本文采用后结构主义与无政府主义交汇的立场，推进了对主权权力本质的概念性洞察，考察了一个三元系统的辩证法：资本/原始积累、法律/暴力和文明/野蛮，它们被认为存在于一个相辅相成的三边逻辑中。这是对资本主义及其法律程序和文明影响的激进(重新)评价，这些共同掩盖了原始积累和财产制度最初和正在进行的暴力。这种混淆表明，无论在哪里实施三边逻辑，例外状态也会产生，将我们所有人暴露为潜在的人类萨瑟(不算数的生命)。利用柬埔寨当代新自由主义的经验框架，我提供了一个窗口，说明主权国家如何围绕构成逻辑三边的三个话语制度星座(即资本主义、文明和法律)配置自己。这里的意图不是制定指令性的解决办法，而是批评和辩称，不应将加强柬埔寨的法律制度视为当代社会弊病的灵丹妙药，而应将其理解为将财产暴力合法化的强加。
Employing a poststructuralist-meets-anarchist stance that advances conceptual insight into the nature of sovereign power, this article examines the dialectics of a triadic system: capital/primitive accumulation, law/violence, and civilization/savagery, which are argued to exist in a mutually reinforcing trilateral of logics. This is a radical (re)appraisal of capitalism, its legal processes, and its civilizing effects that together serve to mask the originary and ongoing violences of primitive accumulation and the property system. Such obfuscation suggests that wherever the trilateral of logics is enacted, so too is the state of exception called into being, exposing us all as potential homo sacer (life that does not count). Using the empirical frame of Cambodia's contemporary neoliberalization, I offer a window on how sovereign power configures itself around the three discursive-institutional constellations (i.e., capitalism, civilization, and law) that form the trilateral of logics. Rather than formulating prescriptive solutions, the intention here is critique and to argue that the preoccupation with strengthening Cambodia's legal system should not be read as a panacea for contemporary social ills but as an imposition that serves to legitimize the violences of property.
