文文明沒有出路,逃離才是生存!一部解構國家神話、顛覆文明敘事的高地歷史書寫為何曾有上億人選擇不受國家統治?蠻族、原始在文明世界的真正意義,究竟是進步還是「不願受支配」?當國家伸出權力之手,這群人為何願意自我野蠻化?「贊米亞」(Zomia),是一片海拔300米以上,橫跨6國的高地山區。這裡的少數民族長期分散、流動,且仍然保留著游耕、口述傳統與古老宗教信仰。文明長年想伸手干預、國家曾試圖伸展權力,卻頻頻無功而返。高地的「野蠻生活」,被那些有文字、集中、定居的王朝汙衊成「未開化」的象徵,國家認定少數民族必然會被文明生活所吸引,最終投入國家的懷抱。但斯科特卻指出,這些高地社會絕非古老的遺緒,而是一場精彩的逃避策略!野蠻,在贊米亞成為了一種政治選擇。文明跟野蠻的關係是如何被定型?在現代統治技術形成之前的國家,不過只是散落在地圖上的微小光點,野蠻、不受國家統治才是人類歷史的常態。既然如此,為何人們習以為常地用民族國家的思想,去看待文明與野蠻?文明是一種進步的展現,還是國家建構的老掉牙神話?融合了民族誌、歷史學、政治學與地理學,本書推翻了「野蠻人」與「部落」的定義,揭示族群認同如何在國家權力與抵抗之間被建構與武裝。斯科特試圖挑戰我們對「統治」、「文明」、「發展」與「現代性」所有理所當然的預設,當國家機器無所不在,他提醒我們:不被統治,可能是一種最深層的自由。
