2009年12月16日，400名全副武装的墨西哥海军陆战队士兵进入库埃尔纳瓦卡市一个封闭的居民区，逮捕墨西哥毒品卡特尔领导人贝尔特兰·莱瓦。他被美国缉毒局（DEA）列为地球上最暴力的贩毒集团头目，被墨西哥总统费利佩·卡尔德龙（FelipeCalder ó n）列为祖国的极端危险敌人。几个小时以来，海军陆战队进行了猛烈的射击，最终结果是贝尔特兰·莱瓦被杀，沿着他的三名杀手和一名海军陆战队员。墨西哥媒体普遍认为，这一事件是墨西哥政府在当前打击有组织犯罪的战争中采取更严厉执法措施的一个成功案例。然而，我对这一事件的态度并不是分析墨西哥关于国家、执法和有组织犯罪的超复杂话语。相反，我将把这个故事作为探索尸体管理的出发点，这对大多数政治学和犯罪学学者来说都是从结束的地方开始的。正如本书的文稿所示，尸体并不总是故事的结局。相反，正如我们将看到的，一具尸体仍然拥有引发更多死亡的力量。总的来说，对尸体的野蛮处理超越了国家安全政治和恐怖主义传播的范畴。相反，尸体被视为一种社会力量，使政治和宗教社会化。他们让过去成为现在
On 16 December 2009, 400 heavily armed soldiers from the Mexican marine forces entered an enclosed residential zone in the city of Cuernavaca to arrest the drug baron Beltr á n Leyva, leader of the Mexican drug cartel of the same name. He was classifi ed as the most violent drug cartel leader on the planet by the American Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and as an extremely dangerous enemy of the fatherland by the Mexican president, Felipe Calder ó n. For several hours, the marines were engaged in heavy shooting with the end result that Beltr á n Leyva was killed, along with three of his hit men and one marine. Th e Mexican press generally considered this incident a success story of the Mexican government’s harder law-enforcement measures in the current war on organised crime. My approach to this incident, however, is not to analyse the hypercomplex discourse on state, law enforcement and organised crime in Mexico. Rather, I will take this story as a departure point for exploring the governance of dead bodies, which starts where it ends for most scholars of political science and criminology. As the contributions to this volume show, the corpse is not always the end of the story. On the contrary, as we shall see, a corpse still holds the power to stir up more death. Th e overall argument is that the brutal treatment of corpses transgresses the spheres of national security politics and the simple spread of terror. Corpses are instead seen as a social force that enchants politics and socialises religion. Th ey make the past present
