借鉴福柯和阿甘本的概念,我们认为,每天吸食海洛因的人的生活为当代底特律这个模糊地带的赤裸生活提供了最好的例证。首先,我们考虑底特律作为一个被污名化和种族隔离的城市的情况,对其居民产生了具体的后果。然后,我们提供来自深入的人种学和经济访谈的证据,以说明这些男人和女人所占据的各种限制空间——成瘾空间、经济边缘空间和性别空间,以及他们日常生活的不确定性,通过他们对日常生活和互动的描述来捕捉。我们考察他们以经济、情感和道德的方式表达的价值。最后,我们将这些个体作为当代神圣人类别的持续边缘性与既鄙视又依赖他们的政策和权力之间建立联系。我们认为,海洛因有助于填补和麻木这种社会空白,使赤裸裸的生活变得可以忍受,但也将一个人的边缘性巩固为半永久性。
Drawing on concepts from Foucault and Agamben, we maintain that the lives of daily heroin users provide a prime illustration of bare life in the zone of indistinction that is contemporary Detroit. First, we consider the case of Detroit as a stigmatized and racially segregated city, with concrete consequences for its residents. We then present evidence from in-depth ethnographic and economic interviews to illustrate the various spaces of confinement—that of addiction, that of economic marginality, and that of gender—occupied by these men and women, as well as the indeterminacy of their daily lives, captured through their descriptions of daily routines and interactions. We examine their expressions of worth as expressed in economic, emotional and moral terms. Finally, we draw connections between the sustained marginality of these individuals, as a contemporary category of homo sacer, and the policies and powers that both despise and depend upon them. Heroin, we contend, helps to fill and numb this social void, making bare life bearable, but also cementing one’s marginality into semi-permanence.
