ABSTRACT

The discourse on tolerance has become axiomatic for political and cultural life in the era of (post-)liberal modernity. In the event of any form of violence, the discourse is invoked as a ‘solution’ to ‘intolerance’. But what if we considered the tolerance discourse itself as an axiom of violence? Its discursive labour creates configurations of power relations that transform the existing human affairs and relations into fixed conditions and categories of difference. Instead of taking tolerance as an analytical proxy, this paper ethnographically elucidates how the tolerance discourse is refused and resisted with the social grammars, practices and ethical vernaculars of care, mercy and solidarity. By focusing on the spaces of public kitchens in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina and the ethics of immediacy they engender, I explore the actually existing forms of living with difference beyond the threshold of tolerance discourses.

摘要

在（后）自由现代性时代，关于宽容的话语已成为政治和文化生活的公理。在任何形式的暴力事件中，话语都被称为“不容忍”的“解决方案”。但是，如果我们将宽容话语本身视为暴力公理呢？它的话语劳动创造了权力关系的配置，将现有的人类事务和关系转变为固定的差异条件和类别。本文没有将宽容作为分析代理，而是从人种学角度阐明宽容话语如何被社会语法、实践和关怀、怜悯和团结的伦理白话所拒绝和抵制。通过关注战后波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的公共厨房空间及其产生的即时性伦理，
