逻辑所容忍,这有助于捍卫伊斯兰教派在他们的祖国(印度)和海外流散的做法,我们认为,在以穆斯林为主的苏丹,将男性和女性生殖器切割问题分开是重要的,也是有用的。由于在苏丹伊斯兰教的观点中,男性生殖器切割得到了很好的辩护,并且由于结束非常严重的女性生殖器切割(主要是3型)的努力正在推进,我们发现Shweder的“鹅和性别”道德等同的论点没有帮助。苏丹女性外阴残割或切割比Shweder文章中讨论的Dawoodi Bohra女性割礼案件严重得多,应该立即结束。在苏丹,切割女性生殖器官的社会规范以及文化和宗教理由正在减弱。目标必须是终止或完全终止女性生殖器切割,而不是将其修改为一种不那么“逊纳”的类型,因为模糊的标签最终可能会保留和加强破坏性的做法。苏丹男性包皮环切并不比其他国家更严重,并且在意识形态上仍然得到强烈支持,因此不太可能很快受到挑战。改革者有理由采取紧急行动反对一切形式的女性习俗,而苏丹目前可以接受与男性习俗政策不一致的做法。

Inspired by Richard Shweder’s paper, What about ‘Female Genital Mutilation?’ And Why Understanding Culture Matters in the First Place (MIT Press, 2000), I wrote the play Human Rites seeking to challenge audiences’ assumptions about the practice of circumcision among women, known colloquially as ‘female genital mutilation’ (FGM). Throughout the development of Human Rites, which involved research and extensive interaction with Shweder and Fuambai Sia Ahmadu (both of whom served as bases for characters in the play), I experienced anticipated and unanticipated pushback on the controversial perspectives voiced in the play, as well as the appropriateness of a Caucasian man authoring a play about black and brown women’s bodies. The two productions of Human Rites went on to generate highly engaged dialogue among audiences, as they grappled with their own, mostly unexamined pre-conceptions about FGM, the disparity in moral attitudes toward male and female circumcision, and the inherent moral authority Westerners often hold with regard to ‘primitive’ practices in other countries and cultures. Shweder’s subsequent paper ‘The prosecution of Dawoodi Bohra women: some reasonable doubts,’ has inspired a kind of sequel to Human Rites, that will interrogate the widely accepted practice of circumcision among infant boys in Western Jewish and Christian communities.
受到Richard Shweder论文的启发,如何看待“女性生殖器切割”?在《为什么理解文化至关重要》(麻省理工学院出版社,2000年)一书中,我写了剧本《人类仪式》,试图挑战观众对女性割礼(俗称“女性生殖器切割”)习俗的假设。在《人类仪式》的整个发展过程中,我与施维德和富安拜·西娅·阿赫玛杜(他们两人都是剧中角色的原型)进行了研究和广泛的互动,我经历了对剧中表达的有争议观点的预期和意外的反对,以及一个白人男性创作一部关于黑人和棕色人种女性身体的戏剧的适当性。《人类仪式》的两部作品继续在观众中引发了高度参与的对话,因为他们努力解决自己对女性生殖器切割的先入为主的观念,对男性和女性割礼的道德态度的差异,以及西方人通常对其他国家和文化的“原始”做法持有的固有道德权威。Shweder随后的论文《对Dawoodi Bohra妇女的起诉:一些合理的怀疑》启发了《人类仪式》的续集,它将质疑西方犹太和基督教社区中被广泛接受的男婴割礼习俗。

Macroeconomic equilibriums, crises and fiscal policy 宏观经济均衡、危机和财政政策

Macroeconomic crises are common as well as economically, socially and politically costly. Fiscal policy plays an important role in alleviating the costs of the crisis. However, recent experiences suggest that the public finances are often unprepared for a crisis. Deficits and debt levels prior to the crisis are commonly too high, limiting the government’s ability to support the economy through the crisis and the recovery phase. In this article, I argue that theoretical macroeconomic models’ underlying assumption of a stable long-run equilibrium may partially explain why governments fail to prepare the public finances for a future crisis. In the standard equilibrium models, crises are seen as one-off events caused by external factors, which creates a false impression of long-run economic stability. The models thus indirectly indicate that there is no need to prepare for a potential crisis. Using forecast data, I demonstrate how the equilibrium perspective dominates macroeconomic thinking and how it contributes to toohigh debt ratios prior to a crisis. I end the article by discussing how to design fiscal policy rules based on a crisis rather than an equilibrium perspective.Key messagesPublic finances are commonly unprepared for dealing with an economic crisis.This is partially explained by the economic models’ assumption of a stable long-run equilibrium.Incorporating a crisis perspective in the design of fiscal policy rules would improve welfare.
宏观经济危机很常见,而且在经济、社会和政治上代价高昂。财政政策在减轻危机成本方面发挥着重要作用。然而,最近的经验表明,公共财政往往对危机毫无准备。危机前的赤字和债务水平普遍过高,限制了政府在危机和复苏阶段支持经济的能力。在本文中,我认为理论宏观经济模型的基本假设是稳定的长期均衡,这可能部分解释了为什么政府未能为未来的危机做好公共财政准备。在标准均衡模型中,危机被视为由外部因素引起的一次性事件,这造成了对长期经济稳定的错误印象。因此,这些模型间接表明,没有必要为潜在的危机做准备。利用预测数据,我展示了均衡视角如何主导宏观经济思维,以及它如何导致危机前过高的负债率。在文章的最后,我讨论了如何基于危机而非均衡的视角来设计财政政策规则。主要信息公共财政通常没有做好应对经济危机的准备。经济模型对稳定的长期均衡的假设部分解释了这一点。在财政政策规则的设计中纳入危机视角将改善福利。

Crisis and society: developing the theory of crisis in the context of COVID-19 危机与社会:在新冠疫情背景下发展危机理论

The theory of crisis and society is advanced by developing a complex systems analysis and is applied to the COVID-19 pandemic. Five issues are identified, discussed and resolved: the definition of crisis; whether a crisis is treated as real or as a socially constructed narrative, or both; the underlying concept and theory of society and its alternative forms; and the different kinds of change in relationship between crisis and society (recuperation, intensification, transformation and catastrophe). This complex systems approach to crisis is applied to the COVID-19 pandemic, analysing the cascade of the crisis through institutional domains and the consequent changes to multiple regimes of inequality.
危机与社会理论是通过开发复杂的系统分析来推进的,并应用于COVID-19大流行。确定、讨论并解决了五个问题:危机的定义;一场危机是被视为真实的,还是被视为一种社会建构的叙事,还是两者兼而有之;社会的基本概念和理论及其替代形式;以及危机与社会关系的不同变化形式(复原、强化、转型、灾变)。这种处理危机的复杂系统方法适用于2019冠状病毒病大流行,通过制度领域分析危机的级联性,以及由此导致的多种不平等制度的变化。

Housing temporalities: state narratives and precarity in the Global South 住房临时性:全球南方的国家叙事和不稳定性

In the Global South, urban space is appropriated through diverse informal housing arrangements, with characteristic inherent and relational temporalities. While these forms of housing often consolidate through incremental growth, change in materials and perceived security, they also exist precariously through changing circumstances. While some urban scholars have discussed the characteristic in-betweenness of informality, others have noted the conceptual tension that policy holds in addressing this temporality. This article builds on these discussions to argue that the temporality within and across diverse informal housing arrangements matters not due to the ways in which it manifests, but due to what happens within it as a space of transformation, that is, of socio-economic and political mobility. It draws from literature across disciplines on mobilities, poverty and capabilities to posit that a conceptual frame of choice and agency is key to policy engagement with housing temporalities. The article locates this discussion in the city of Delhi, where cycles of evictions have broken large ‘slum’ clusters, or bastis, into further spatial and temporal configurations. The article uses two distinct housing models to illustrate narratives of the state across two sites: Savda Ghevra, a case of peripheral resettlement; and Kathputli Colony, a case of in-situ redevelopment. It reveals how the state not only does not recognise the temporality of self-made housing practices, but also sets into motion temporalities that, through the absence of choice and agency, create conditions for precarity, highlighting the need to keep choice and agency central to discourses on housing and well-being.Key messagesInformal housing arrangements in the Global South have inherent and relational temporalities.The temporality within and across housing arrangements holds within it a space of transformation.A conceptual frame of choice and agency is key to policy engagement with housing temporalities.The state often does not recognise the temporality of self-made housing, but rather sets into motion housing temporalities.An absence of choice and agency in housing discourses creates conditions for precarity.
在全球南方,城市空间是通过各种非正式住房安排来占用的,这些安排具有固有的和相关的时间性特征。虽然这些形式的住房往往通过增量增长、材料变化和感知安全而巩固,但它们也因环境变化而不稳定地存在。虽然一些城市学者讨论了非正式性的中间特征,但其他人注意到政策在解决这种时间性时所持有的概念张力。本文建立在这些讨论的基础上,认为各种非正式住房安排内部和之间的临时性并不是因为它的表现方式而重要,而是因为它作为一个转型空间发生了什么,即社会经济和政治流动性。它借鉴了关于流动性、贫困和能力的跨学科文献,假设选择和代理的概念框架是与住房临时性政策接触的关键。这篇文章的讨论地点在德里市,在那里,驱逐的循环已经打破了大型“贫民窟”集群,或基础,进一步的空间和时间配置。文章使用了两种不同的住房模型来说明国家在两个地点的叙述:Savda Ghevra,一个外围安置的案例;以及kathpuli Colony,这是一个原地重建的案例。它揭示了国家如何不仅不承认自制住房实践的临时性,而且还通过缺乏选择和代理来启动临时性,为不稳定创造条件,突出了在住房和福祉的话语中保持选择和代理的必要性。关键信息全球发展中国家的非正式住房安排具有内在的和相互关联的时间性。房屋安排内部和之间的时间性在其内部拥有一个转换的空间。选择和代理的概念框架是与住房临时性政策接触的关键。国家通常不承认自制住房的临时性,而是推动住房临时性。住房话语中缺乏选择和代理,为不稳定创造了条件。
