The political: A view from Jakarta’s kampungs
本文回应Leitner和Sheppard关于雅加达的研究,主张从社会再生产视角理解贫民窟及其居民被驱逐问题,揭示其中涌现的集体政治能动性。
This article is a response to Leitner and Sheppard’s recent publications on Jakarta. I argue that Jakarta’s kampungs and the eviction of their communities is a topic that needs to be situated in the realm of social reproduction. The multidimensional problems in kampungs fall within capitalism’s wider ‘crisis of care’. From this methodological position, we can access the political domain of the kampung, from which a new political agency emerges as collective bodies beyond merely the sum of individual survival tactics.
