泰国2020–2021年亲民主抗议活动：多样性、冲突与团结
题目: Thailand’s 2020–2021 Pro-Democracy Protests: Diversity, Conflict, and Solidarity

摘要：泰国2020-2021年亲民主运动超越了“反君主制青年运动”的普遍性，汇聚了包括女权主义、贫困和教育改革在内的多元议程，与共同政治诉求相结合。本文探讨这些不同的议程、这些议程与抗议活动的关系，以及其对民主抗议者集体身份认同的影响。通过对17名抗议者的深度访谈发现，抗议活动不仅是表达政治立场的平台，也是教育性社会化的场所——抗议者在此了解不同的社会议题和其他抗议者的抗争。这些过程使他们通过结构性视角理解威权主义和民主，即除了威权政府和君主制，抗议者还旨在根除实施类似威权政权实践或文化的各种机构。他们对民主的理解同样具有扩展性，超越了议会政治的范畴，纳入了他们日常生活经验中的各种问题。抗议者通过将民主视为必然会带来意见分歧，进而产生争议和冲突的概念，从而保持团结一致感。抗议者的结构性方法意味着2020-2021年的抗议活动是独一无二的，是泰国以往抗议活动的新发展。
Beyond its popular characterisation as an “anti-monarchy youth movement,” Thailand’s 2020–2021 pro-democracy movement brought together a diverse range of agendas, including feminism, poverty, and education reform along with shared political demands. This article explores these different agendas, their relationship to the protests, and their implications for the collective identity of democracy protestors. Drawing from 17 in-depth interviews with protestors, it was found that the protests were not only a platform to express political positions but also for pedagogical socialisation, where protestors learned about different social issues and the struggles of other protestors. These processes led them to understand authoritarianism and democracy with a structural lens, where in addition to authoritarian government and the monarchy, the protestors aim to uproot various institutions exercising practices or cultures resembling that of the authoritarian regime. Their understanding of democracy was similarly expansive, going beyond parliamentary politics to accommodate issues within their daily lived experience. The protestors retained a sense of solidarity by conceiving of democracy as necessarily entailing a diversity of views and subsequently disagreements and conflicts. The protestors’ structural approach means the 2020–2021 protests were unique and a novel development from previous protests in Thailand.
饱和市场中的创业女性：性别权力如何形塑柬埔寨农村债务体验
题目: Entrepreneurial Women in a Saturated Marketplace: How Gendered Power Shapes Experiences of Debt in Rural Cambodia

摘要：债务既可以是通往自由与繁荣的路径，亦是剥削的根源。本文通过分析柬埔寨农村小店主的具身债务关系（embodied debt relations），揭示性别、阶级与族群权力关系如何形塑人们从小额信贷中获益的能力。基于对25位农村小店主的访谈，本文分析了针对高棉族与原住民女性的小额金融信贷如何在资本有限的情况下推动微型商业创设，以及如何导致农村店铺的过度饱和。陷入困境的店主通过向顾客提供免息信贷，试图维系忠诚客户并履行植根于性别与族群规范的利他义务——这一做法虽为社区带来好处，却也伴随着性别化风险，特别是更贫困女性承担了不成比例的具身劳动。研究表明，正式债务既可以与互助传统相结合，从而扩展互惠纽带，但也可能为剥削创造条件。社会对“创业女性”的期待忽视了贷款饱和的结构性条件，以及形塑人们经营小微企业的社会权力交叉性关系。
Debt can be both a path to freedom and prosperity and a source of exploitation. This article analyses the embodied debt relations of rural shop owners in Cambodia to show how gender, class, and ethnic relations of power shape people’s ability to benefit from micro-credit. Drawing on 25 interviews with rural shop owners, the article analyses how the expansion of micro-finance loans for Khmer and Indigenous women to set up micro-businesses with little capital has encouraged an over-supply of rural shops. Struggling shop owners seek to retain loyal customers and perform obligations of altruism rooted in gender and ethnic norms by offering interest-free credit to customers, a practice that brings benefits to communities but entails gendered risks and embodied labour that is disproportionately borne by poorer women. This analysis reveals how formal debt can articulate with traditions of reciprocal assistance in ways that expand reciprocal bonds, while also enabling exploitation. The expectations placed on “entrepreneurial women” neglect the structural conditions of loan saturation and the intersectional relations of social power that shape people’s ability to run small businesses.
管制空间中的争议性行动：新加坡示威活动的抗议事件分析
题目: Contentious Acts in Controlled Spaces: A Protest Event Analysis of Singaporean Demonstrations

摘要：自1965年新加坡独立以来，维持其在国内的霸权地位是人民行动党的统治核心特征之一。为了平息因其广泛控制而引发的民众日益增长的不满，该党推行了一系列有限的自由化措施，包括2008年引入合法化抗议活动。然而，近年来人民行动党试图削弱抗议活动的影响力，这表明其认为这些抗议可能对其持续主导新加坡社会各领域构成潜在政治挑战。为探究这些潜在挑战，本文采用抗议事件分析法，首次提供了自抗议合法化以来新加坡抗议活动的数据集。本文的核心论点是：尽管抗议活动对人民行动党在新加坡政治体制中的制度性控制影响有限，但它们已逐步改变公共话语，并促使新加坡的政治化争议空间得到拓展。这一现象标志着新加坡公民社会发展的一个重要进程。尽管目前这种影响仍受局限，但文章强调，随着经济和政治环境的变化，抗议活动未来可能催生更具实质性的挑战。
Maintaining its hegemonic role in Singapore has been one of the defining features of the People’s Action Party (PAP) rule since the country gained independence in 1965. To quell rising frustrations resulting from its wide-reaching control, the party has overseen a series of limited liberalisations, including the 2008 introduction of legalised protests. However, in recent years the PAP has sought to reduce the influence of protests, suggesting it sees potential political challenges to its continued dominance over various aspects of Singaporean life. To examine these potential challenges, this article performs a protest event analysis and provides the first dataset of Singaporean protests since legalisation. The central argument of the article is that although protests have had limited impact on the institutional control the PAP has over the Singaporean political system, they have influenced public discourse and contributed to the expansion of politicised and contentious space in Singapore. This represents an important development in the emergence of Singaporean civil society. While this impact is currently limited, the article highlights the potential for more substantial challenges to emerge from protests in response to changing economic and political conditions.
酿造全球转型：多样化资本主义、企业战略与东南亚啤酒产业重构

摘要：亚洲已成为全球最大的啤酒消费区，而东南亚正经历最强劲的需求增长。尽管亚洲啤酒产业吸引了全球与区域资本的投入并经历重大重构，但学界对这些变革的关注却十分有限。本文以越南、缅甸和泰国为案例，分析全球与区域性龙头企业如何适应东南亚不断变化的竞争格局与增长需求。通过融合多样化资本主义理论与嵌入性概念、符号价值的分析框架，研究阐释了企业如何制定市场准入、风险管控与品牌强化战略。研究揭示了区域性生产网络与全球性生产网络如何在东南亚并存互动，以及区域性龙头企业如何在挑战全球巨头时陷入困境。研究发现，当面临声誉风险时，区域与全球资本会有限度地与既有网络脱钩，并揭示企业如何共同塑造啤酒消费需求。本文深刻论证了嵌入性对市场拓展的作用，以及龙头企业如何通过收购本土竞争者、利用其既有声誉及在地化社会嵌入巩固自身地位。
Asia has become the world’s largest beer-consuming region, and Southeast Asia sees the strongest growth in demand. While the Asian beer industry attracts investments from global and regional capital and is undergoing significant restructuring, there has been little academic attention to these transformations. In this article, the focus is on Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand to analyse how global and regional lead firms adapt to changing competition and increasing demand in Southeast Asia. A combination of theorisations of variegated capitalism with embeddedness and symbolic value is used to explain firm strategies on accessing markets, managing risk and building stronger brands. This analysis demonstrates how regional and global production networks co-exist and interact, and how regional lead firms struggle to challenge global lead firms in accessing the Southeast Asian beer market. The findings show how regional and global capital to a limited extent dissociate from established networks when representing a reputational risk and illustrate how firms co-create the demand for beer. The analysis gives a strong account of the role of embeddedness for expanding market access, and how lead firms seek to strengthen their position through buying up local competition to profit from their established reputation, and territorial and societal embeddedness.
僵尸启示录与全球资本主义危机：阶级、不稳定工作与环境
题目:Zombie Apocalypse and the Crisis of Global Capitalism: Class, Precarious Work, and Environment

摘要：“僵尸”始终是对国家与资本的尖锐批判。从加勒比殖民地的奴隶制起源，到乔治·罗梅罗可被解读为批判种族主义与消费主义的僵尸电影，本文指出僵尸既象征了被剥夺灵魂、被迫永恒劳作的“无脑”劳动者，也隐喻了资本主义世界中被物化的消费者。21世纪第一个十年末期，僵尸开始出现在既非好莱坞风格、也非美国电影中。本文认为，这些非美国僵尸电影将僵尸末日描绘为当代全球资本主义的危机。我们将深入分析四部国际僵尸电影——《背包客》（泰国，2009）、《首尔站》（韩国，2016）、《负重前行》（澳大利亚，2017）和《小怪物》（澳大利亚，2019）。这些国际电影中的僵尸揭示了资本主义的多个侧面，包括非法移民、不稳定无产者或可被抛弃的劳工，以及生态危机。此外，这些电影也反映了走出僵尸/资本主义恶托邦的路径，不仅涉及革命政治，还触及土著政治与代际政治。
Zombies have always represented sharp criticisms of state and capital. From their roots in slavery in the Caribbean colonies to George Romero’s zombie films, which can be read as criticisms of racism and consumerism, this article proposes that zombies have embodied both the “mindless” labourer deprived of soul and forced to work eternally as well as the fetishised consumer in a capitalist world. By the end of the first decade of the current century, zombies began to appear in films which were neither Hollywood-style nor, indeed, American at all. This article argues that these non-American zombie films portray the zombie apocalypse as a crisis of contemporary global capitalism. It will closely examine four international zombie films, Backpacker (Thailand, 2009), Seoul Station (South Korea, 2016), Cargo (Australia, 2017), and Little Monsters (Australia, 2019). The zombies in these international films reveal several aspects of capitalism such as illegal migration, the precariat or disposable workers, and the ecological crisis. Moreover, these films also reflect the way out of the zombie/capitalist dystopia which touches upon not only revolutionary but also indigenous and generational politics.
