摘要

关于战争纪念的争论可以帮助民主理论回应当前自由民主国家(尤其是美国)在战争中公民身份的衰减。随着战争涉及更多的先进技术和更少的士兵，公民与战争的关系发生了变化。在这种背景下，战争纪念在重塑这种关系方面起着特殊的作用。在当代新自由主义国家中，当前的记忆和纪念战争的做法回应了一个困境:国家需要为持续的战争辩护并获得支持，同时使公民远离参与。其结果是一种纪念性的消费文化，这种文化寻求政治团体的团结，而它在几乎没有公民的情况下进行战争，并贬低了公众。新自由主义战争以很少的士兵和经济逻辑进行，揭示了对他人的脆弱性，这导致了更积极和批判性的民主公民。

War without Citizens

Contestation over war memorialization can help democratic theory respond to the current attenuation of citizenship in war in liberal democratic states, especially the United States. As war involves more advanced technologies and fewer soldiers, the relation of citizenship to war changes. In this context war memorialization plays a particular role in refiguring the relation. Current practices of remembering and memorializing war in contemporary neoliberal states respond to a dilemma: the state needs to justify and garner support for continual wars while distancing citizenship from participation. The result is a consumer culture of memorialization that seeks to effect a unity of the political community while it fights wars with few citizens and devalues the public. Neoliberal wars fought with few soldiers and an economic logic reveals the vulnerability to otherness that leads to more active and critical democratic citizenship.

期刊介绍： Democratic Theory is a peer-reviewed journal published and distributed by Berghahn. It encourages philosophical and interdisciplinary contributions that critically explore democratic theory—in all its forms. Spanning a range of views, the journal offers a cross-disciplinary forum for diverse theoretical questions to be put forward and systematically examined. It advances non-Western as well as Western ideas and is actively based on the premise that there are many forms of democracies and many types of democrats. As a forum for debate, the journal challenges theorists to ask and answer the perennial questions that plague the field of democratization studies: Why is democracy so prominent in the world today? What is the meaning of democracy? Will democracy continue to expand? Are current forms of democracy sufficient to give voice to “the people” in an increasingly fragmented and divided world? Who leads in democracy? What types of non-Western democratic theories are there? Should democrats always defend democracy? Should democrats be fearful of de-democratization, post-democracies, and the rise of hybridized regimes?
