Accumulation through derealization: How corporate violence remains unchecked
通过印度村庄的实地研究,分析可口可乐公司如何通过去现实化实践使弱势群体成为不可哀悼的生命,并利用父权话语挪用其脆弱性主张,从而维持暴力积累。
This study examines the alleged organization of violence by Coca-Cola through a field study conducted in a village in India. It draws on the works of Judith Butler to show how subaltern groups are derealized and made into ungrievable lives through specific, yet recurrent, practices that keep violence unchecked. Many participants attempt to resist derealization through protest activities that showcase their vulnerability. However, the firm appropriates their claims to vulnerability through a paternalistic discourse that justifies intensified violence and derealization. This research offers insights into accumulation through derealization and on the effects of resistance to it.
