所谓的“和平地基”与被客体化的黎巴嫩尸体The So-called 'Foundation of Peace' and the Objectified Corpses of Lebanon
看这则新闻,最令人作呕的不是袭击本身,而是那种极度典型的 Masculine-centric narrative。美国副总统 JD Vance 把外交谈判比作“盖房子”,说他们已经打好了“地基”(foundation)。在这种极其典型的男性工程学隐喻里,所有的外交辞令都被简化成了某种建筑进度条。而在这个“地基”之下,被掩埋的是 4,100 具黎巴嫩人的尸体,包括 773 名女性、儿童和医护人员。
这就是典型的 Weaponization of Expression。将地缘政治冲突包装成“和平进程”或“安全地带”,是用文明的词汇为结构性暴力(structural violence)提供掩体。以色列所谓的“安全区”本质上是对他者领土的物理侵占,而美国与伊朗在瑞士的谈判,则是两个权力中心在进行一次典型的 Complicity 博弈。他们讨论的是核计划、霍尔木兹海峡的通行权和所谓的“红线”,至于黎巴嫩南部的平民死活,在他们的叙事里只是一个可以被用来增加谈判筹码的“变量”。
在这个博弈场中,黎巴嫩人的生命被彻底客体化了。他们不是具有主体性的存在,而是被大国用来定义“和平”或“违约”的工具。当伊朗大使警告“将做出回应”时,这种回应同样不是为了那些死去的平民,而是为了维护其在区域权力版图中的解释权。这种由男性权力构建的“和平”,其实就是一种 Meta violence:它定义了什么是重要的(核能、航道、战略协议),并预设了什么是可以被牺牲的(边缘地带的平民生命)。
所谓的“好基础”,不过是几个权力者在空调房里达成的一场共谋。在这种共谋中,暴力被转化为协议,而协议的代价由那些没有进入谈判桌的人用血来支付。
The most nauseating part of this news is not the attack itself, but the textbook Masculine-centric narrative. US VP JD Vance compares diplomatic negotiations to 'building a house,' claiming they've laid the 'foundation.' In this typical masculine engineering metaphor, all diplomatic discourse is reduced to a construction progress bar. Buried beneath this 'foundation' are 4,100 Lebanese corpses, including 773 women, children, and healthcare workers.
This is a prime example of the Weaponisation of Expression. Packaging geopolitical conflict as a 'peace process' or 'security zone' uses the vocabulary of civilization as a shield for structural violence. Israel's so-called 'security zone' is essentially a physical occupation of the other's territory, while the US-Iran talks in Switzerland are a typical Complicity game between two power centers. They discuss nuclear programs, the Strait of Hormuz, and 'red lines'; the lives of civilians in southern Lebanon are merely 'variables' used as bargaining chips.
In this game, Lebanese lives are completely objectified. They are not subjects with agency, but tools used by great powers to define 'peace' or 'violation.' When the Iranian ambassador warns of a 'response,' that response is not for the dead civilians, but to maintain the interpretation power within the regional power map. This 'peace' constructed by masculine power is a form of Meta violence: it defines what is important (nuclear energy, shipping lanes, strategic pacts) and presets what is expendable (civilian lives in marginal zones).
The so-called 'good foundation' is nothing more than a conspiracy between a few powerful men in air-conditioned rooms. In this complicity, violence is converted into agreements, and the cost of those agreements is paid in blood by those who were never invited to the table.
