在脆弱和充满冲突的空间中,青年往往被塑造成暴力和不安的主体,他们肢解社会的社会结构。然而,许多年轻人正在使用非暴力的战术和战略来表达他们对经济状况的不满和沮丧。在如此衰落的经济中,年轻人生活在不稳定和不确定的生存条件下。本文以津巴布韦的#ThisFlag运动为例,阐述了后殖民时代非洲非暴力抵抗的复杂时间性,以及社交媒体在创造新的替代抗议形式中的地位。本文探讨了在#ThisFlag运动下动员起来的年轻人部署网络空间,对穆加贝和姆南加古瓦政权发起协调一致的非暴力抵抗的方式。它还讨论了#ThisFlag运动部署的各种非暴力策略,以策略性地驾驭政治激进主义的不稳定地形。我认为,年轻人利用他们的技术悟性,大规模动员和制定新颖的和挑衅形式的非暴力政治行动,构成了严重威胁非洲民族联盟-爱国阵线的持久的政治霸权。我还认为,#ThisFlag对非暴力抵抗的使用应该被理解为在对政府批评者和反对派政治活动家长期暴力的背景下行使代理权和社会导航。
Youth in fragile and conflict-ridden spaces are often constructed as violent and restless subjects who dismember the social fabric of society. Yet, many young people are using non-violent tactics and strategies to articulate their grievances and frustrations with the state of their economies. Young people in such decaying economies live under precarious and uncertain existential conditions. Drawing on the #ThisFlag movement in Zimbabwe, this article sheds light on the complex temporalities of non-violent resistance in post-colonial Africa and the place of social media in creating new and alternative forms of protest. The article examines the ways in which young people mobilising under the #ThisFlag movement deployed cyberspaces to launch concerted non-violent resistance against the Mugabe and Mnangagwa regimes. It also discusses various non-violent tactics the #ThisFlag movement deployed to tactically navigate the precarious terrain of political activism. I argue that young people instrumentalised their techno-savviness to mass-mobilise and enact novel and defiant forms of non-violent political action which posed a serious threat to ZANU-PF’s durable political hegemony. I also argue that #ThisFlag’s use of non-violent resistance should be understood as an exercise of agency and social navigation in a context of protracted violence against government critics and opposition political activists.
