Abstract

This paper approaches globalization through the lens of folk lore, myth, and John Law's hopeful monsters, focusing on Hannah Twynnoy, a woman allegedly killed by a tiger in Malmesbury (England) in 1703. Hannah's death was taken up three hundred years later as a metaphor for globalization when local factory jobs were relocated to a ‘tiger economy’ (Malaysia). Taken to manifest Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury's ‘state of nature’, Hannah's story also illustrates the reverse. Globalization can fragment and deregulate, but globalization assembles and regulates to. Hannah's gravestone and burial records blend real and virtual, local, and global; the genealogy of ‘tigers’ challenges Michel Foucault; and questions regarding blame echo across centuries, in ongoing conflict over agency and causation (as per Edmund Evans). Is globalisation a ‘jungle out there’? No. Local factory jobs did go. Nevertheless, sustaining global intellectual property regulation means the company employs more people in Malmesbury today than before manufacturing relocated. After it was announced that local jobs would be ‘eaten up’ by a ‘tiger economy’, a spate of alien big cat (ABC) sightings near Malmesbury did express what Susan Lepselter calls the inchoate injuries of class and power. Indeed, experiencing such fabulous things did resonate with something real.

汉娜-特温诺伊(Hannah Twynnoy)是否于 1703 年在英国被老虎咬死?历史社会学方法
本文通过民间传说、神话和约翰-劳(John Law)笔下充满希望的怪物的视角来探讨全球化问题,重点关注汉娜-特温诺伊(Hannah Twynnoy),据称她于 1703 年在英国马姆斯伯里(Malmesbury)被老虎杀死。汉娜之死在三百年后被用作全球化的隐喻,当时当地工厂的工作被转移到 "老虎经济"(马来西亚)。汉娜的故事被认为是托马斯-霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury)的 "自然状态 "的体现,但也说明了相反的情况。全球化可以分裂和解除管制,但也可以集结和管制。汉娜的墓碑和墓葬记录将现实与虚拟、本地与全球融为一体;"老虎 "的谱系对米歇尔-福柯提出了挑战;关于责任的问题跨越了几个世纪,在关于代理和因果关系的持续冲突中回响(如埃德蒙-埃文斯所言)。全球化是 "外面的丛林 "吗?不是。当地工厂的工作岗位确实减少了。尽管如此,全球知识产权法规的持续实施意味着该公司目前在马姆斯伯里的员工人数比生产基地搬迁前还要多。在宣布本地工作岗位将被 "老虎经济""蚕食 "之后,在马尔梅斯伯里附近出现的一连串外星大型猫科动物(ABC)确实表达了苏珊-勒普塞尔特(Susan Lepselter)所说的阶级和权力的无意识伤害。事实上,经历这些美妙的事情确实能引起一些真实的共鸣。
