摘要

本文通过三个看似微不足道且相互脱节的事件来审视殖民暴力的动态。19世纪70年代,在昆士兰,法律法规的结构框架将劳工贸易中的暴力和往往致命的条件标准化。在想象中的远离文明的边境地带,土著、契约和非白人被聚集在一起,与环境和自然灾害作斗争。殖民统治要求采取更微妙的暴力形式。不作为和默许在制裁、维持和制度化传统形式的暴力方面发挥了作用。这篇文章的中心主题是,暴力是殖民项目所固有的。它显示了人道主义关切的共同作用以及对土地和劳动力的需求在实施和管制殖民暴力方面的作用。它更全面地揭示了暴力在殖民关系中的作用,说明了昆士兰及其周边地区的暴力是如何有意识地产生和运作的。每一个选定的事件都表明,暴力是围绕种族等原则高度合理化的,以及随着对暴力及其正当性的理解正常化,隐性制裁如何使暴力变得不可见

Stabilising Violence in Colonial Rule: Settlement and the Indentured Labour Trade in Queensland in the 1870s
This article examines the dynamics of colonial violence through three apparently insignificant and disconnected events. In Queensland in the 1870s, a structural framework of laws and regulations standardised violent and often fatal conditions in the labour trade. In the imagined remoteness of frontiers from civilisation, Indigenous, indentured and non-white peoples were grouped together with environmental and natural hazards to be battled. Colonial governance called for more subtle forms of violence. Inaction and acquiescence played a role in the sanction, maintenance and institutionalisation of violence in conventionalised forms. The central theme of the article is that violence was inherent to the colonial project. It shows the shared role of humanitarian concerns and the need for land and labour in the performance and regulation of colonial violence. It provides insight into the role of violence in colonial relations more generally as it illustrates how violence in and around Queensland was consciously produced and operated. Each of the chosen incidents shows that violence was highly rationalised around principles such as race, and how implicit sanctions rendered violence non-visible as understandings of violence and its justification were normalised
