摘要

社会政治学是指通过权威的社会话语建构政治和权力关系的方式。这个概念与福柯的生命政治学相呼应。“社会”和“社会”是政治的手段，也是政治的范畴基础。就像生命政治中的“生物”一样，“社会”赋予了它所表达和构成的权力一种特殊形式。这篇评论文章用这个概念来讨论詹姆斯·斯科特和大卫·格雷伯最近的作品，以及皮埃尔·克拉斯特雷斯1980年的散文集的英文翻译。我认为，这个无政府主义人类学在无政府主义理论中表达了一个明确的断裂。这种断裂体现在社会和政治在民族志和无政府主义实践的概念化中作为手段和目的相联系的方式。

Sociopolitics

Sociopolitics refer to ways in which politics and relations of power are constituted through an authoritative discourse on the social. This concept echoes Foucault's biopolitics. “Society” and the “social” are devices, as well as categorical foundations, for the political. As with “bio” in biopolitics, “socio” gives a particular form to power that it articulates and constitutes. This review essay uses this concept to discuss recent work of James Scott and David Graeber, and the English-language translation of a 1980 collection of essays by Pierre Clastres. I argue that this anarchist anthropology articulates a clear break within anarchist theory. This break is in the ways the social and the political are related as means and ends in ethnography and in conceptualization of anarchist practice.

期刊介绍： Reviews in Anthropology is the only anthropological journal devoted to lengthy, in-depth review commentary on recently published books. Titles are largely drawn from the professional literature of anthropology, covering the entire range of work inclusive of all sub-disciplines, including biological, cultural, archaeological, and linguistic anthropology; a smaller number of books is selected from related disciplines. Articles evaluate the place of new books in their theoretical and topical literatures, assess their contributions to anthropology as a whole, and appraise the current state of knowledge in the field. The highly diverse subject matter sustains both specialized research and the generalist tradition of holistic anthropology.
