摘要

如果新的新自由主义越来越倾向于失败和“死亡”的经济理念,它也依赖于其臣民的疏远和疲惫,他们在长期紧缩的残骸中已经筋疲力尽;危机就是停滞。然而,就在“僵尸新自由主义”威胁要把我们变成僵尸的时候,美国各地的教师工会组织起来,争取一个更有活力的未来。转到新泽西州纽瓦克的案例,这篇文章展示了教师们是如何接受一种策略的,不是绕过或废除那些被新自由主义市场规则掏空的机构,而是接管这些机构,并重新想象它们。为了说明这一点,我展示了教师如何扩大从教师工会到教室再到城市的活动,每次都坚持认为更新和清算可以将这些空间变成更自由的东西。然而,教师也会遇到他们毫无准备的制度性惰性、疏离和压抑。这篇文章认为,僵尸危机需要一种自身的对抗策略,一种适应危机的麻木效应和使用手头工具的困难的策略,这些工具已经完全迟钝了。

After zombies: Notes on labor union and municipal renewal
If the new neoliberalism leans ever more into failure and ‘dead’ economic ideas, it also relies on the estrangement and exhaustion of its subjects, who have been depleted in the wreckage of protracted austerity; crisis as stasis. Yet, even as ‘zombie neoliberalism’ threatens to make zombies of us, teacher unionists across the U.S. organize for a more vibrant future. Turning to the case of Newark, NJ, this article shows how teachers have embraced a strategy not of bypassing or abolishing the institutions most hollowed out by neoliberal market rule but of taking these institutions over and imagining them anew. To illustrate, I show how teachers scale up campaigns from the teachers’ union to the classroom to the city, insisting each time that renewal and reckoning can transform these spaces into something more liberatory. Yet, teachers also encounter a depth of institutional inertia, detachment, and repression for which they are unprepared. The article argues that the zombie conjuncture requires an oppositional strategy of its own, one attuned to the numbing effects of crisis and the difficulties of working with the tools at hand, which have been thoroughly dulled.

期刊介绍: EPD: Society and Space is an international, interdisciplinary scholarly and political project. Through both a peer reviewed journal and an editor reviewed companion website, we publish articles, essays, interviews, forums, and book reviews that examine social struggles over access to and control of space, place, territory, region, and resources. We seek contributions that investigate and challenge the ways that modes and systems of power, difference and oppression differentially shape lives, and how those modes and systems are resisted, subverted and reworked. We welcome work that is empirically engaged and furthers a range of critical epistemological approaches, that pushes conceptual boundaries and puts theory to work in innovative ways, and that consciously navigates the fraught politics of knowledge production within and beyond the academy.
