Doing research on fishery commodities in Portugal led us to an enigma: for a dead fish to be fresco (fresh) it must be alive. This paradox manifests at a popular, commercial, and legal level. It denotes the interruption of the difference between being dead and being alive in the commodity form. In Portugal, we suggest, the commercialization of peixe fresco (fresh fish) is based on the production and consumption of edible ‘zombis’: seafood corpses technologically and symbolically crafted as undead. An open concept, ‘edible zombis’ is part of an experimental vocabulary that foregrounds the productive agency of undeadness, both biological and commercial, in the seafood economic complex. It relates to the ordinary practice of necromancy in the commodity-based world. Edible zombis are commodity fetishes that fetishize their producers and consumers, suspending them from the capitalist system in which they live.

食用僵尸:鲜鱼与化妆品尸体产业

在葡萄牙对渔业商品进行研究使我们陷入了一个谜团:死鱼要想成为壁画(新鲜)就必须是活的。这个悖论体现在大众、商业和法律层面。它表示商品形式中生与死的区别的中断。在葡萄牙,我们建议将peixe fresco 商业化(鲜鱼)基于可食用“僵尸”的生产和消费:海鲜尸体在技术上和象征性地被制作成不死生物。一个开放的概念,“可食用的僵尸”是一个实验性词汇的一部分,它突出了海鲜经济综合体中不死生物的生产机构,无论是生物的还是商业的。它与以商品为基础的世界中通灵术的日常实践有关。可食用僵尸是商品拜物教,它崇拜他们的生产者和消费者,将他们从他们所生活的资本主义制度中抽离出来。
