摘要

摘要尽管贫民窟旅游很受欢迎,但却陷入了道德化的争论之中。支持者承认,贫民窟旅游有时可能会有问题,但也可能是一种重要的教学体验,向西方人揭示资本主义的恐怖。此外,支持者认为,厌恶没有道德可言——我们永远不应该远离贫民窟和贫困。然而,关于视觉和不透明政治的社会理论表明,透明的承诺——显示真正的贫困——可能会导致植根于西方发展认识论的视觉和认知暴力。我认为,在许多情况下,道德可以从厌恶和远离贫民窟旅游中找到。我认为,富有的、西方的、通常是白人的贫民窟游客身体代表了现状的暴力,这种暴力试图使边缘清晰可见,并将那些被驱逐出贫民窟的人部分重新融入资本。本文为越来越多的文献做出了贡献,这些文献运用社会理论来理解和批判贫民窟旅游及其与资本主义社会的关系。

Morality in aversion?: Meditations on slum tourism and the politics of sight
Abstract Despite fairly widespread popularity, slum tourism is enmeshed in moralizing debate. Supporters acknowledge that slum tourism may sometimes be problematic, but also may potentially be an important pedagogical experience which reveals the horrors of capitalism to westerners. Plus, supporters argue, there is no morality in aversion ‐ we should never turn away from slums and poverty. However, social theory on the politics of sight and opacity suggests that the promise of transparency ‐ showing the real poverty ‐ may lead to a violence of seeing and knowing rooted in western development epistemologies. I argue that morality can be found in aversion and turning away from slum tourism in many instances. I suggest that wealthy, western and usually white bodies of slum tourists represent the violence of the status quo which seeks to make legible a periphery and to partially re-integrate into capital those who have been expelled from it. This paper contributes to a growing literature which deploys social theory to understand and critique slum tourism and its relationship with capitalist society.
