Often dismissed as the rumblings of "the street," popular politics is where political modernity is being formed today, according to Partha Chatterjee. The rise of mass politics all over the world in the twentieth century led to the development of new techniques of governing population groups. On the one hand, the idea of popular sovereignty has gained wide acceptance. On the other hand, the proliferation of security and welfare technologies has created modern governmental bodies that administer populations, but do not provide citizens with an arena for democratic deliberation. Under these conditions, democracy is no longer government of, by, and for the people. Rather, it has become a world of power whose startling dimensions and unwritten rules of engagement Chatterjee provocatively lays bare. This book argues that the rise of ethnic or identity politics-particularly in the postcolonial world-is a consequence of new techniques of governmental administration. Using contemporary examples from India, the book examines the different forms taken by the politics of the governed.
Many of these operate outside of the traditionally defined arena of civil society and the formal legal institutions of the state. This book considers the global conditions within which such local forms of popular politics have appeared and shows us how both community and global society have been transformed. Chatterjee's analysis explores the strategic as well as the ethical dimensions of the new democratic politics of rights, claims, and entitlements of population groups and permits a new understanding of the dynamics of world politics both before and after the events of September 11, 2001. The Politics of the Governed consists of three essays, originally given as the Leonard Hastings Schoff Lectures at Columbia University in November 2001, and four additional essays that complement and extend the analyses presented there. By combining these essays between the covers of a single volume, Chatterjee has given us a major and urgent work that provides a full perspective on the possibilities and limits of democracy in the postcolonial world.
Partha Chatterjee is director of the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, and visiting professor of anthropology at Columbia University.
最近因为要写东西又翻了翻。拎出PS和CS这一组对立的概念还是很聪明的做法。于学理颇有不通之处,却能说明一些问题。但印度的PS仍然是非常特殊的,它是印度较为稳定的民主制度、封闭的精英阶层、迅速的经济发展,和不足够的国家能力交合的产物,也只有在那样的环境下才会出现明显的PS和CS的冲突。所以这个并不是“大部分世界的大众政治”。此外CS也算个理想型吧。书里说的很多PS的特点,比如paralegal的安排,没有绝对的权利只有基于成本的算计和讨价还价,这在CS里也是常态啊。
评分查特吉相当靠谱,从头到尾读一遍还是很对得起期待的。
评分读后两个最好奇的问题: 1). 政治社会和身份政治的逻辑完全重叠吗?如果不是,他们的张力在哪里? 2). 在中国语境下,一方面,政治社会和公民社会的空间都非常有限,因而很难说存在Chatterjee强调的那种显著的精英公民和底层庶民的二分和矛盾,尤其在中国推崇公民意识的城市中产自由派/知识精英其实非常乐见这种庶民抗争,当然,文革记忆还是在两者间划了一条和Chatterjee所述有点类似的线,但中国这种精英对“大鸣大放”和民粹的恐惧和不理解还是带着对国家运动式政治的担忧,不是印度那种对“流氓和穷鬼”的反感;另一方面,新儒家、毛主义和“小康”话语对国家与底层关系的道德塑造,以及这种话语对庶民的开放,至少比福柯的治理术、及Chatterjee所言的人口学工具性多出了一份人文和情感上的合法性

查特吉被称为印度底层研究的干将,最近比较热门,一个原因是不久前他在上海主张中印例外论,其实07年访问中国期间他就说过这个观点。查特吉做过大量印度和孟加拉的民族志研究(关于古吉拉特邦民族冲突,他和纳斯鲍姆在《内部的冲突:民主、宗教暴力和印度的未来》中的观点非常...

评分那种认为“公民社会”是走向现代国家必由之路,并且严肃的探讨何种方式更具可执行性的思考,既不是图谋不轨,也不是太傻太天真,而是存在理论构架上的缺陷。 在任何一个国家,无论是否经过真正的启蒙,都存在“治理化”的倾向,这种倾向以及与个体、自由的矛盾,是任何国家都...
评分有教授曾語重心長道,理論並非讓文章變得更漂亮、更有說服力的哲學修辭,而是啟發我們思考當下的工具。如果社會是個受百病糾纏的身體,學者是醫生,理論便是他們用來觀察和解剖的儀器了。然而身體與病毒一樣,千變萬化無從捉摸,要精確的診斷,便得用最貼身的器具和方法。把病...
