摘要

【摘要】在印度2020-2021年农民运动期间,中央政府辩称,在与抗议活动有关的特定地区暂时关闭互联网是为了防止违反法律和秩序。学者们分析说,关闭网络是一种控制言论的手段,这是对言论和表达自由的侵犯。另外的研究指出,这种关闭直接干扰了集会权。这篇论文补充了现有的学术成果,假设在大规模抗议运动期间关闭互联网会干扰与集会权相关的基本民主价值,借用Salát的话说,这是“政治意愿和意见的形成”。根据福柯的生命政治概念,本文认为,与集体抗议相关的关闭也应被理解为通过试图管理信息流通和控制特定行为(即异议)来干预政治意愿和意见的形成。我要感谢西安大略大学的尼克·戴尔-威瑟福德教授对本文早期版本的反馈,以及他提出的“网络崩溃”一词来理解互联网是如何工作的,以及它是如何失败的。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

India’s internet shutdowns as biopolitics: The formation of political will and opinion through collective action under attack
ABSTRACTDuring the 2020–2021 farmers’ movement in India, the central government argued that its temporary internet shutdowns in specific areas associated with the protest aimed to prevent law and order violations. Scholars have analyzed internet shutdowns as a method to control speech, which amounts to an infringement on the freedom of speech and expression. Additional studies have pointed out that such shutdowns directly interfere with the right to assembly. This paper adds to the existing scholarship by positing that internet shutdowns during mass protest movements interfere with a fundamental democracy-related value of the right to assembly, which, to borrow Salát’s phrase, is “the formation of political will and opinion.” Drawing on Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, the paper argues that shutdowns associated with collective protest should also be understood as an interference in the formation of political will and opinion by trying to manage the circulation of information and control a particular behavior, that is, dissent.KEYWORDS: Internet shutdownsFoucaultbiopoliticsfreedom of assemblyfarmers movementIndia AcknowledgmentsI am grateful to Prof. Nick Dyer-Witheford at the University of Western Ontario for his feedback on an earlier version of this paper, and for offering the term “network collapse” to understand how the internet works and how it can fail.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
