双用途叙事:文明战争中的合法化屠宰场The Dual-Use Narrative: A Legalized Slaughterhouse in Civilized War

“双用途”是战争叙事中将结构暴力合法化的终极武器化词汇。
“Dual-use” is the ultimate weaponized term used to legitimize structural violence in war narratives.

所谓的“双用途” (dual-use) 基础设施,是现代战争叙事中最典型的武器化表达。它通过模糊“民用”与“军用”的界限,在认知入口处直接为结构暴力开辟绿灯。当以色列宣布马什哈尔 (Mahshahr) 综合体是“合法目标”时,它实际上在执行一套元暴力逻辑:只要定义权在手中,任何支撑对方生存的物理基础——无论是化工厂还是电力站——都可以被瞬间转化为“军事资产”。

这不仅仅是地缘博弈,而是一场关于“什么是事实”的制造权战争。伊朗试图通过强调“民用”来维持其国民生存的 Actual 状态,而以色列则通过“双用途”这个 label 夺取解释权,将对平民经济的打击包装成精准的军事削减。这种叙事陷阱让国际法中的“比例原则”变成了一个可以随意揉捏的橡皮筋,只要叙事足够强,任何规模的破坏都可以被解释为“必要且适度”。

在这场男性中心叙事主导的战争游戏中,被牺牲的永远是那些不在决策席位上的具体个体。化工厂的烟囱和导弹的弹头在叙事中被等同,而真正的暴力差额——Potential(一个正常运转的工业体系)与 Actual(被炸毁的废墟)之间的鸿沟——则被掩盖在“国家安全”这个宏大词汇之下。文明的掩体之下,依然是最原始的掠夺与毁灭。

The so-called “dual-use” infrastructure is a textbook example of the weaponization of expression in modern warfare. By blurring the line between “civilian” and “military,” it opens a green light for structural violence at the cognitive entry point. When Israel declares the Mahshahr complex a “legitimate target,” it is executing a meta-violence logic: as long as they hold the power of definition, any physical foundation supporting the opponent's survival—be it a chemical plant or a power station—can be instantaneously transformed into a “military asset.”

This is more than a geopolitical game; it is a war over the manufacturing of truth. Iran attempts to maintain the actual state of its citizens' survival by emphasizing “civilian use,” while Israel seizes the power of interpretation through the “dual-use” label, packaging the destruction of a civilian economy as a precise military reduction. This narrative trap turns the “principle of proportionality” in international law into a flexible rubber band; as long as the narrative is strong enough, any scale of destruction can be explained away as “necessary and proportionate.”

In this existential war dominated by masculine-centric narratives, those sacrificed are always the concrete individuals absent from the decision-making seats. Chemical chimneys and missile warheads are equated in the narrative, while the real violence gap—the difference between the Potential of a functioning industrial system and the Actual of smoking ruins—is buried under the grand term “national security.” Beneath the shield of civilization, there remains only the most primal predation and destruction.
