这篇文章问:为什么处于全球证券市场边缘的社区即使在经济和政治上获益最少的情况下仍继续参与?要回答这个问题,我们探讨如何军事情感的逻辑,理解军事服务是可取的和/或不可避免的,体现通过情感关系和殖民结构。我们专注于尼泊尔的廓尔喀社区,与英国有两百年的殖民军事遗产。女权主义和后殖民主义对军事的研究表明,战争和全球不安全是如何通过性别殖民经济和话语逻辑来构建的,从而塑造了军事体系和主题。然而,军国主义如何在“西方”以外的军事化社区内部运作以及与这些社区的关系方面的情感层面仍然没有得到充分探讨,这些社区的身份和物质条件是通过殖民历史构建的。为了弥补这一差距,我们运用劳伦·伯兰特(Lauren Berlant,2011)的残酷乐观主义概念,来理解为什么这些社区在代价高昂的情况下仍然依附于军国主义。我们认为,在廓尔喀背景下的军国主义是情感上的感觉和结构上的经验,以这样一种方式,它呈现了一个军事途径,一个良好的生活是自然和可取的,尽管有证据表明,脆弱性和不可能追求这条道路。
This article asks: why do communities located at the periphery of the global security market continue to participate, even when they gain the least economically and politically? To answer this, we explore how militarism—an affectively felt logic that understands military service as desirable and/or inevitable—manifests through both affective relations and colonial structures. We focus on Gurkha communities in Nepal with a colonial military heritage of two hundred years with the British. Feminist and postcolonial research on militaries has demonstrated how war and global insecurity is framed through gendered colonial economies and discursive logics, shaping military systems and subjects. Yet what remains underexplored is the affective dimension of how militarism operates within, and in relation to, militarized communities outside the “West” whose identities and material conditions are structured through colonial histories. To address this gap, we operationalize Lauren Berlant's (2011) concept of cruel optimism to capture why these communities stay attached to militarism when the costs abound. We argue that militarism within the Gurkha context is both affectively felt and structurally experienced in such a way that it renders a military pathway to a good life as natural and desirable, despite evidence of the fragility and impossibility of pursuing this path.
