ABSTRACT

Retributive justice serves as a punitive foundation on which Western education is organized. It relies on paternalistic notions of moral goodness with the teacher embodying moral perfection and academe serving as the “neutral” ground on which a student learns to be a “moral” actor. In turn, students of marginalized intersectional difference “pay” for their incapacity to perform correctly. We reject retributive impulses as violent enactments of power. Our goal is humble and direct: abolish the prison industrial complex with everything we've got. And we believe pedagogical contexts provide a relational means to critique and imagine a world free of prisons.

摘要

报酬正义是组织西方教育的惩罚基础。它依赖于家长式的道德善意概念，其中教师体现了道德上的完美，而学术界则是学生学习成为“道德”演员的“中立”基础。反过来，边缘化相交差异的学生则为他们丧失了正确表现的能力“付出”。我们拒绝将报应性冲动视为权力的暴力颁布。我们的目标是谦逊而直接的：用我们拥有的一切废除监狱工业园区。而且我们相信，教学环境为批评和想象一个没有监狱的世界提供了一种关系手段。
