“生态-生命政治学”何以可能?——基于托马斯·兰克的批判性考察

How is“Ecological Biopolitics”Possible?--A Theoretical Study Based on Thomas Lemke’s Criticism

托马斯·兰克在对生命政治学予以批判性考察时明确提出了“生态-生命政治学”范畴。基于对福柯生命政治学的辩护,兰克批判了20世纪70年代的“生态-生命政治学”思潮,他在理解“生态-生命政治学”时预设了生物学与政治学的对立,忽视了生态政治学与生命政治学的共性与联系。基于兰克的范畴考察,高弗等当代生命政治学者尝试阐发一种面向未来的“生态-生命政治学”,明确了其关注生物科学技术进展、透视资本主义生活与生产方式、重估人的生命双重性的理论使命。

Thomas Lemke clearly put forward the category of“Ecological Biopolitics”in his critical investigation of Biopolitics.Based on the defense of Foucault’s Biopolitics,Lemke criticized the trend of thought of“Ecological Biopolitics”in the 1970s.When he thought about“Ecological Biopolitics”,he set Ecology against Politics and ignored the potential of mutual construction between Biopolitics and Ecological Politics.Based on Lemke’s category investigation,Annette Gough and other contemporary Biopolitics scholars try to construct a future oriented“Ecological Biopolitics”,and clarify their theoretical mission of paying attention to the progress of life science and technology,seeing through capitalist mode of production and life,and reevaluating the duality of human Life.
