Abstract

This introduction offers “security from the South” as a method and an analytic to trace the colonial continuities, the imperial geographies, and the forms of difference through which people become subjects of, resist, and shore up security regimes across the world. Rather than one overarching set of politics, practices, and ideas that constitute “security,” the essay insists on a pluriversal lens onto a world in which security regimes appear beguilingly universal. Using a transnational feminist approach, we contest the boundedness of the category of the “Global South,” instead emphasizing the fluidity between supposedly separate scales (e.g., North/South, intimate/global, etc.). Thinking across time and space allows for consideration of the ways in which the US empire has shaped practices elsewhere, but not in isolation, not without tension, and not without links to other empires. Security from the South thus encompasses imperial “war on terror” projects, but has a before and after to such projects, as security regimes across the Global South are enmeshed in longer histories of colonialism and racisms, religion, and gender/sexuality.
来自南方的安全
这篇引言提供了“来自南方的安全”作为一种方法和分析,以追踪殖民地的连续性、帝国地理以及人们成为世界各地安全政权的主体、抵抗和支持的差异形式。这篇文章不是一套构成“安全”的总体政治、实践和思想,而是坚持从多角度审视一个安全制度似乎具有迷人普遍性的世界。使用跨国女权主义的方法,我们质疑“全球南方”类别的有界性,而不是强调所谓的独立尺度(例如,北方/南方、亲密/全球等)之间的流动性。跨越时间和空间的思考允许考虑美国帝国在其他地方塑造实践的方式,但不是孤立的,并非没有与其他帝国的联系。因此,来自南方的安全包括帝国的“反恐战争”项目,但在这些项目之前和之后都有,因为全球南方的安全政权陷入了殖民主义和种族主义、宗教和性别/性的长期历史中。
