Recent scholarship has come to rethink how the concept of anarchy captures the fragmented plurality of contemporary world politics. This article continues that inquiry through an interpretative reading of the popular TV-series Game of Thrones. The appeal of this show partly derives from its animation of medieval tropes to interpellate with contemporary global politics; it echoes power struggles constitutive of today’s international relations. However, while the fantasy show portrays conflictual relations between different claimants of the Iron Throne in Westeros, it also composes subaltern voices amidst these violent claims to power. This article concludes that such an interpretation diversifies the meanings of anarchy, as both violence and freedom, in the ‘game of thrones’ of contemporary politics.

权力的游戏中的无政府状态

最近的学术界开始重新思考无政府状态的概念如何捕捉当代世界政治的支离破碎的多元化。本文通过对流行的电视连续剧《权力的游戏》的解释性阅读来继续该调查。这个节目的吸引力部分来自于中世纪比喻的动画，以询问当代全球政治。它呼应了构成当今国际关系的权力斗争。然而，虽然这部奇幻剧描绘了维斯特洛铁王座的不同主张者之间的冲突关系，但它也在这些对权力的暴力主张中构成了从属的声音。本文的结论是，这种解释使当代政治“权力的游戏”中无政府状态的含义多样化，即​​暴力和自由。
