印度南部正在建立的经济飞地似乎与Aihwa Ong所说的“新自由主义例外”不符。在安得拉邦的一个“经济特区”和周围的实地考察借鉴，本文通过探索结构的连续性和区域之间的动态相互联系，并继续被称为“非正式经济”的语言的例外性批评。印度的经济区不是将其视为司法话语“例外”的表现，即国家尝试替代形式的市场化规则，也不是将其视为劳动人口接受生物政治创新的地下空间。本文展示了这些区域如何将不稳定和政治主观性的条件正式化，而这些条件已经成为南印度大部分地区工作生活的特征，融入了社交网络和超越围墙的生计。
The economic enclaves that are being built across South India would appear to exemplify what Aihwa Ong has called ‘neoliberalism as exception’. Drawing on fieldwork in and around one ‘special economic zone’ in the state of Andhra Pradesh, this article critiques the language of exceptionality by exploring the structural continuities and dynamic interconnections between the zone and what continues to be called the ‘informal economy’. Rather than valorize India’s economic zones as manifestations of a juridical-discursive ‘exception’ in which the state experiments with alternative forms of market-oriented rule or as carceral spaces in which working populations are subjected to innovations in bio-political government this article shows how these zones formalize conditions of precariousness and political subjectivity that already characterize working life in much of South India, incorporating social networks and livelihoods that extend beyond their walls.
