Abstract

Carceral spaces—such as neighborhood zones of police surveillance and plantation prisons that exploit incarcerated labor—reflect and reproduce systems of oppression that are also present in the food system. The state regularly polices poverty instead of addressing how racial capitalism perpetuates the lack of access to basic needs like healthy food. Conversely, the food system relies on carceral practices to secure disciplined labor by weaponizing the possibility of deportation and wielding the threat of violence to maintain control over racialized undocumented workers. But there are also seeds of struggle for the abolition of penal logics and institutions by incarcerated people and their allies on the outside. These include efforts to transform eating and food work in prison, reimagine food justice as an anti-carceral social movement, and use resistance tactics like hunger strikes. In this special issue introduction, we address these connections and set the stage for all the articles by asking: What does carcerality offer to theorizing and understanding the food system, food cultures, and food relations? And, what does a critical look at food offer toward understanding—and eventually abolishing—carceral systems? We offer theoretical touch points that connect food justice work to long-standing prison abolition organizing while introducing the major themes and contributions of each article included in the issue. We end with a reflection on our aspirations for the future of food studies.

食物与禁锢:从禁闭到废除

摘要

监狱空间——例如警察监视区和剥削被监禁劳工的种植园监狱——反映并再现了食品系统中也存在的压迫制度。该州经常对贫困进行监管,而不是解决种族资本主义如何使人们无法获得健康食品等基本需求。相反,食品系统依赖于监狱实践,通过将驱逐的可能性武器化并使用暴力威胁来维持对种族化无证工人的控制,从而确保有纪律的劳工。但也有被监禁者及其外部盟友为废除刑罚逻辑和制度而斗争的种子。其中包括努力改变监狱中的饮食和食品工作,将食品正义重新想象为一项反监禁的社会运动,并使用绝食等抵抗策略。在本期特刊介绍中,我们通过以下问题解决这些联系并为所有文章奠定基础:carcerality 为理论化和理解食物系统、食物文化和食物关系提供了什么?而且,对食物的批判性研究对理解并最终废除监狱系统有何帮助?我们提供了将食品正义工作与长期废除监狱组织联系起来的理论接触点,同时介绍了该问题中每篇文章的主要主题和贡献。最后,我们反思了我们对食品研究未来的抱负。Carcerality 对食物系统、食物文化和食物关系的理论化和理解提供了什么?而且,对食物的批判性研究对理解并最终废除监狱系统有何帮助?我们提供了将食品正义工作与长期废除监狱组织联系起来的理论接触点,同时介绍了该问题中每篇文章的主要主题和贡献。最后,我们反思了我们对食品研究未来的抱负。Carcerality 对食物系统、食物文化和食物关系的理论化和理解提供了什么?而且,对食物的批判性研究对理解并最终废除监狱系统有何帮助?我们提供了将食品正义工作与长期废除监狱组织联系起来的理论接触点,同时介绍了该问题中每篇文章的主要主题和贡献。最后,我们反思了我们对食品研究未来的抱负。对食物的批判性审视对理解——并最终废除——监狱系统有什么帮助?我们提供了将食品正义工作与长期废除监狱组织联系起来的理论接触点,同时介绍了该问题中每篇文章的主要主题和贡献。最后,我们反思了我们对食品研究未来的抱负。对食物的批判性审视对理解——并最终废除——监狱系统有什么帮助?我们提供了将食品正义工作与长期废除监狱组织联系起来的理论接触点,同时介绍了该问题中每篇文章的主要主题和贡献。最后,我们反思了我们对食品研究未来的抱负。
