In June 2016, Qandeel Baloch, a 26-year-old Pakistani social media star, was murdered. Her death sparked both public outrage and a policy debate around ‘honour killing’, digital rights and sex-positive sexuality across Pakistan and its diasporas. Qandeel challenged what constitutes a proper Pakistani woman, an authentic Baloch and a respectable digital citizen. As a national sex symbol, she failed at the gendered workings of respectable heterosexuality, and during her short lifetime she optimised this failure and public fetish as a technologically mediated social currency (clicks, hashtags, comments, likes, reposts) to build a transnational celebrity brand. I centre Qandeel Baloch’s life and afterlives to think through the economic entanglements of honour, racialised ethnicity, coloniality, sexual violence and social media at the intersections of globalised anti-Blackness and honourable brownness as a matter of global capital. Within these complex registers of coloniality, Qandeel’s life and brutal murder necessitate a rethinking of categories of racialised ethnicity (Baloch), sexual labour (racial capital) and social media (digitality) as vectors of value for capitalism and nationalism. By centring Qandeel, I define honour as a form of racialised property relations. This rereading of honour, as an economic metric of heteropatriarchy, shifts my lens of honour killing from a crime of culture to a crime of property. Women’s honour functions as a necrocapitalist technology that constructs female and feminine bodies as the debris of heterosexual empire through racialised, gendered and sexualised property relations. These relations and registers of honour get further complicated by social media currency and discussions around digital rights, privacy and freedom of expression. Honour is, therefore, the economic management of sexual morality produced through race, religion and imperialism.

2016 年 6 月，26 岁的巴基斯坦社交媒体明星 Qandeel Baloch 被谋杀。她的死引发了公众的愤怒和围绕巴基斯坦及其侨民的“名誉杀人”、数字权利和性积极性行为的政策辩论。Qandeel 挑战了什么才是真正的巴基斯坦女性、真正的俾路支人和受人尊敬的数字公民。作为一个全国性的象征，她在受人尊敬的异性恋的性别化运作上失败了，在她短暂的一生中，她将这种失败和公众恋物癖优化为一种以技术为媒介的社交货币（点击、标签、评论、喜欢、转发），以建立一个跨国名人牌。我以 Qandeel Baloch 的生活和来世为中心，思考荣誉、种族化的种族、殖民、作为全球资本的问题，全球化的反黑人和可敬的棕色之间的性暴力和社交媒体。在这些复杂的殖民记录中，Qandeel 的生活和残酷的谋杀需要重新思考种族化的种族（俾路支）、性劳动（种族资本）和社交媒体（数字化）作为资本主义和民族主义价值载体的类别。通过以 Qandeel 为中心，我将荣誉定义为一种种族化的财产关系形式。这种对荣誉的重读，作为异父权制的经济指标，将我对荣誉谋杀的看法从 性劳动（种族资本）和社交媒体（数字化）作为资本主义和民族主义的价值载体。通过以 Qandeel 为中心，我将荣誉定义为一种种族化的财产关系形式。这种对荣誉的重读，作为异父权制的经济指标，将我对荣誉谋杀的看法从 性劳动（种族资本）和社交媒体（数字化）作为资本主义和民族主义的价值载体。通过以 Qandeel 为中心，我将荣誉定义为一种种族化的财产关系形式。这种对荣誉的重读，作为异父权制的经济指标，将我对荣誉谋杀的看法从文化罪转化为财产罪。女性荣誉作为一种死亡资本主义技术，通过种族化、性别化和性化的财产关系，将女性和女性的身体构建为异性恋帝国的碎片。这些关系和荣誉登记因社交媒体货币和围绕数字权利、隐私和言论自由的讨论而变得更加复杂。因此，荣誉是通过种族、宗教和帝国主义产生的对性道德的经济管理。
