Abstract

Abstract:Lethal racist violence is a definitive feature of the United States' past and present. America—where over 1,500 women are killed annually—also has a femicide problem, although it is not as prominent in public and scholarly debates. This article theorizes the roles that institutional actors play in allowing lethal racist and sexist violence in the US, examining the relational dynamics among the state, perpetrators, and victims. Drawing upon the theories and critiques of biopolitics, I call this exercise of state power letting kill and illustrate how it operates by increasing the vulnerability of marginalized populations to premature death in contexts where they are already systematically killed. In the US, this becomes especially clear when we pay attention to Black femicide.

在美国被杀:杀害女性是国家授权的暴力

摘要:致命的种族主义暴力是美国过去和现在的一个明确特征。美国——每年有超过1500名妇女被杀害——也有杀害妇女的问题，尽管在公众和学术辩论中没有那么突出。这篇文章理论化了制度行为者在美国允许致命的种族主义和性别歧视暴力中所扮演的角色，研究了国家、肇事者和受害者之间的关系动态。根据生命政治的理论和批评，我把这种国家权力的行使称为允许杀戮，并说明它是如何通过增加边缘化人群在已经被系统杀害的情况下过早死亡的脆弱性来运作的。在美国，当我们关注杀害黑人女性时，这一点变得尤为明显。

期刊介绍： The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
