Vanilla prices in Madagascar have reached historic highs. For the country's vanilla‐producing smallholders, the influx of new wealth has resulted in profound affective changes—in large part owing to vanilla theft, which has become widespread. Anxiety and anger are rampant in vanilla‐producing communities, and these feelings are increasingly channeled into deadly mob violence against accused thieves. Rather than random acts, these extrajudicial killings are structured by localized cultural, material, and affective forms, as people enact and embody commodity violence in intimate, often contradictory ways. Commodity violence emerges as an additional form of unwanted emotional and physical labor for smallholders. With the vanilla market, as with commodity markets more generally, it is those with the least to gain who are disproportionately exposed to violence and harm.

“没人想杀人”

马达加斯加的香草价格已经达到历史最高水平。对于该国生产香草的小农户而言，新财富的涌入已引起了深刻的情感变化，这在很大程度上是由于香草盗窃现象日益普遍所致。香草生产社区中普遍存在焦虑和愤怒，这些情绪越来越多地转化为针对被告贼的致命暴民暴力。这些法外处决不是随机行为，而是由局部的文化，物质和情感形式构成的，因为人们以亲密的，通常是相互矛盾的方式制定和体现商品暴力。商品暴力正在作为小农不必要的情感和体力劳动的另一种形式出现。香草市场和商品市场一样，那些获得最少利益的人遭受暴力和伤害的比例过高。[商品繁荣，影响，感觉结构，治安暴力，小农，香草，马达加斯加]
