In the Mozambican suburb of Inhapossa, piles of fresh concrete blocks vividly convey a sense of the momentous transformation under way in a place where building is now described as being ‘in fashion’. Exuding promises of a better future, this fresh concrete is emerging amidst the ruins of a not so distant violent past, in a country where the built environment has been scarred by decades of war, economic decline, neglect and vegetalization. If ruins are reminders of what once was or of what could have been, what do they become in a context of growing prosperity? The contrast between fresh and rotting concrete seemed to beg for anthropological attention, to call for an approach that would simultaneously capture the poetics and politics of concrete throughout its life and even longer afterlife. What my ethnography revealed, however, was that unlike the fresh concrete, which inspired songs and made people fall in love, the decaying concrete scattered across the suburb often inspired little more than indifference. By examining how Mozambicans remember the past and project themselves into the future through their engagement with the built environment, I propose to approach indifference neither as refusal to engage, nor simply as silence, and certainly not as political illiteracy, but rather as an affective experience in its own right that speaks of a particular orientation towards the future.
在莫桑比克的因哈波萨郊区,一堆堆新鲜的混凝土砖块生动地传达了一个正在进行的重大转变的感觉,在这个地方,建筑现在被描述为“时尚”。在这个国家,建筑环境因几十年的战争、经济衰退、被忽视和植被化而伤痕累累,在不太遥远的暴力过去的废墟中,这种新鲜的混凝土流露出对更美好未来的承诺。如果废墟能提醒我们曾经是什么或可能是什么,那么在日益繁荣的背景下,它们又会变成什么呢?新鲜混凝土和腐烂混凝土之间的对比似乎需要人类学的关注,需要一种方法来同时捕捉混凝土在其整个生命周期甚至更长时间后的诗意和政治。然而,我的人种志揭示的是,与新鲜的混凝土不同,这些混凝土激发了歌曲的灵感,让人们坠入爱河,而散落在郊区的腐朽混凝土往往只会让人感到冷漠。通过研究莫桑比克人如何通过与建筑环境的接触来记住过去并规划自己的未来,我建议将冷漠视为拒绝参与,也不是简单的沉默,当然也不是政治文盲,而是一种情感体验,它本身就是一种面向未来的特定方向。

The grid of indefinite incarceration: Everyday legality and paperwork warfare in Indian-controlled Kashmir 无限期监禁的网格:印控克什米尔的日常合法性和文书战

This article analyzes the everyday legality of the preventive detention regime in Kashmir as a means of waging war against political dissidents. We follow the circulation of detainees and their files across multiple legal venues and regimes to show how the counterinsurgency state reinscribes spectacular and terrifying forms of violence through modalities of banal paperwork and iterative performances of the rule of law. Drawing on ethnographic and textual interpretation of legal documents, including police dossiers, detention orders, and police complaints, we argue that the permanent emergency in Kashmir operates through an everyday hyperlegality of indefinite incarceration that intermingles the systems, techniques, and jurisdictions of colonial policing, bureaucratic paperwork, and military warfare. Further, we demonstrate how this grid of indefinite detention manifests through a temporality of deferral and delay that comes to characterize everyday life for its subjects.
本文分析了克什米尔预防性拘留制度作为对持不同政见者发动战争的一种手段的日常合法性。我们跟踪了被拘留者及其档案在多个法律场所和制度中的流转,以展示反叛乱国家如何通过平庸的文书工作和反复的法治表现形式重新定义壮观和可怕的暴力形式。根据对法律文件(包括警察档案、拘留令和警察投诉)的人种学和文本解释,我们认为,克什米尔的永久紧急状态是通过日常的超法性无限期监禁来运作的,这种监禁混合了殖民警察、官僚文书和军事战争的系统、技术和管辖权。此外,我们还展示了这种无限期拘留的网格是如何通过延迟和延迟的暂时性来体现的,而延迟和延迟是其主体日常生活的特征。

In this article, we analyze contemporary discourses of counterinsurgency in relation to dogs in Kashmir, the disputed northernmost Himalayan territory of Jammu and Kashmir, and the site of a prolonged military occupation. We are interested in the widespread presence of street dogs in Kashmir as both embodiments and instruments of military terror. We consider the competing narratives of how canines function variously in Kashmiri perceptions of counterinsurgency and in Indian nationalist discourses. Through ethnographic and cultural analyses, we track how street dogs appear in various cultural and public narratives as the Indian military’s “first line of defense,” and the ways in which their overwhelming presence produces deep anxieties about the nature and extent of the military occupation of Kashmir.
在这篇文章中,我们分析了当代反叛乱话语与克什米尔的狗有关,查谟和克什米尔的喜马拉雅最北端有争议的领土,以及长期军事占领的地点。我们感兴趣的是,作为军事恐怖的体现和工具,街头狗在克什米尔广泛存在。我们考虑犬科动物如何在克什米尔的反叛乱观念和印度民族主义话语中发挥不同的作用。通过民族志和文化分析,我们追踪了街头狗是如何在各种文化和公共叙事中作为印度军方的“第一道防线”出现的,以及它们的压倒性存在是如何让人们对军事占领克什米尔的性质和程度产生深深的焦虑的。

The politics of karameh: Palestinian burial rites under the gun 卡拉梅的政治:枪口下的巴勒斯坦葬礼

For decades, Israel has held the remains of hundreds of Palestinian martyrs in secret burial sites in closed military zones called the cemeteries of numbers. Simultaneously, the Israeli police have desecrated several ancient burial sites in Jerusalem and built above them parks and other public spaces. This article examines these under-explored phenomena within the lens of Zionist colonialism to consider the ways cemeteries and spaces of death are used by the Israeli state as a mechanism of necroviolence. Through ethnographic interviews with martyrs’ families and a review of key legal documents regarding the burial of Palestinians, this article makes the case that the control and intentional negligence of dead bodies – fueled by racist ideology – are key facets of Israeli territorial acquisition.
几十年来,以色列一直将数百名巴勒斯坦烈士的遗体存放在被称为数字墓地的封闭军事区的秘密墓地。与此同时,以色列警方亵渎了耶路撒冷的几个古老墓地,并在上面建造了公园和其他公共场所。本文从犹太复国主义殖民主义的视角审视了这些未被充分探索的现象,以考虑以色列国家如何将墓地和死亡空间作为一种死亡暴力机制。通过对烈士家属的民族志采访和对有关埋葬巴勒斯坦人的关键法律文件的审查,本文证明,种族主义意识形态助长的对尸体的控制和故意疏忽是以色列获取领土的关键方面。

Transcending enclosures by bus: Public transit protests, frame mobility, and the many facets of colonial occupation 乘坐公共汽车超越围墙:公共交通抗议,框架流动性,以及殖民占领的许多方面

In this article, I investigate three public transit-centered Palestinian political actions in the West Bank and argue that the activists’ framing choices facilitate particular forms of global solidarity. The bus-centered political actions I examine are the Palestinian Freedom Rides of 2011, the Freedom Bus of 2014, and the bus sabotage of 2013. I demonstrate that the activists and participants in each of these cases dexterously move among a collection of terminological frames, invoking racial segregation, racism, and apartheid alongside occupation and colonialism. This rhetorical movement parallels the physical movement that the bus enables and represents. In turn, both forms of movement carry Palestinian political messages beyond the Israeli enclosures in order to connect with diverse solidarity audiences and educate them about Palestinian experiences of im/mobilization.
在这篇文章中,我调查了巴勒斯坦在约旦河西岸以公共交通为中心的三次政治行动,并认为活动人士的框架选择促进了特定形式的全球团结。我调查的以巴士为中心的政治行动是2011年的巴勒斯坦自由之旅、2014年的自由巴士和2013年的巴士破坏事件。我证明,在每一个案例中,活动家和参与者都巧妙地在一系列术语框架中移动,援引种族隔离、种族主义和种族隔离以及占领和殖民主义。这一修辞运动与公交车所引发和代表的物理运动相似。反过来,这两种形式的运动都将巴勒斯坦的政治信息带到了以色列围栏之外,以便与不同的团结受众建立联系,并教育他们巴勒斯坦的动员经验。

Sexual violence during research: How the unpredictability of fieldwork and the right to risk collide with academic bureaucracy and expectations 研究中的性暴力:田野调查的不可预测性和冒险权如何与学术官僚主义和期望发生冲突

L. Schneider
In a contradictory fashion, researchers, their departments and universities simultaneously recognize the unpredictability of fieldwork experiences and outcomes and help establish a bureaucratic system of planning every component of their research. Ethnographic unpredictability and its consequences are a fact of fieldwork and it is essential that researchers and institutions are prepared to view these as part of interpretable data, to learn from them and not mask them. This article examines ethnographic unpredictability through the lens of sexual violence which I experienced during my doctoral fieldwork in Sierra Leone. I show how I redirected my research and renegotiated my position as an academic. I discuss the culture of risk and analyse the influence of neoliberalism on the university. I describe how ‘market logic’ conceptualizes unpredictability as competitive disadvantage. I show the impact that the imaginary ‘perfect academic’ has on early career researchers and the complicity of mainstream academic (re-)presentation in nourishing the image of the ‘in-control academic’ through muting personal field experiences and vulnerabilities and silencing unpredictable occurrences in academic writing. I conclude with recommendations on how personal situatedness, vulnerabilities, and transformations can be approached as factors in every research endeavour which must not pose threats to an institution’s competitive advantage.
以一种矛盾的方式,研究人员、他们的院系和大学同时认识到实地工作经验和结果的不可预测性,并帮助建立一个官僚体系来规划他们研究的每一个组成部分。人种学的不可预测性及其后果是实地调查的事实,研究人员和机构必须准备好将这些视为可解释数据的一部分,从中学习而不是掩盖它们。这篇文章通过我在塞拉利昂进行博士实地考察期间所经历的性暴力的镜头来考察人种学的不可预测性。我展示了我如何改变我的研究方向,并重新协商我作为一名学者的地位。我讨论了风险文化,分析了新自由主义对大学的影响。我描述了“市场逻辑”如何将不可预测性概念化为竞争劣势。我展示了想象中的“完美学术”对早期职业研究人员的影响,以及主流学术(再)呈现的共谋,通过压制个人领域经验和脆弱性,以及压制学术写作中不可预测的事件,来滋养“受控学术”的形象。最后,我提出了一些建议,说明如何将个人处境、脆弱性和转变作为每项研究工作中的因素来处理,而这些因素必须不会对机构的竞争优势构成威胁。

Communities of care: Public donations, development assistance, and independent philanthropy in the Wa State of Myanmar 关爱社区:缅甸佤邦的公共捐赠、发展援助和独立慈善事业

If there are any charitable, philanthropic, or welfare-state activities in the de facto states of insurgent armies, they are generally interpreted in terms of utilitarian motives and the self-legitimation of military elites and their business associates. However, development and philanthropy in the Wa State of Myanmar have more extensive purposes. We argue that a framing of care rather than of governance allows for ethnographic attention to emerging social relations and subject positions – ‘our people’, ‘the vulnerable’, and ‘the poor’. In this article we describe ‘communities of care’ by analysing public donations, development assistance and independent philanthropy in the Wa State as categories of care that each follow a different moral logic, respond to different needs, and connect different actors and recipients. Zooming in on the ways in which communities of care reproduce moral subjectivities and political authority allows a re-imagining of everyday politics in the de facto states of armed groups, no longer wedded to notions of control, legitimacy, and ‘rebel governance’.
如果在叛乱军队的事实状态下有任何慈善、慈善或福利国家活动,通常会根据功利主义动机和军事精英及其商业伙伴的自我合法化来解释。然而,缅甸佤邦的发展和慈善事业有着更广泛的目的。我们认为,关爱而非治理的框架允许民族志关注新兴的社会关系和主题立场——“我们的人民”、“弱势群体”和“穷人”。在这篇文章中,我们通过分析佤邦的公共捐赠、发展援助和独立慈善事业来描述“护理社区”,这些护理类别都遵循不同的道德逻辑,满足不同的需求,并将不同的参与者和接受者联系起来。关注关爱社区再现道德主体性和政治权威的方式,可以重新想象武装团体事实状态下的日常政治,不再拘泥于控制、合法性和“反叛治理”的概念。

‘People are willing to fight to the end’. Romanticising the ‘moral’ in moral economies of irrigation “人们愿意战斗到底”。灌溉道德经济中的“道德”浪漫化

This article is about the continued salience of a particular understanding of moral economy in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite the fact that a significant body of anthropological theory argues against simplified binaries of market and moral economies, such binaries persist. These either romanticise or vilify moral economies and exist in both policy and academic contexts. Thus, moral economies are said to drive corruption or shape anti-market cultural stances. Meanwhile, a romantic fantasy of a non-capitalist rural economy oriented by morality rather than economic rationality continues to animate areas of development policy and to direct funding. My argument is not with the concept of moral economy itself, but with how it is marshalled in support of both romantic and sometimes negatively essentialised conceptions of people and places. The article sets out the case for the persistence of these ideas, focusing on their application to irrigation development and the problems with this. I then use an example from southern Malawi to illustrate how moral ideas of fairness and reciprocity interplay with processes of differentiation in access to (and exclusion from) land and labour and influence how people manage scarce resources. Whilst there are moral discourses and a mutual embeddedness of the moral and economic, these reflect a range of ethically informed positions which are influenced by social position and power. However, this emic perspective is largely absent from the more romanticised models. I conclude by reflecting on the politics of their persistence.
这篇文章是关于撒哈拉以南非洲地区对道德经济的特殊理解的持续突出。尽管有大量人类学理论反对将市场经济和道德经济简化为二元,但这种二元经济仍然存在。这些观点要么美化道德经济,要么诋毁道德经济,在政策和学术背景中都存在。因此,道德经济被认为会导致腐败或形成反市场的文化立场。与此同时,一种以道德而非经济理性为导向的非资本主义农村经济的浪漫幻想,继续激励着发展政策领域和指导资金。我的论点不是道德经济本身的概念,而是它是如何被组织起来支持浪漫的、有时是消极的、本质化的人和地方概念的。本文阐述了这些理念的存在理由,重点阐述了它们在灌溉发展中的应用及其存在的问题。然后,我用马拉维南部的一个例子来说明公平和互惠的道德观念如何与获得(或被排斥)土地和劳动力的差异过程相互作用,并影响人们如何管理稀缺资源。虽然存在道德话语和道德与经济的相互嵌入,但这些反映了一系列受社会地位和权力影响的道德知情立场。然而,这种主体性视角在更浪漫的模型中基本上是缺失的。最后,我反思了他们坚持不懈的政治原因。
