在《繁文缛节》一书中，我并没有像哈里斯和杰弗里所说的那样，用“武断的”来代替“系统的”。随意性伴随着系统形式的歧视，是对结果的冷漠和印度官僚机构混乱运作方式的结果。解释结构性暴力，或解释不公正，需要理解国家对不同的人意味着什么。贫穷是一种暴力形式，代表着对穷人的杀戮，这一主要论点强调了将贫穷视为一种生物政治事实所导致的不公正。我使用的政治概念不局限于政党和动员，而是渗透于所有不平等的关系。尽管哈里斯和杰弗里对《繁文缛节》中提出的分析表达了不满，但他们未能提出一个充分而连贯的替代方案。
Abstract In Red Tape, I do not use the term “arbitrary” in opposition to “systematic”, as is alleged by Harriss and Jeffrey. Arbitrariness accompanies systematic forms of discrimination, and is the result of both, the indifference to outcomes and to the chaotic style of functioning of Indian bureaucracies. Interpreting structural violence, or explaining injustice, requires understanding what the state means to different people. The chief argument that poverty is a form of violence, and represents the killing of the poor, underlines the injustice that results from treating poverty as a biopolitical fact. I employ a notion of politics that is not restricted to parties and mobilization, but which saturates all relations of inequality. Despite voicing dissatisfaction with the analysis presented in Red Tape, Harriss and Jeffrey fail to forward an adequate and coherent alternative.
