Migrant and Marginalized Body in Connection with Digital Technologies as a Prosthesis of the Monstrous
In: Filozofski vestnik: FV. International edition, Band 44, Heft 2
ISSN: 0353-4510
This article situates the (human) body as a signifier for society at large, arguing that developments in many societies of structural and systematic violence that targets minorities such as refugees and first nation peoples, points to a failure of democratic values. Using two examples, we elaborate technology and digital devices as prosthesis of the body, that are also acting as proxy for state violence. The first example is from the carceral archipelago of Manus Island as a site of remote detention of refugees carried out by the Australian government. Refugees held on Manus Island describe the treatment they experience as torture. The second example is drawn from the Australian mainland, telling the stories of First Nations children subjected to abuse and violence in juvenile detention centers. A judicial inquiry (Royal Commission) found that a systematic approach aimed at punishing children constituted torture. The concepts developed in this article are those of bordering and racialization, while the intertwining of human and "more than human life" helps to understand and challenge the necropolitical power evident in (liberal) capitalism.

Towards Decent Society: the Demands of Justice and the Demands of Civility
In: Thesis eleven: critical theory and historical sociology, Band 101, Heft 1, S. 97-105
ISSN: 1461-7455, 0725-5136
This essay outlines an argument for fostering the conditions for civil society to emerge in conflict or post-conflict situations. Only where a 'civil' society and 'decent' society exist together can democratic engagement flourish in the long term. The essay explores the possibilities for decency in social and political conduct where conflict and rupture have been the norm. In establishing decency in social relations and in institutions, trust must be generated where distrust has prevailed as a result of the recent past and memories of a longer past. Common in the contemporary period have been the interventions of humanitarian organizations — such as international and local human rights organizations. How can we assess this activity in relation to the establishment or re-establishment of a civil society and to practices and institutions that reflect decency? What occurs in 'transitional' times to foster social relations and institutions that reflect decency in actions between people? The essay looks briefly at the example of the Palestinian West Bank in this context.
