摘要本文从历史和跨国的角度分析了厄立特里亚国家压制宗教身份和宗教制度的逻辑。它认为,当代宗教镇压表达了与厄立特里亚革命后过渡的内部动态、民族国家的跨国配置以及对全球化压力的更大关注有关的文化、政治和代际冲突。一个关键的命题是,对宗教的镇压与民族主义政权的现代世俗主义以及人权话语与北方干涉主义和跨国侨民反对厄立特里亚政权同时交叉的方式有关。通过对当代批判学术对世俗主义和人权话语中固有的紧张和矛盾的分析,厄立特里亚的案例突出了它们的解放潜力如何被权力政权所利用。
AbstractThis paper analyzes the logic of the Eritrean state’s repression of religious identities and institutions from a historical and transnational perspective. It argues that contemporary religious repression expresses cultural, political, and generational conflicts related to the internal dynamics of Eritrea’s postrevolutionary transition, the transnational configuration of the nation-state, and larger preoccupations with the pressures of globalization. A key proposition is that repression of religion is related to both the modernist secularism of the nationalist regime and the ways in which human rights discourse intersects simultaneously with northern interventionism and transnational diaspora opposition to the Eritrean regime. Analyzing the Eritrean case with respect to contemporary critical scholarship on the tensions and contradictions inherent in secularism and human rights discourse highlights how their emancipatory potentials can be co-opted by regimes of power.
