Unruly Affects: Attempts at Control and All That Escapes from an American Mental Health Court

Based on two years oj ethnographic fieldwork in mental health courts in the San Francisco Bay Area, this article juxtaposes the fixity that defines the legal concept of jurisdiction with the itineracy of homeless individuals judged by criminal courts. I assert that jurisdiction is an attempt at control: by invoking jurisdiction, courts attempt to fix people and objects within time and space so as to yield a narrative of liberal accountability for which defendants can be held responsible. Rather than assume the vantage point ojthe law, I stick with Harriet, a person who was homeless and subject to a mental health court's attempt at control. Moving away from the law exposes when state attempts at control Jail. Claims to jurisdiction reflect the state's reliance on control through a particular chronotope of linear time and divisible space. In differently configuring time and space as cyclical and unbounded, Harriet confounds the law's attempt at control. Further, the state's invocation of jurisdiction as a concept that fixes time and space produces unruly affects, or coordinates of relation that escape a rule of law presenting itself as rational. Harriet's relationships with others reflect and enable her escape from state control: they inhabit an affective atmosphere that is produced by the law's own chronotopic terms, but that reject the individual accountability that the law understands as a product of claims to jurisdiction. In paying attention to missed encounters between Harriet and the court, this article reveals and theorizes moments in which power escapes its own terms and enters asocial, deindividuated, affective sphere, [affect; law; jurisdiction; social control; state power; subjectivity; homelessness; mental health; criminal courts; the United States]

残酷的影响:试图进行控制以及从美国精神卫生法院逃脱的一切

基于旧金山湾区精神卫生法院的人种学现场调查两年,本文将固定性与固定性结合起来,该固定性定义了管辖权的法律概念与由刑事法院判定的无家可归者的巡回权。我断言,司法管辖权是对控制的一种尝试:法院通过援引司法管辖权,试图在时空上固定人和物体,以产生自由主义问责制的叙述,对被告负有责任。我坚持认为哈里特是一个无家可归的人,该人无家可归,并受到精神健康法院的控制,他没有承担法律的不利影响。当国家试图控制监狱时,背离法律就会暴露出来。对管辖权的主张反映了国家对特定时间的线性时间和可分空间的依赖,即对控制的依赖。在以不同的方式将时间和空间配置为周期性和无界时,哈里特混淆了法律对控制的尝试。此外,国家援引管辖权作为固定时间和空间的概念会产生不合规则的影响,或关系的坐标,从而逃避了表现为理性的法治。哈丽雅特与他人的关系反映并使其摆脱了国家控制:他们居住在一种由法律本身的历时性术语所产生的情感氛围中,但却拒绝了法律理解为对管辖权主张的产物的个人问责制。在关注哈丽雅特与法院之间错过的相遇时,本文揭示并理论化了权力脱离自己的术语并进入社会的,非个体化的,情感领域的时刻。法; 管辖权; 社会控制;国家权力 主观性 无家可归 精神健康; 刑事法院;美国]
