Song for Flint for solo viola 歌 中提琴 中提琴獨奏 朔特版

裘蒂斯-巴特勒將 "不穩定 "定義為不穩定的不平等分配。這是一個岌岌可危的時代，在這個時代，獲得安全潔淨的水是一項瀕臨滅絕的人權，人類的過度行為對地球造成的破壞日益嚴重。但這也是一個系統性不平等的時代，企業、市政當局和民族國家可以通過戰爭、放鬆管制的污染以及不同程度地剝奪基本生活需求，對整個弱勢人群造成或逐步或嚴重的傷害。賈斯比爾-普阿爾（Jasbir Puar）揭露了強權這種殘酷的、基本不受制約的能力，她批判性地稱之為 "致殘權"。密西根州弗林特市的人們成為了一個歷史性的例子，以環境種族主義的形式，他們是遭受這種暴力的活生生的人。在這個水之年，我將這幅作品和我的委託獻給弗林特的孩子們

原文簡介:
Judith Butler defines “precarity” as the unequal distribution of precariousness. These are precarious times, in which access to safe clean water is an endangered human right, increasingly under siege by the damage to the planet brought about by humankind’s excesses. But this is also an epoch of systemic inequality, in which corporations, municipalities, and nation-states can and do inflict incremental or drastic harm on entire vulnerable populations, through war, deregulated pollution, and the differential withholding of basic life needs. Jasbir Puar has called out this cruel, largely unchecked capacity of the powerful, which she critically labels “the right to maim.” The people of Flint, Michigan became a historic example of a living population subjected to this kind of violence, in the form of environmental racism. In this Year of Water, I offer this piece, and my commission, to the children of Flint.– Vijay IyerNew York CityOctober 2, 2019
