Witness Against Torture, Guantanamo and solidarity as resistance 见证酷刑（WAT）组织，关塔那摩监狱和用于反抗的团结 Abstract: The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a quintessential structure of the US national security state and contemporary Empire. For such imperial formations to proceed as if they are normal' requires solidarity from various publics. This paper explores what it means to refuse such solidarity through an ethnographic examination of Witness Against Torture (WAT), a group of US citizens enacting solidarity with the men detained at Guantanamo. WAT's tactical repertoire intervenes in three ways. The Guantanamo prison is not supposed to be seen, but WAT travels there to expose state secrets and the administration's myth of transparency. The prisoners are not supposed to be heard, but WAT publicly amplifies their testimonies through affectively potent street performances. Indefinite detention and torture are meant to remain distant, but WAT links the plight of detainees to that of Black communities in the US interior. Through these acts, WAT simultaneously reveals and contests the culture of erasure and radical divisiveness upon which the US national security state depends. 摘要：关塔那摩湾监狱是美国国家安全状态和当代帝国的一个典型的结构。如何处理这样一个帝国的设施似乎需要各方面的团结，这是很正常的。本文通过对见证酷刑组织（WAT）的“民族志”研究来探讨拒绝这样的团结意味着什么，WAT是一组美国公民推动组织，目的是建立与拘禁在关塔那摩的囚犯的团结。WAT有三种策略。美国关塔那摩监狱是不希望被看到的，但WAT来到这里揭露其秘密并揭穿当局所谓透明度的神话。被拘禁者的呼声不能被听到，但WAT通过公开、强大的感性的街头行动放大了他们的呼声。无限期拘留和酷刑意味着无限期拘留在偏远之地，但WAT将囚徒的困境与美国内陆黑人社区的困境联系在一起。通过这些行为，WAT同时揭露和质疑了美国的国家安全状态所依赖的文化抹杀和激化分歧的做法。 作者: Russo, Chandra 来源：RACE & CLASS 卷: 58 期: 2 页: 4-22 出版年: OCT-DEC 2016 (责任编辑：admin) |
