I draw on the Tuba hunger strike of 2014, which took place in the shadow of the collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the preceding year, to think through questions of collective action in relation to shifting figurations of labour in moments of crisis. I ask how state, capital and (I)NGO priorities shape or re-signify dominant narratives of labour insurgency under supply chain capitalism (Tsing, 2009). I trace conditions that enable the invocation of (highly contextualized) non-work tropes as a strategy for controlling or reframing labour struggles; I am particularly interested in the emergence of the figure of the anti-nationalist or outside agitator and the work of sedition narratives in constructing borders between legitimate and illegal forms of labour mobilization. I show how the highly contingent global assemblages that emerge bear directly on the prospects for organizing (what remains of) the ‘formally’ employed industrial workforce in the global garment sector, holding lessons for other spaces and places.

煽动逻辑:重新象征孟加拉国制衣厂的叛乱劳工

我借鉴2014年的Tuba绝食抗议,那是在前一年孟加拉国达卡的Rana Plaza大楼倒塌的阴影下进行的,它思考了集体行动问题,以解决在某些情况下劳动力转移的问题。危机。我想知道在供应链资本主义下,国家,资本和(I)非政府组织的优先事项如何塑造或重新代表劳动叛乱的主导性叙述(Tsing,2009)。我追踪了一些条件,这些条件使得能够调用(高度上下文相关的)非工作比喻作为控制或限制劳动斗争的策略;我对反民族主义者或外界煽动者的出现以及煽动叛乱的叙事在合法与非法动员形式之间建立边界的工作特别感兴趣。
