摘要我们调查了当地社区的动员和谈判，反对在印度南部的维真贾姆村建造一个转运集装箱码头。该项目由国家发起，由私人资本执行，代表了以剥夺积累为特征的更广泛的发展制度模式。与喀拉拉邦南部的其他几个渔村一样，维真贾姆拥有活跃的民间社会社团形式，主要是由拉丁天主教会调解和塑造的。然而，这些联合形式的共同宗教认同未能在当地社区中就港口项目达成共识。由于不同的阶级组成和人口的流动愿望，村里出现了不同的职位。政治气氛限制了教会强烈反对该项目，因为担心它被贴上‘反国家’的标签，因为港口项目被认为对国家的发展和进步至关重要。
Abstract We examine the mobilisation and negotiation of a local community against the construction of a trans-shipment container terminal in Vizhinjam village in southern India. Initiated by the state and executed by the private capital, the project represents the wider pattern of developmental regimes characterised by accumulation by dispossession. Like several other fishing villages in southern Kerala, Vizhinjam has active associational forms of civil society, largely mediated as well as shaped by the Latin Catholic church. The common religious identity of these associational forms, however, failed to generate a consensus among the local community regarding the port project. Diverse positions emerged in the village due to different class formations and mobility aspirations of the population. The political atmosphere constrained the church from strongly opposing the project due to the fear of it being labelled ‘anti-national’, since the port project was projected as essential for the nation’s development and progress.
