ABSTRACT Responding to the Covid-19 pandemic, in ‘The Biopolitics of Pandemics,’ Ed Cohen discusses the contradictions in medical, juridical, and popular thought that conceive of both disease and immunity as things that happen to individual bodies, belying our profound interconnectedness and interdependence.
摘要针对新冠肺炎大流行,Ed Cohen在《流行病的生物政治学》一书中讨论了医学、司法和流行思想中的矛盾,这些思想认为疾病和免疫力都是发生在个体身上的事情,与我们之间深刻的相互联系和相互依存性背道而驰。

ABSTRACT The conversations collected in this Special Section speak to the events and upheavals of 2020 and the political climate that led up to these events, particularly focusing on the shifting emphasis on emotion in politics that emerged in so-called ‘post-truth’ discourse. The Covid-19 pandemic was initially hailed as a unifying experience, but this conception quickly shattered as the unequal effects of the pandemic were made visible. At the same time, the highly publicized police murder of George Floyd and other black Americans incited mass uprisings. The conversations collected here open up a series of critical forays of thought concerning the long year of 2020 and the inequalities and crises it made undeniably visible.
本专题收集的对话讲述了2020年的事件和动荡,以及导致这些事件的政治气候,特别关注所谓的“后真相”话语中出现的对政治情感的重视转变。Covid-19大流行最初被誉为一次统一的经历,但随着大流行的不平等影响显现出来,这种观念很快就破灭了。与此同时,警察谋杀乔治·弗洛伊德和其他美国黑人的事件被高度曝光,引发了大规模的起义。这里收集的对话开启了一系列关于漫长的2020年以及不可否认的不平等和危机的批判性思考。

ABSTRACT With the publication of Carbon Democracy, Timothy Mitchell made a major contribution to the political study of energy resources that helped launch an exciting era of energy studies. Energy humanities scholars Imre Szeman and Caleb Wellum interviewed Mitchell in 2021 about the genesis, arguments, and legacies of Carbon Democracy. This wide-ranging conversation explores how the political context of the early 2000s informed the book, how the book has shaped the study of oil and energy, and the new directions Mitchell’s research has taken since the book’s publication. The conversation also includes discussion of Mitchell’s methodological approach to technopolitical subjects and where the study of energy needs to go from here.

Moments of shame in the figural history of trans suicide 跨性别自杀史上的耻辱时刻

ABSTRACT This is an article about trans suicide – a longstanding consequence of a necropolitical order that perpetuates the disposability of trans life as a strategy of social subjugation and institutional maintenance. Although having become a more widely publicized crisis in recent years, trans suicide is not a new problem. Evidence of trans suicide dates to the early twentieth century, verifying its status as a malady that victimizes both youth and adults, stretches beyond American borders, and populates a range of discourses since well before the popularization of more contemporary identity categories, such as ‘transsexual’ or ‘transgender.’ In this article, I trace the historical circulation of trans suicide, with a primary focus on its movement across U.S. public culture. I show how trans people have long shaped meanings of trans suicide using a variety of communication channels. I argue that recurrent public renderings of trans suicide accrue force as potent articulations of trans shame, which arise directly from embodied experiences of gender dysphoria and other often hidden intersecting systems of oppression that make trans lives less livable. Thus, the figural history of trans suicide is a multi-generational structure of feeling constituted by an ongoing series of moments of shame that have shifted in tandem with evolutions in media culture and changing norms of trans visibility. These moments of shame open possibilities for challenging transnormative logics of representation and dismantling the necropolitical foundations of anti-trans death worlds.
摘要这是一篇关于跨性别自杀的文章,这是一种长期的死亡政治秩序的后果,这种秩序将跨性别生活的可支配性作为社会征服和制度维护的策略。尽管近年来跨性别自杀已成为一场更为广泛宣传的危机,但这并不是一个新问题。跨性别自杀的证据可以追溯到20世纪初,证实了其作为一种伤害青年和成年人的疾病的地位,这种疾病延伸到美国境外,早在“变性人”或“跨性别者”等更现代的身份类别普及之前,就已经在一系列话语中流行起来在这篇文章中,我追溯了跨性别自杀的历史流传,主要关注其在美国公共文化中的运动。我通过各种沟通渠道展示了跨性别者对跨性别自杀的长期含义。我认为,反复出现的对跨性别自杀的公开渲染,作为跨性别羞耻感的有力表达,会产生力量,而这种羞耻感直接源于性别焦虑症和其他往往隐藏的交叉压迫系统的具体体验,这些系统使跨性别生活变得不那么宜居。因此,跨性别自杀的形象历史是一个由一系列持续的羞耻时刻构成的多代情感结构,这些羞耻时刻随着媒体文化的演变和跨性别可见性规范的变化而变化。这些羞耻的时刻为挑战代表性的超规范逻辑和拆除反跨性别死亡世界的死政治基础打开了可能性。

ABSTRACT The Black Hip Hop tradition, specifically rap, has appropriated and rechanneled music technologies and inscribed new meanings for cultural, economic, social, and political gains, videography included. Through an ethnographic study of Hip Hop in rural northeast North Carolina, USA, this project incorporates the voices of local Hip Hop videographers and rap artists to suggest that Hip Hop videography is a form of performative Blackness that exemplifies how the visual is a site of vernacular possibility. It shows how Black artists in rural northeast North Carolina work within the specific structure of the trap subgenre, which originated in urban centres, only to rupture it with visuals of rural Blackness. By demanding audiences to ‘listen’ to images, Hip Hop artists in the area known as ‘the 252’ use local history and the visual subjectivity of the surrounding region to alter the sonic experience of songs to set forth a local identity. This research positions Hip Hop videography as a relational space where identities are inhabited, imagined, and transformed.
摘要黑人嘻哈传统,特别是说唱,已经挪用和重新创造了音乐技术,并为文化、经济、社会和政治利益(包括录像)赋予了新的含义。通过对美国北卡罗来纳州东北部农村嘻哈音乐的民族志研究,该项目结合了当地嘻哈视频摄影师和说唱艺术家的声音,表明嘻哈视频是一种表演性黑人的形式,体现了视觉是一个地方可能性的场所。它展示了北卡罗来纳州东北部农村的黑人艺术家如何在起源于城市中心的陷阱亚类的特定结构中工作,却用农村黑人的视觉效果打破了它。通过要求观众“倾听”图像,被称为“252”地区的嘻哈艺术家利用当地历史和周围地区的视觉主观性来改变歌曲的声音体验,以展现当地身份。这项研究将嘻哈录像定位为一个关系空间,在这里,身份被居住、想象和转换。

Multispecies mourning: grieving as resistance on the West Papuan plantation frontier 多物种哀悼:西巴布亚种植园边界的反抗

ABSTRACT This article explores the cultural, political, and affective significance of mourning among the Indigenous Marind communities of rural Merauke West Papua, whose intimate and ancestral relations to native plants, animals, and ecosystems are increasingly threatened by mass deforestation and monocrop oil palm expansion. Cross-pollinating Indigenous more-than-human philosophies with environmental humanities scholarship, I examine three emergent practices of ‘multispecies mourning’ on the Papuan oil palm frontier – the weaving of sago bags as a form of collective healing, the creation of songs prompted by encounters with roadkill, and the transplanting of bamboo shoots as part of customary land reclaiming activities. Multispecies mourning offers potent avenues for Marind to memorialize the radical loss of lives and relations prompted by capitalist landscape transformations. At the same time, multispecies mournings constitute forms of active resistance and creative refusal in the face of extractive capitalism’s ecocidal logic. Bringing together plants, people, and places, their dispersed sentience and materiality offer hopeful pathways for multispecies solidarities, in and against the rubble of agro-industrialism and its necropolitical undergirdings.
摘要本文探讨了西巴布亚梅劳克农村土著水手社区哀悼的文化、政治和情感意义,他们与当地植物、动物和生态系统的亲密和祖先关系日益受到大规模砍伐和单作油棕榈扩张的威胁。我将土著哲学与环境人文学科交叉传播,研究了巴布亚油棕榈边境“多物种哀悼”的三种新兴实践——编织西米袋作为集体治疗的一种形式,创作因遭遇路杀而引发的歌曲,以及移植竹笋,作为传统开垦活动的一部分。多种族的哀悼为马林纪念资本主义景观转型所导致的生命和关系的根本损失提供了有力的途径。与此同时,面对采掘资本主义的生态灭绝逻辑,多物种的哀悼构成了积极抵抗和创造性拒绝的形式。将植物、人和地方聚集在一起,它们分散的感知力和物质性为多物种团结提供了充满希望的途径,无论是在农业工业化的废墟中还是在其腐朽的政治基础上。

The collateralized personality: creditability and resistance in the age of automated credit-scoring and lending 被担保的人格:自动信用评分和贷款时代的可信度和阻力

ABSTRACT This paper explores the force of automation and its contradictions and resistances within (and beyond) the financial sector, with a specific focus on computational practices of credit-scoring and lending. It examines the operations and promotional discourses of fintech start-ups LendUp.com and Elevate.com that offer small loans to the sub-prime consumers in exchange for access to their online social media and mobile data, and Zest AI and LenddoEFL that sell automated decision-making tools to verify identity and assess risk. Reviewing their disciplinary reputational demands and impacts on users and communities, especially women and people of colour, the paper argues that the automated reimagination of credit and creditability disavows the formative design of its AI and redefines moral imperatives about character to align with the interests of digital capitalism. The economic, social and cultural crises precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic have only underscored the internal contradictions of these developments, and a variety of debt resistance initiatives have emerged, aligned with broader movements for social, economic, and climate justice around the globe. Cooperative lending circles such as the Mission Asset Fund, activist groups like #NotMyDebt, and Debt Collective, a radical debt abolition movement, are examples of collective attempts to rehumanize credit and debt and resist the appropriative practices of contemporary digital finance capitalism in general. Running the gamut from accommodationist to entirely radical, these experiments in mutual aid, debt refusal, and community-building provide us with roadmaps for challenging capitalism and re-thinking credit, debt, power, and personhood within and beyond the current crises.
摘要本文探讨了金融部门内部(及外部)自动化的力量及其矛盾和阻力,特别关注信用评分和贷款的计算实践。它研究了金融科技初创企业LendUp.com和Elevate.com的运营和宣传话语,它们向次级消费者提供小额贷款,以换取他们访问在线社交媒体和移动数据,以及Zest AI和LenddoEFL,它们销售自动决策工具来验证身份和评估风险。该论文回顾了他们对学科声誉的要求以及对用户和社区,尤其是女性和有色人种的影响,认为信用和可信度的自动重新构想否定了其人工智能的形成性设计,并重新定义了关于性格的道德要求,以符合数字资本主义的利益。新冠肺炎大流行引发的经济、社会和文化危机只会突显这些事态发展的内部矛盾,并出现了各种抗债务举措,与全球更广泛的社会、经济和气候正义运动相一致。使命资产基金(Mission Asset Fund)等合作贷款圈、#NotMyDebt等激进组织以及激进的债务废除运动“债务集体”(Debt Collective)都是集体尝试重新人性化信贷和债务,抵制当代数字金融资本主义的挪用做法的例子。从宽松主义到完全激进,这些互助、拒绝债务和社区建设的实验为我们提供了挑战资本主义的路线图,并在当前危机内外重新思考信贷、债务、权力和人格。

ABSTRACT This article explores philanthropic interactions between ‘Big Tech’ and digital rights civil society organizations (DRCSOs) to enhance understanding of the alignment and misalignment of interests between these groups. ‘Big Tech’ wields political influence by distributing cash to research and policy organizations. Academic research supporting ‘Big Tech’ business practices is marshalled to support their political lobbying efforts, while civil society policy work shapes the narrative what dimensions of these businesses should be regulated (or not). While academic work is typically presented as a cool analysis of the relevant issues, DRCSOs purport to represent the interests of individuals and groups negatively affected by those business practices. Through empirical tracking of direct financial flows, as well as an analysis of cash distributions via class action litigation settlements, we show that certain DRCSOs have long-term financial relationships with ‘Big Tech’ that trouble our understanding of the alignments or misalignments of their interests. Through that analysis, we question where and how civil society fits into automated and algorithmic cultural production and perpetuation, and the way that Big Tech uses and guards the economic capital generated through its dominance over ‘automated culture’.
本文探讨了“大科技”与数字权利公民社会组织(drcso)之间的慈善互动,以加深对这些群体之间利益一致和不一致的理解。“大型科技公司”通过向研究和政策组织提供资金来发挥政治影响力。支持“大科技”商业实践的学术研究被组织起来支持它们的政治游说努力,而民间社会的政策工作则塑造了这些企业的哪些方面应该受到监管(或不应该受到监管)的叙事。虽然学术工作通常是对相关问题的冷静分析,但drcso声称代表受这些商业行为负面影响的个人和团体的利益。通过对直接资金流动的实证跟踪,以及通过集体诉讼和解对现金分配的分析,我们表明,某些drcso与“大型科技公司”有着长期的财务关系,这给我们理解他们的利益一致或不一致带来了麻烦。通过这一分析,我们质疑公民社会在哪里以及如何适应自动化和算法文化的生产和延续,以及大型科技公司使用和保护其对“自动化文化”的主导地位所产生的经济资本的方式。
