Abstract:

When basic needs of the most vulnerable populations come into conflict with economic projects, necrocapitalist practices are laid bare. Víctor Arregui's El facilitador (The Facilitator, Ecuador, 2013) represents a confrontation between an indigenous group and a wealthy landowner over water rights, mitigated by the film's protagonist, the landowner's daughter. Through dialogue with Achille Mbembe, Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee, and Giorgio Agamben on necropolitics, necrocapitalism, and bare life and the state of exception, I explore the film's portrayal of collusion between landowners, businessmen, politicians, and military and police forces in exerting seemingly inescapable biopolitical power over an indigenous highland community. Arregui's use of scene montages in particular draws attention to fissures in the predominant necropolitical, necrocapitalist order. Still, even as El facilitador challenges the status quo and uncovers fissures in a seemingly invincible socio-political order, the film reminds the viewer of how deeply embedded necrocapitalist practices are, not only in Ecuador but around the world.

通路和盟友:阿雷吉的El Facilitador中的原住民水权和亡灵资本主义

摘要:

当最弱势群体的基本需求与经济项目发生冲突时,就会出现死资本主义的做法。VíctorArregui的El主持人主持人,厄瓜多尔,2013年)代表了一个土著群体与一个富有的土地所有者之间关于水权的对抗,这部电影的主人公,即土地所有者的女儿缓解了这种冲突。通过与Achille Mbembe,Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee和Giorgio Agamben进行关于政治政治,死灵资本主义,光秃秃的生活和例外状态的对话,我探索了影片对土地所有者,商人,政治人物以及军事和警察部队之间勾结的描绘,他们似乎无法逃避对土著高地社区的生物政治权力。阿雷吉(Arregui)对场景蒙太奇的使用尤其引起人们注意,主要是死政治,死资本主义秩序中的裂痕。尽管如此,即使在El主持人现状提出挑战时 影片以看似不可战胜的社会政治秩序揭露了裂痕,这部影片使观众想起了不仅在厄瓜多尔而且在世界范围内,深层的亡命资本主义实践是多么深刻。
