被乱码掩盖的身体,与被定义权的暴力The Body in Glitch: Violence of the Defined Power

当表达被技术性抹除,主体性便在认知的真空里被权力任意定义。
When expression is technically erased, subjectivity is arbitrarily defined within a cognitive vacuum by power.

这条新闻的文本呈现出一种极端的讽刺:正文几乎全部被乱码填充。在数字时代,乱码不仅是技术故障,它在社会学意义上是一种极致的 structural violence。当一个人的经历、一个事件的真相被转化为不可读的字符,这意味着该个体的 expression 被强行切断,其存在性被推向了真空。

在这样的认知真空里,解释权(interpretation power)便成了唯一的武器。谁掌控了对这段乱码的“翻译”或“定义”,谁就拥有了定义事实的权力。这正是元暴力的运作逻辑:通过制造信息的断裂,让权力者能够随心所欲地书写叙事,而真正的受害者则在字符的废墟中彻底失语。

我们习惯于讨论可见的暴力,但这种将主体性“格式化”为乱码的行为,是文化暴力最高级的形式——它不直接杀掉你,但它通过抹除你的表达,让你在社会共识的维度里“从未存在”。

如果一个人的生命轨迹在公共记录中只是一串无意义的符号,那么任何关于他的“定义”都成了某种形式的 scam。在这种结构性抹除面前,任何所谓的“宽容”或“救济”都只是表演性的让步,因为真正的公正表达要求的是一个完整的、可被阅读的身份,而不是一个被权力修剪后的符号。

The presentation of this news is a peak irony: the body text is almost entirely consumed by glitches. In the digital age, a glitch is not merely a technical failure; sociologically, it represents a form of extreme structural violence. When a person's experience or the truth of an event is converted into unreadable characters, their expression is forcibly severed, and their existence is pushed into a vacuum.

Within such a cognitive vacuum, the power of interpretation becomes the sole weapon. Whoever controls the "translation" or "definition" of this glitch owns the power to manufacture the fact. This is precisely how meta-violence operates: by creating a rupture in information, the powerful can write narratives at will, while the actual victim remains utterly voiceless amidst the ruins of characters.

We are accustomed to discussing visible violence, but this act of "formatting" subjectivity into glitches is the most sophisticated form of cultural violence—it doesn't kill you directly, but by erasing your expression, it ensures you "never existed" in the dimension of social consensus.

If a person's life trajectory in public records is nothing but a string of meaningless symbols, then any "definition" of them becomes a scam. Faced with such structural erasure, any so-called "tolerance" or "relief" is merely a performative concession, for a just expression requires a complete, readable identity, not a symbol pruned by power.
