这篇文章集中讨论了人们对生命、公民身份和民主异议的要求是如何被撤销的，他们越是敢于反抗和动员起来反对印度南部库丹库拉姆的一座核电站。基于生物发电和死亡发电的文献，有人认为，印度政府正在通过为下层人口及其政治支持者创造死亡条件来行使核死亡发电。这些“死亡世界”超越了物理死亡，包括生态，社会和政治条件，一个人的生命被削弱。受害者、嫌疑犯和/或目标是在地理、社会和政治上产生的，是“让死”和“让死”的滑动和融合的结果。这些五花八门的观点可能是通过三种重叠的模式来描述的，这些模式将死亡权力嵌入核工业、环境、社会等级制度和国家支持的行动的政治中，以削弱底层人口、反核活动家和环保主义者。第一种模式包括生态因素，即核工业使边缘化社区和临时工陷入环境不确定性、剥削和健康危害的生活中。第二种是为了遏制和消除反对核能的异议而在网上和网下施加的更公开和惩罚性的暴力。第三种是通过制造一种诽谤文化，即旨在诽谤和排斥反核活动家和环保主义者的战略。
The article concentrates on the ways people's claim to life, citizenry and democratic dissent were revoked the more they dared to defy and mobilise against a nuclear power plant at Kudankulam in southern India. Building on the literature on biopower and necropower, it is argued that the Indian state is exercising nuclear necropower through the creation of death conditions for subaltern populations as well as their political supporters. These ‘death worlds’ go beyond physical demise to encompass ecological, social and political conditions by which a person's life is diminished. Victims, suspects, and/or targets are geographically, socially and politically created as a consequence of sliding and syncretic subjugations to do with ‘let die’ and ‘make die’. These variegated perspectives might be delineated by way of three overlapping modalities that embed necropower in the politics of the nuclear industries, environment, social hierarchies and state-backed operations to undermine subaltern populations, anti-nuclear activists and environmentalists. The first modality encompasses ecological factors by way of a silent and encroaching death where nuclear industries subject marginalised communities and casual labourers to a life of environmental uncertainty, exploitation and health hazards. The second is the more overt and punitive violence exacted on- and offline in order to contain and extinguish dissent against nuclear power. The third is by way of producing a culture of vilification in terms of strategies designed to malign and outcaste anti-nuclear activists and environmentalists.
