ABSTRACT In this article, the authors discuss the use of shit in a series of protests between 2011 and 2017 in the City of Cape Town, South Africa. They specifically interrogate with how these protests mobilised the abject body as a tactical site of political performance, and employ performance as an organising metaphor and conceptual language for interrogating the politics and implications of the act of throwing shit as a tool of protest. In addition, they consider the modes of activism implicit in a ‘politics of shit’, and compare a case study from India with that of Khayelitsha in South Africa in order to engage with Steven Robins’ understanding of ‘slow activism’ and the ‘politics of the ordinary’ as more sustainable and generative models of resistance to neoliberal statehood.

'这狗屎是政治的;狗屎是真的。卫生、抗议和新自由主义、后种族隔离城市的政治

摘要 在本文中,作者讨论了 2011 年至 2017 年在南非开普敦市发生的一系列抗议活动中使用粪便的情况。他们专门询问这些抗议活动如何动员卑鄙的身体作为政治表演的战术场所,并使用表演作为一种组织隐喻和概念语言,以询问作为抗议工具的扔屎行为的政治和含义。此外,他们考虑了“狗屎政治”中隐含的激进主义模式,并将印度的案例研究与南非的 Khayelitsha 的案例研究进行比较,以了解史蒂文罗宾斯对“缓慢的激进主义”和“政治”的理解。的“普通”作为抵抗新自由主义国家的更可持续和生成模型。
