摘要

自2013年成立以来，“黑人的命也是命”(Black Lives Matter，简称BLM)已发展成为一场重要的社会和政治运动。然而，该组织通过抗议反对种族不平等和警察暴行的努力经常遭到执法部门的暴力回应，包括使用各种“不那么致命”的武器。本文旨在探讨和分析2014年至2020年期间使用催泪瓦斯惩戒BLM抗议者的方式。这篇文章以种族、帝国、身份、战争和生物权力为主题，在大都市的抗议场所进行融合，认为殖民逻辑、权力结构和等级制度为今天在BLM抗议者身上部署催泪瓦斯提供了信息。虽然奴隶制和吉姆·克劳(Jim Crow)的时代可能已经正式结束，但它们的遗产和排他性结构继续影响着黑人进步运动被催泪瓦斯镇压的方式。

The Suppression and Othering of Black Lives Matter Protests Through Tear Gas

Following its formation in 2013, Black Lives Matter (BLM) has evolved into an important social and political movement. However, the organization’s efforts to oppose racial inequality and police brutality through protest routinely have been met with a violent response by law enforcement, including the employment of various “less-lethal” weapons. This article aims to explore and analyze the ways in which tear gas has been used to discipline BLM protesters between 2014 and 2020. Drawing upon themes of race, empire, identity, war, and biopower as they coalesce within metropolitan protest sites, this article argues that colonial logics, power structures, and hierarchies inform the deployment of tear gas on BLM protesters today. While the eras of slavery and Jim Crow may have formally ended, their legacies and exclusionary structures continue to influence the way movements for Black advancement are suppressed using tear gas.
