“衰弱”这一概念在当代的出现,与对新自由主义生命政治的尖锐批判处于同一时期,它涉及到广大人群,他们的日常生活只是维持现状,从未得到改善。从历史上看,资本依赖于因劳动而必然变得衰弱的人口,而这种更新的理解模式则涉及到衰弱本身固有的盈利性。这两个维度相互重叠且共存,但我在此要探讨的是认识到以下这一点所产生的影响:从最根本的层面来说,新自由主义的利益在于制造并维持衰弱的身体,从而使这些身体容易接受一系列市场商品,这些商品承诺对身体、认知和情感体现的相关缺陷进行治疗性干预。在之前的研究中,我曾极力主张所有身体都具有内在的脆弱性,但在这里考虑一个更明显政治化的背景时,就有可能重新探讨贾斯比尔·普尔提出的问题:“哪些身体要为‘进步’付出代价?哪些衰弱的身体能够为新自由主义重新注入活力,哪些不能?”而且在当前这个实行紧缩政策的时期,我还要补充一点,如果用“衰弱”一词而非“残疾”,会有什么损失(如果有的话)?
The contemporary emergence of the concept ‘debility’, which pertains to a broad swathe of humanity whose ordinary lives simply persist without ever getting better, shares a time span with an acute critique of neo-liberal biopolitics. Where capital has historically relied on a population that through its labour necessarily becomes debilitated, the newer model of understanding references the intrinsic profitability of debility itself. The two dimensions overlap and co-exist, but what I shall pursue here are the implications of recognising that, at the most fundamental level, it is in the interests of neo-liberalism to produce and sustain bodies as debilitated and therefore susceptible to a range of market commodities that hold out the promise of therapeutic interventions into the relative failures of physical, cognitive and affective embodiment. In previous work, I have argued strongly for the inherent vulnerability of all bodies, but in considering here a more overtly politicised context, it becomes possible to readdress the questions posed by Jasbir Puar: ‘which bodies are made to pay for “progress”? Which debilitated bodies can be reinvigorated for neoliberalism, and which cannot?’ And at the present moment, writing at a time of imposed austerity, I would add, what, if anything, is lost in the deployment of the term debility instead of disability?
