As a new wave of infrastructure expansion takes place globally, there has been a parallel turn to infrastructure in geographical research. This article responds to recent calls within this research for less human-centered engagement with the infrastructure turn. More specifically, this article aims to destablize anthropocentric discussions about infrastructural violence and infrastructural justice. Using the Chad–Cameroon Pipeline Project as a case study, we advance two main points. First, we show that infrastructural violence is not solely directed at humans. Rather, all agents, objects, and conditions—from humans to fish to carbon sequestration—entangled in webs of relations within zones of infrastructural expansion risk being subjected to violence when new and existing infrastructures meet. To illustrate this point, we detail two examples of competitions between new and existing infrastructures along the Chad–Cameroon Pipeline route, which together reveal the various forms of violence experienced by the more-than-human world when new infrastructural arrangements are layered on top of already existing ones. Second, we advance debates on infrastructural justice by adopting a more-than-human perspective in our conceptualization of this term. Recent writing on infrastructural justice has reflected on efforts to repair and rebuild infrastructures to produce more just futures (Sheller 2018 Sheller, M. 2018. Mobility justice: The politics of movement in an age of extremes . New York: Verso. [Google Scholar]). Drawing on the observations and reflections of our fieldwork along the Chad–Cameroon Pipeline route, we argue that just infrastructure projects must not only be inclusive of marginalized human and nonhuman populations but they must also avoid interfering with the infrastructural work done by nature to sustain the more-than-human world.

随着全球基础设施扩展的新浪潮，地理研究中的基础设施也平行转向。本文回应了本研究中最近的呼吁，即减少以人为中心的基础架构转变。更具体地说，本文旨在破坏关于基础设施暴力和基础设施正义的以人为本的讨论。以乍得-喀麦隆管道项目为例，我们提出了两个要点。首先，我们证明了基础设施暴力并不仅仅针对人类。相反，从人类到鱼类再到碳固存的所有主体，物体和条件，都纠缠在基础设施扩展区域内的关系网中，当新的基础设施和现有基础设施相遇时，就有遭受暴力的风险。为了说明这一点，我们详细介绍了乍得-喀麦隆管道沿线的新基础设施与现有基础设施之间的竞争的两个示例，这些案例共同揭示了当新的基础设施安排置于现有基础之上时，人类世界所遭受的各种形式的暴力。第二，我们在本术语的概念化过程中采用了超越人性的观点，从而推动了有关基础设施正义的辩论。关于基础设施正义的最新著作反映了修复和重建基础设施以生产更多公正期货的努力（Sheller 我们在本术语的概念化过程中采用了超越人类的观点，从而推动了有关基础设施正义的辩论。关于基础设施正义的最新著作反映了修复和重建基础设施以生产更多公正期货的努力（Sheller 我们在本术语的概念化过程中采用了超越人性的观点，从而推动了有关基础设施正义的辩论。关于基础设施正义的最新著作反映了修复和重建基础设施以生产更多公正期货的努力（Sheller2018年 Sheller，M. 2018年。流动正义：极端时代的运动政治。纽约：Verso。 [Google Scholar]）。借鉴乍得-喀麦隆管道沿线实地工作的观察和反思，我们认为，仅基础设施项目不仅必须包括边缘化的人类和非人类人口，而且还必须避免干扰自然界为维持生命力而进行的基础设施工作。超越人类的世界。
