摘要

这篇文章讲述的是在一个持续反叛乱的地方，与检查站国家的日常遭遇。具体而言，本文考察了尼日利亚东北部的道路运输工人如何在日常生活中体验和应对检查站状态无处不在的威胁。此外，本文强调了空间实践和社会想象，通过这些实践和想象，检查站状态被构成为一种捕食机制和一种谈判空间。对于处于极端情况下的流动主体来说，检查站状态的威胁不是偶发的，而是景观本身的一个特征——一种永久的、激进的静止感和不安全感。在“反恐战争”的阴影下，道路运输工人每天都在追求生存，这迫使他们参与他们所谴责的腐败、胁迫和羞辱的制度。

The Checkpoint State: Extortion, Discontents, and the Pursuit of Survival

This essay is about everyday encounters with the checkpoint state in a locus of enduring counterinsurgency. Specifically, the essay examines how road-transport workers in northeast Nigeria experience and negotiate the omnipresent threat of the checkpoint state in their workaday world. Further, the essay underscores the spatial practices and social imaginaries through which the checkpoint state is constituted as simultaneously an apparatus of predation and as a space of negotiation. For mobile subjects in extremis, the threat of the checkpoint state is not episodic, but a feature of the landscape itself—a permanent, radical sense of immobility and insecurity. The daily pursuit of survival under the shadow of the “war on terror” compels road-transport workers to participate in the corrupt, coercive, and humiliating system they denounce.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
