Abstract

Abstract Recent scholarship has emphasized the importance of extractive zones and enclaves in contemporary capitalism. This article seeks to understand the form of authority within these zones. To do so, it charts a brief genealogy of the concession, the reciprocal agreements entered into by states and companies that govern many extractive enclaves. Because concessions have a long, convoluted, and underexamined history, they are an ideal object for examining the shifting configurations of law, sovereignty, property, and government that undergird contemporary extraction. Neither simply public law nor private right, concessions are a unique legal form designed to produce nonsystematic and exceptional legal spaces that remain central to capitalist societies today.

试论租界的系统历史分析

最近的学术研究强调了采掘地带和飞地在当代资本主义中的重要性。本文试图理解这些区域内的权威形式。为了做到这一点，它绘制了一个简短的特许谱系图，即管理许多采掘飞地的国家和公司签订的互惠协议。由于租界有一段漫长、曲折且未被充分研究的历史，它们是研究当代榨取基础上的法律、主权、财产和政府结构变化的理想对象。特许权既不是简单的公法，也不是私人权利，它是一种独特的法律形式，旨在产生非系统的、特殊的法律空间，这些空间在今天的资本主义社会中仍然是核心。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
