Abstract

ABSTRACT The pieing of a far-right politician at the 2016 Oslo Pride parade was met with condemnation from the media and within Norway’s LGBT movement. The pie-thrower, a member of the European queer-anarchist band Cistem Failure, was charged with committing an “attack on democracy,” a part of the criminal code strengthened after the 22/7 terrorist attacks in 2011 and sentenced to imprisonment followed by deportation. This article reflects critically on the dominant narratives of this event as well as Pride politics more generally, and places them in context with Norway’s increasing mainstreaming of right-wing populism and liberal LGBT organizations’ dependence on state protection and inclusion policies. Drawing on Emma Russell’s critical historical and queer optic, Jin Haritaworn’s regenerative analytic, and Cistem Failure’s alter-narratives, I argue that Norway’s growing “security governance” promotes a divisive othering and obscures the violent exclusion of “undeserving” queers; this presents a deeply disturbing challenge to the democratic right to protest and public dissent. In turn, I advocate for the urgency of a transformative, coalitional politics of radical care - unafraid of confrontation and refusal, committed to the everyday acts of leaving nobody behind and to envisioning a world otherwise.
“蛋糕不是对民主的攻击”:在22/7事件后的挪威,超越贵族的骄傲和建立酷儿联盟
摘要:一名极右翼政客在2016年奥斯陆骄傲游行上的行为遭到了媒体和挪威LGBT运动的谴责。这位扔馅饼的人是欧洲酷儿无政府主义乐队Cistem Failure的成员,他被指控“攻击民主”,这是2011年22/7恐怖袭击后加强的刑法的一部分,被判处监禁,随后被驱逐出境。这篇文章批判性地反思了这一事件的主导叙事以及更广泛的骄傲政治,并将其与挪威日益将右翼民粹主义纳入主流以及自由派LGBT组织对国家保护和包容政策的依赖联系起来。根据Emma Russell的批判历史和酷儿视角、Jin Haritaworn的再生分析以及Cistem Failure的另类叙事,我认为挪威日益增长的“安全治理”促进了分裂性的他者化,并掩盖了对“不值得”的酷儿的暴力排斥;这对抗议和公众异议的民主权利提出了令人深感不安的挑战。反过来,我主张激进关怀的变革性联盟政治的紧迫性——不怕对抗和拒绝,致力于不让任何人掉队的日常行为,并设想一个不同的世界。
