Building on embodied and de-colonial approaches to geopolitics, this paper examines the relationship between forms of governance in municipal cemetery and crematorium provision and the needs of established minorities, arguing that inadequate infrastructure and services can constitute harm. Crucially, it is contended that forms of governance impact not only on the living, but also on perceptions of the wellbeing of the dead. Grounded in a study of four towns in England and Wales, the paper identifies firstly how intersectional identity fundamentally shapes people’s experiences of deathscape governance; secondly, the possibilities of infrastructural benefits of inclusive services; and thirdly, the harms done by non-inclusive forms of governance, implicit territoriality and inadequate infrastructure. This is evidenced in the negative impact of poor municipal cemetery organisation and management on specific minority groups, such as inadequate burial space, high burial costs, hindrances to timely rituals, and reduced access to services as a result of government austerity measures; as well as protracted local planning processes. The conclusion calls for a wider conceptualisation of necropolitics, based on a critical-feminist-decolonial geopolitics of deathscapes in multicultural societies, and offers insights for the practical governance of inclusive cemeteries and crematoria.

（基础）结构性暴力和文化包容的交叉点：少数民族墓地和火葬场供应的地缘政治

本文以地缘政治的具体化和去殖民化方法为基础，研究了市政公墓和火葬场的治理形式与既定少数民族的需求之间的关系，认为基础设施和服务不足可能会造成伤害。至关重要的是，有人认为，治理形式不仅会影响生者，还会影响对死者福祉的看法。该论文基于对英格兰和威尔士四个城镇的研究，首先确定了交叉身份如何从根本上塑造人们对死亡景观治理的体验；其次，普惠性服务的基础设施效益的可能性；第三，非包容性治理形式、隐性领土和基础设施不足造成的危害。这体现在市政公墓组织和管理不善对特定少数群体的负面影响，例如埋葬空间不足、埋葬成本高、阻碍及时举行仪式以及由于政府紧缩措施导致获得服务的机会减少；以及漫长的地方规划过程。结论要求基于多元文化社会死亡景观的批判女权主义非殖民主义地缘政治对死者政治进行更广泛的概念化，并为包容性墓地和火葬场的实际治理提供见解。以及漫长的地方规划过程。结论要求基于多元文化社会死亡景观的批判性女权主义非殖民主义地缘政治对墓地政治进行更广泛的概念化，并为包容性墓地和火葬场的实际治理提供见解。以及漫长的地方规划过程。结论要求基于多元文化社会死亡景观的批判性女权主义非殖民主义地缘政治对墓地政治进行更广泛的概念化，并为包容性墓地和火葬场的实际治理提供见解。
