Abstract

Abstract:Indigenous movements against settler sovereignty are often characterized as "civil disobedience." This characterization is problematic as it domesticates Indigenous peoples within the boundaries of settler states. Taking up this problematic, this essay shows that the logic and rhetoric in Hobbes' Leviathan is one that either dissolves collective political resistance into individual self-defense, or delegitimizes it by domesticating Indigenous peoples within the confines of the "civil" order that they challenge. It also shows that Hobbes' attempt to erase past conquests and foreclose future challenges to absolute sovereignty proves that he has to reckon with the temporal origins of political beginnings.

驯化政治抵抗:托马斯·霍布斯《利维坦》中定居者主权的修辞、时间和(限制)

摘要:原住民反对殖民者主权的运动通常被描述为“公民不服从”。这种描述是有问题的，因为它将土著人民驯化在移民国家的边界内。为了解决这个问题，这篇文章表明，霍布斯的《利维坦》中的逻辑和修辞要么将集体政治抵抗消解为个人自卫，要么通过在他们所挑战的“公民”秩序的范围内驯化土著人民，使其失去合法性。这也表明霍布斯试图抹去过去的征服，并阻止未来对绝对主权的挑战，这证明他必须考虑政治起源的时间起源。

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.
