It seemed unfortunately fitting that, just before I began to write this review of Rosemary-Claire Collard’s important book, Animal Traffic, I read a story about five monkeys spotted in a Cincinnati, Ohio, neighborhood. Police believed they were not from the zoo, but privately owned. Witnesses reported that the monkeys were tall, with very long, skinny arms, and I immediately thought of the spider monkeys Collard describes. This news story illustrates one of most basic, yet significant, things communicated in this book—that exotic pets are not just in the domain of sensationalist documentaries like Netflix’s wildly popular (and disturbing) Tiger King, or found snarling and slithering somewhere on the estates of drug kingpins. There are untold multitudes of these animals existing in more mundane settings throughout the United States and globally, and we only occasionally get a glimpse of this world when there are “escapees.” In Animal Traffic, Collard informs us of the only partially accounted for magnitude of the global exotic pet trade, but of course she does much more. Her project is to theorize these animals as what she calls “lively capital,” to demonstrate the global pet trade’s effects on these sentient beings’ lives and communities, and to project her analysis onto the effects of capitalism on noncaptive wild animals and the natural world more broadly. Collard draws on Marxist, feminist, and postcolonial theory/theorists in crafting her analysis, deftly applying elements originally focused on inanimate objects to the living subjects of her work. Throughout, Collard also provides details of her experiences in the field in Mexico and Central America at biosphere reserves and a rehabilitation facility for former exotic pets, and in various North American locations at exotic pet auctions and sanctuaries. In these sections she shows herself to be not only a thoughtful scholar, but also an exceptionally engaging writer, employing beautifully descriptive prose to recount details from her fieldwork. Not absent from this book are Collard’s recognition of her positionality as a Global North academic, and her emotional responses to the situations she witnesses. The book is set out in five chapters. In the introduction, Collard discusses her goals and arguments, and gives an overview of the global exotic pet trade. As a foundation for her analysis, she establishes a set of traits—”individual, controllable, and encounterable” (p. 29)—with which a wild animal must be imbued to ultimately transform into a living, yet thing-like, commodity (“lively capital”). These traits are what provide “use value” for humans, and Collard explains that for the commodity transformation to happen, exotic animals “are subject to
就在我开始为罗斯玛丽-克莱尔·科拉德(Rosemary-Claire Collard)的重要著作《动物交易》(Animal Traffic)写书评之前,我读到了一个故事,讲的是在俄亥俄州辛辛那提的一个社区里发现了五只猴子,这似乎是很不幸的。警方认为它们不是动物园的,而是私人所有的。目击者报告说,这些猴子很高,手臂又长又细,我立刻想到了科拉德描述的蜘蛛猴。这个新闻故事说明了本书所传达的一个最基本但也最重要的东西——异国情调的宠物不只是出现在像Netflix广受欢迎(也令人不安)的《老虎王》这样耸人听闻的纪录片里,也不只是在毒枭的庄园里咆哮和爬行。在美国和全球范围内,有无数的这些动物生活在更平凡的环境中,当有“逃犯”时,我们才偶尔瞥见这个世界。在《动物贸易》一书中,科拉德告诉我们,全球珍奇宠物贸易的规模仅占部分,但她当然做了更多。她的项目是将这些动物理论化,她称之为“活跃的资本”,以证明全球宠物贸易对这些有知觉的生物的生活和社区的影响,并将她的分析更广泛地应用于资本主义对非圈养野生动物和自然世界的影响。在她的分析中,科拉德借鉴了马克思主义、女权主义和后殖民理论/理论家的观点,巧妙地将原本专注于无生命物体的元素应用到她作品中的生命主题上。在书中,科拉德还详细介绍了她在墨西哥和中美洲的生物圈保护区和前外来宠物康复设施的实地经历,以及在北美不同地区的外来宠物拍卖和保护区的经历。在这些章节中,她展示了自己不仅是一位有思想的学者,也是一位非常吸引人的作家,她用优美的描述性散文讲述了她田野调查的细节。这本书中不乏科拉德对自己作为全球北方学者的地位的认识,以及她对所目睹的情况的情感反应。这本书共分五章。在引言中,Collard讨论了她的目标和论点,并对全球外来宠物贸易进行了概述。作为她分析的基础,她建立了一系列特征——“个体的、可控制的、可遇到的”(第29页)——野生动物必须被灌输这些特征,才能最终转化为一种有生命的、类似于物的商品(“活泼的资本”)。这些特征为人类提供了“使用价值”,科拉德解释说,为了实现商品转化,外来动物“必须服从”

States of exception as paradigms of government: emergency and criminal justice in Jamaica? 作为政府范例的例外国:牙买加的紧急状态和刑事司法?

ABSTRACT Emergencies/exceptions are presumed to be disruptive events which are inherently dangerous to the normal workings of a nation-state. Declarations of emergency by governments of all types around the world to deal with a variety of crises have prompted Italian political philosopher Giorgio Agamben to characterize them as “the dominant paradigm of government” (2005. State of Exception. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press). This paper explores the Jamaican government’s penchant for using emergency powers to curb high homicide rates. During 2017–2020, Jamaica has declared and operated several States of Emergencies (SOEs) and Zones of Special Operations (ZOSOs) to address what are usually considered ordinary criminal justice matters. In this paper, I argue that the resulting anomalies, such as arbitrary plus extended detentions and internal extraordinary renditions, have placed Jamaica in a quasi-permanent “state of exception” in which the constitutional rights of some citizens have been compromised in the name of state security. This paper contributes to the growing literature on how blurry the lines between norm and emergency/exception have become across different global jurisdictions.
紧急事件/例外被认为是破坏性事件,对民族国家的正常运作具有固有的危险。世界各地各种类型的政府为应对各种危机而宣布紧急状态,这促使意大利政治哲学家乔治·阿甘本将其描述为“政府的主导范式”(2005年)。异常状态。芝加哥:芝加哥大学出版社)。本文探讨了牙买加政府倾向于使用紧急权力来遏制高杀人率。2017-2020年期间,牙买加宣布并实施了若干紧急状态和特别行动区,以解决通常被视为普通刑事司法问题。在本文中,我认为由此产生的反常现象,如任意延长拘留和内部特别引渡,使牙买加处于一种准永久的“例外状态”,在这种状态下,一些公民的宪法权利以国家安全的名义受到损害。越来越多的文献表明,规范与紧急/例外之间的界限在不同的全球司法管辖区变得多么模糊,本文对这一问题作出了贡献。

Competition, limited resources and human rights in radio spectrum allocation in Chile 智利无线电频谱分配中的竞争、有限资源和人权

ABSTRACT This article discusses the current radio spectrum allocation in Chile. Findings are analyzed from a theoretical perspective including competition, human rights and limited resource management. Findings indicate a very high concentration of concessions in private actors based on a generalist business model that even applies to public institutions, which coexists with a specific community model in the case of radio and television, with lower rates of participation and policies that give little incentive, to the point that we could consider it a discriminatory treatment. The resulting system, although compatible with the legal frame, does not comply with international human rights standards or the principles of free trade. This systematization and analysis constitute relevant inputs for the ongoing constitutional debate.
本文讨论了智利目前的无线电频谱分配。研究结果从理论角度进行分析,包括竞争、人权和有限资源管理。调查结果表明,基于通才商业模式的私人行为者的特许权高度集中,这种模式甚至适用于公共机构,在广播和电视的情况下,这种模式与特定的社区模式共存,参与率较低,政策几乎没有激励,以至于我们可以认为这是一种歧视性待遇。由此产生的制度虽然符合法律框架,但不符合国际人权标准或自由贸易原则。这种系统化和分析构成了正在进行的宪法辩论的相关投入。

L’Amérique du Nord: une histoire des identités et des solidarités 《北美:身份与团结的历史》

failed protests also challenges the neoliberal logic. Finally, in the conclusion, the author looks at how land rescue or occupation can unfold in Puerto Rico. As such, she draws on Frantz Fanon and many other local authors to discuss decoloniality. After a brief summary of the previous chapters, Zambrana concludes with a reflection on how pessimism can be the site of hope. Although Zambrana warns us that the book is looking at a specific case and situation, I would like to disagree with her: this book’s reach goes beyond Puerto Rico. Colonial Debts is an in-depth philosophical reflection on how debt has been theorized by other scholars while engaging thoughtfully in conceptual work that offers important insights into how debt can be resisted and transformed. Reader-activists would want to read this book, especially anti-debt activists. Scholars of and on Puerto Rico would also be interested in having a different look at the colonial relation at play here through historical debt. This book might be about Puerto Rico, but the anti-debt movement, especially in relation to colonial dynamics, has reached far beyond it.
失败的抗议也挑战了新自由主义的逻辑。最后,在结论中,作者着眼于波多黎各的土地救援或占领如何展开。因此,她借鉴了弗朗茨·法农(franz Fanon)和许多其他当地作家来讨论非殖民化问题。在对前几章作了简短的总结之后,桑布拉纳在总结时反思了悲观主义如何成为希望之所在。虽然赞布拉纳警告我们,这本书是在看一个特定的案例和情况,但我不同意她的观点:这本书的影响范围超出了波多黎各。《殖民债务》是对其他学者如何将债务理论化的深入哲学反思,同时对概念工作进行了深思熟虑,为如何抵制和转变债务提供了重要见解。读者积极分子会想读这本书,尤其是反债务积极分子。研究波多黎各的学者也有兴趣通过历史债务对这里的殖民关系有不同的看法。这本书可能是关于波多黎各的,但反债务运动,尤其是与殖民动态有关的运动,已经远远超出了它的范围。

RESUMEN El objetivo de esta investigación es profundizar el tratamiento teórico que se da entre Estado y demandas sociales. En particular, utilizando el caso ecuatoriano como estudio de caso, la inferencia descriptiva y el análisis teórico como metodologías, se argumenta que el mecenazgo estructural es una de las maneras de entender movilizaciones sociales. Su originalidad yace en destacar y orientar nuestro entendimiento del porque en ciertas sociedades latinoamericanas la “cultura” del mecenazgo prevalece ante otras fuerzas, típicamente asociadas a las “condiciones objetivas” de la vida de la gente pobre, particularmente en este caso, los pueblos indígenas ecuatorianos. La conclusión a la que he llegado es que el mecenazgo estructural es útil para entender el por qué y la fuerza de ciertas movilizaciones sociales.
总结这个调查的目的在于深化国家所治疗理论和社会需求。本文以厄瓜多尔为例,以描述性推理和理论分析为方法论,认为结构性赞助是理解社会动员的一种方式。它的独创性在于强调和引导我们理解为什么在某些拉丁美洲社会,赞助的“文化”压倒了其他力量,这些力量通常与穷人生活的“客观条件”有关,在这种情况下,厄瓜多尔土著人民。我的结论是,结构性赞助有助于理解某些社会动员的原因和力量。

forest or sea, to transport in clandestine containers, to clearinghouses and into our living rooms. That people do violently extractive things to turn a profit is surely disturbing to no one at this point. What is provocative and gut wrenching about this book is that it compels us to turn the lens on ourselves. As animal “lovers” who have chirped “hello!” at a parrot in a pet store, taken photos with captive monkeys on vacation, carried home a turtle in a box, kept hermit grabs (guilty as charged!) or enjoyed the “beauty” of a salt water fish tank, we are forced to face our own roles in the tangled webs of the exotic animal trade. Collard shocks and horrifies us, as she should, with disturbing statistics and descriptions of awful conditions that animals endure, the many animals who die in transit, and the reality that many survivors also die within a year of reaching their new “homes”. She makes it clear that as responsible humans (and scholars?) we must look behind the curtain and learn about animals’ forgotten histories, double fetishization, related death and destruction and compelling wild alternatives. In the end, Collard brings the book home in both senses, detailing an emotional response she had when learning of an escaped (banned) serval on Vancouver Island. The story ended poorly but the bigger picture is that the serval had made it to its final exotic pet destination and had also tasted brief freedom before being killed by a truck, representing a longer and likely better life than many animals who have moved along the belts of the exotic pet trade. If you like reading or teaching about commodity tracking/tracing that leads all the way back to main sources of demand (the US and UK in this case), political ecologies of conservation, learning about unique pockets of consumption-related human existence or being informed about our (generally pretty awful) relationships with non-human species, this book is for you. If you are interested in animal welfare and imagining kinder relations with more-than-humans, this book will inspire. Collard packs a lot of insights into the less-than -200 pages, representing sharp research and storytelling skills. But, before you travel to the depths of the exotic animal trade with Collard and her keen analyses, know that it will forever change how you gaze upon a saltwater fish tank or pet store parrot display, if you have not yet peeked behind the exotic pet trade curtain.
森林或海洋,用秘密集装箱运输,运到票据交换所,进入我们的客厅。在这一点上,人们通过暴力榨取来获利肯定不会让任何人感到不安。这本书的挑衅和痛苦之处在于,它迫使我们把镜头对准自己。作为动物的“恋人”,他们会唧唧喳喳地说:“你好!,在宠物店里看着一只鹦鹉,在度假时与圈养的猴子合影,把一只乌龟装在盒子里抱回家,养着一只隐士(有罪!),或者享受咸水鱼缸的“美景”,我们被迫面对自己在异国动物贸易的错综复杂的网络中的角色。科拉德用令人不安的统计数据和描述动物所忍受的恶劣环境,许多动物在运输过程中死亡,以及许多幸存者在到达新“家”后一年内死亡的现实,让我们震惊和恐惧,这也是她应该做的。她明确表示,作为负责任的人类(和学者?),我们必须看到幕后,了解动物被遗忘的历史,双重恋物,相关的死亡和破坏,以及令人信服的野生选择。最后,科拉德在两种意义上都把这本书带回家,详细描述了她在温哥华岛上得知一只逃犯(被禁止)时的情感反应。故事的结局很糟糕,但更重要的是,这几只动物最终到达了它们的异国宠物目的地,在被卡车撞死之前,它们也尝到了短暂的自由,与许多在异国宠物贸易中迁徙的动物相比,它们的生命更长,也可能更好。如果你喜欢阅读或教授关于商品追踪/追踪的书籍,这些书籍可以一直追溯到需求的主要来源(在这里是美国和英国),保护的政治生态学,了解与消费相关的人类生存的独特领域,或者了解我们与非人类物种(通常相当糟糕)的关系,那么这本书就是为你准备的。如果你对动物福利感兴趣,想象与人类以外的动物建立更友好的关系,这本书会给你灵感。在这本不到200页的书中,科拉德包含了很多深刻的见解,展现了他敏锐的研究和讲故事的技巧。但是,在你与科拉德和她敏锐的分析一起深入异国动物贸易之前,要知道,如果你还没有窥视过异国宠物贸易的幕后,它将永远改变你对咸水鱼缸或宠物店鹦鹉展示的看法。

She makes it clear that as responsible humans (and scholars?) we must look behind the curtain and learn about animals’ forgotten histories, double fetishization, related death and destruction and compelling wild alternatives. In the end, Collard brings the book home in both senses, detailing an emotional response she had when learning of an escaped (banned) serval on Vancouver Island. The story ended poorly but the bigger picture is that the serval had made it to its final exotic pet destination and had also tasted brief freedom before being killed by a truck, representing a longer and likely better life than many animals who have moved along the belts of the exotic pet trade. If you like reading or teaching about commodity tracking/tracing that leads all the way back to main sources of demand (the US and UK in this case), political ecologies of conservation, learning about unique pockets of consumption-related human existence or being informed about our (generally pretty awful) relationships with non-human species, this book is for you. If you are interested in animal welfare and imagining kinder relations with more-than-humans, this book will inspire. Collard packs a lot of insights into the less-than -200 pages, representing sharp research and storytelling skills. But, before you travel to the depths of the exotic animal trade with Collard and her keen analyses, know that it will forever change how you gaze upon a saltwater fish tank or pet store parrot display, if you have not yet peeked behind the exotic pet trade curtain.","PeriodicalId":42747,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal American and Caribbean Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47028565","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}
