781My people suffering for the last 100 years have not been a trend.我国人民在过去100年中遭受的苦难并不是一个趋势。
782I do it because Palestinians deserve full and total liberation from their oppressors and to reclaim their land.我这样做是因为巴勒斯坦人应当从他们的压迫者那里得到充分和彻底的解放,并收回他们的土地。
783I don't protest against racism for gratification.我不抗议种族主义来取悦.
784I do it because I believe that all of us are deserving of human rights,我这样做是因为我相信我们所有人都值得人权,
785not to be oppressed for the color or our religion.不要因为肤色或我们的宗教而受到压迫。
786Did you know that the last encampment for Palestine is in the UK?你知道巴勒斯坦的最后营地在英国吗?
787The SLZ, so as Liberation Zone.SLZ,所以作为解放区.

794a university that claims to be an anti-colonial one?一个自称反殖民的大学?
795Do you think someone goes there just to get expelled?你觉得有人去那里只是为了被开除吗?

797Keeping in mind, people say that the youth is our future.人们铭记,青年是我们的未来。

803But to generalize an entire age group and say that their activism is performative但是把整个年龄段的人概括起来 说他们的活动是能表现的
804is ridiculous and diminishes everything they do.这是荒谬的,减少他们所做的一切。

810To everyone in this house, don't worry.对这房子里的所有人来说 别担心
811I won't say anything too controversial.我不会说太多争议
812Firstly, I must state that as someone who has studied geography for most of her life,首先,我必须说,作为一个研究地理的人 她的大部分时间,
813it may come across as slightly ironic that I'm going to discuss how performative youth activism is.可能有点讽刺的是,我要去讨论 如何表现青年活动。
814I vividly remember when I myself was part of a walkout at the age of 15.我生动地记得我15岁时就参加过散步
815Being in year 10 and knowing full well that our GCSEs were in exactly a year's time,10年级时 完全知道 我们的普通教育学院 正好在一年的时间里
816we probably shouldn't have done this during our math lesson.我们也许不该在数学课上这样
817But we did so that because during this time,但我们这样做是因为在这期间
818Extinction Rebellion是英国最大的气候活动团体.
819They were a powerhouse for youth activism,他们是青年运动的动力所在
820encouraging thousands of students to skip school to demonstrate on the streets of central London.鼓励数以千计的学生跳过学校,在伦敦市中心的街道上示威.
821To us, as young people at my school,作为我学校的年轻人,
822we saw this as an opportunity to make our teachers aware that we too lived on Earth.我们认为这是一个机会,让我们的老师意识到,我们同样生活在地球上。
823And these were our futures we were fighting for.这些都是我们为之奋斗的未来。
824The results of our walkout?我们走出去的结果?
825We were all given detentions.我们都被拘留了
826I guess it was worth it.我想这是值得的。
827We were 15.我们才15岁
828We used detentions to revise.我们用拘留来修正
829The purpose of this debate is not to discourage activism itself,这场辩论的目的不是要阻止活动本身,
830nor is it to dissuade young people from standing firmly in what they believe in,也不劝阻青年人坚忍,
831whether it be by posting on social media, quietly marching down the streets of Trafalgar Square,是否通过在社交媒体上发布, 悄悄地游行在特拉法尔加广场的街道上,
832or gluing themselves down to roads.或把自己拖到路边
833But it is to dissect the way that young people do their activism.但是,这是要解析年轻人从事活动的方式。
834Why is it performative rather than truly active?为什么它不是真正活跃,而是具有表现力?
835The opposition has framed and implied that performatism can be fake, hypocritical and selfish,反对派陷害并暗示 表演主义可以是假的,伪善的和自私的,
836stating that these adjectives do not describe the likes of youth activism,指出这些形容词没有描述青年积极性,
837which on the surface may be true.在表面上可能是真实的。
838But we need to take a more nuanced approach to defining what performatism is,但我们需要采取一种更细致的方法来定义什么是表演主义,
839especially around the context of activism.特别是在行动主义的背景下。
840We cannot state that young people are being hypocritical and selfish我们不能说年轻人是虚伪和自私的
841as they protest and bring attention to the fact that they will be the ones taking the brunt因为他们抗议并提请注意,他们是首当其冲的;
842of poor government policy to tackle rising rates of pollution,处理污染率上升的政府政策不佳,
843or that water will become so scarce that it will cost the lives of millions of children或者水会变得如此稀少 以致数百万儿童丧生
844in developing nations, while corporations continue to externalise environmental costs公司继续将环境成本外部化
845onto vulnerable communities.在脆弱社区。
846The argument is that performative activism is primarily oriented towards being seen holding a position,理由是,表现性行动的主要方向是被看成是持有一种立场,
847rather than materially or physically changing conditions.而不是物质或物理条件的变化。
848It prioritises visibility and moral display over sustained structural engagement.它把能见度和道德表现放在持续的结构参与之上。
849Youth activists may be sincere in what they are protesting.青年活动家在抗议时可能很真诚。
850They may care deeply about what they are fighting for.他们可能非常关心他们为什么而战。
851And yes, some of their movements may achieve things.是的,他们的一些运动 可能实现的东西。
852If it wasn't for my persistence and slight stubbornness during my time as head girl during sixth form,如果不是我在六年级的时候 坚持不懈和轻度固执
853my school wouldn't have invested in recycling bins and proper waste bins,我的学校不会投资回收 垃圾箱和适当的垃圾箱,
854something so small, yet which its ignorance has dire consequences on certain habitats across the world.它的无知对全世界某些栖息地造成严重后果。
855The point is that primary logic driving activism is performance.要点是,主要的逻辑驱动活动是表现。
856So, using this definition, activism is more of a spatial performance.因此,使用这个定义, 活动性更是一种空间性能。
857Don't worry, I won't bore you with elements of my degree, although I could talk about geography all day long.别担心,我不会让你厌烦我的学位, 虽然我可以整天谈论地理问题。
858But it is important to understand that activism is all about visibility in space.但重要的是要明白,行动主义完全在于在空间中的能见度。
859The more evident it is online or in person affects how it is received by the people involved or watching.越明显地是在线或亲自影响所涉或观看者如何接受。
860Even more so, young people use social media platforms to spread their ideology and opinions.更有甚者,年轻人利用社交媒体平台传播他们的意识形态和意见.
861Think of it as Instagram or TikTok live streams, Twitter slash ex reposts, even the spread of mass media via WhatsApp.推特在推特上连连大众传媒通过WhatsApp的传播,
862I know everyone has probably received something from their aunt or uncle.我知道每个人都可能收到 从他们的姑姑或叔叔的东西。
863All these mediums are used to gain popularity and support.所有这些媒介都被用来获得欢迎和支持。
864They are not bad to use, but for what purpose?它们使用不坏,但出于什么目的?
865Yes, it encourages demonstrations and the freedom of expression.是的,它鼓励示威和言论自由。
866But while such demonstrations can generate visibility and urgency,但是,虽然这种示威可以产生可见度和紧迫性,
867they often struggle to translate the visibility into durable legislative change.他们往往努力将知名度转化为持久的立法改革。
868For example, one could argue that organising a blockade on Downing Street or Whitehall例如,人们可以争辩说,组织封锁唐宁街或怀特霍尔街。
869as a form of protest against the lack of widely acceptable long-term environmental policy is ultimately ineffective.作为抗议缺乏广泛接受的长期环境政策的一种形式,最终是无效的。
870If it obstructs the very people capable of implementing that change.如果它阻碍有能力实施这一变革的人。
871You see, although the activism is honourable, it stands as performative.你瞧,尽管这个活动是光荣的,但它是表现的。
872A showy display of the lengths humanity is willing to go to, all to prove a point.展示人类愿意去的长度 都是为了证明一点
873These kinds of activism gains popularity online, not in parliament.此类活动在网络上,
874Social media rewards activism with immediate likes and comments社会媒体以即时的喜好和评论奖励活动家。
875outraged from those who disagree with a particular form of activism.对那些不同意某种特定形式活动的人感到愤怒。
876And for the leaders and founders of these demonstrations, a large following.对于这些示威游行的领导人和发起者来说, 是一个巨大的追随者。
877None of this helps with what really needs to change, the policy that reflects different activisms.这些都无助于真正需要改变的政策,
878Yes, it may bring politicians out to respond in light of what is happening at that current point of time,是的,这可能会让政治家们根据当前时刻发生的情况作出反应,
879but it is not productive in the long term.但从长远来看,它没有成效。
880And even though this is not a social media debate,尽管这不是社交媒体的辩论
881youth activism is either downplayed or exacerbated by the use of social media.使用社交媒体,
882It is the largest spatial network for young people today.它是目前年轻人最大的空间网络。
883It is where most of our generation give or receive news.这是我们这一代人大部分人提供或接收新闻的地方。
884It is very influential in changing the opinions of its users,在改变用户观点方面,
885but it does not necessarily translate into long-term political change.但它不一定转化为长期的政治变革。
886And that's what makes it performative.而令其演义.
887Ladies and gentlemen, Madam President and her esteemed officers,女士们,先生们,主席女士和她尊敬的官员们,
888the opposition has asked you tonight to confuse visibility with effectiveness.反对派要求你今晚 把能见度和效果混为一谈
889But awareness alone is not political transformation.但是,光是认识不是政治变革。
890A movement being viral does not necessarily mean it will be structurally successful.病毒运动并不一定意味着它在结构上是成功的。
891It is not that young people are attention seekers.并不是青年人是寻求关注的人。
892Young people, including myself, care deeply about our futures.年轻人,包括我本人,都深深地关心我们的未来.
893Youth activism, like I have said earlier multiple times, is an honorable thing to do.正如我先前多次说过的,青年活动是一件光荣的事。
894It highlights that we too have a say in what our government implements into our system, our policy, our law.它突出表明,我们也有发言权,我们政府将哪些内容纳入我们的制度、政策和法律。
895We are a generation that is desperate to change the world for the better,我们这一代人渴望让世界变得更好,
896and we utilize and take advantage of the platforms we've been given.我们利用和利用 我们得到的平台。
897But in the age of algorithms, youth activism has only become content,但是在算法时代, 青年运动只是变得满足,
898and content must first perform.内容必须首先实现。
899It must become trendy.它必须成为潮流。
900And that is why this House believes that youth activism is primarily performative.因此,本院认为,青年积极性主要是表现性的。
901Thank you, Sarah, for that speech.谢谢你,莎拉,谢谢你的演讲。

918back in 1960, was that they were performative.1960年,他们表现得非常出色

9241960, especially you, Mr. Kerchick.1960年,特别是你,柯奇克先生
925They use the same mischaracterizations that have been used against every youth-led movement他们对每个青年运动都使用同样的错误定性
926in modern history, and as this history shows us, they remain dead wrong.在现代历史中,正如历史向我们表明的,他们仍然是死错。
927The reality is that modern youth activism is not so different from the activism of the现实是,现代青年运动与青年运动没有太大的不同。
928past.过去
929Now, I've been an influencer for over five years now, and I've seen everything under现在,我是一个影响者 超过五年了,我看到了一切在

945I don't have to invent some flowery, artsy definition that encompasses all forms of activism,我不必发明一些花朵般,艺术性的定义 包括各种形式的活动,
946like my proposition opponents have to today.就像今天我的提议对手一样
947The motion that we got gives us one, and the explainer, it asks us whether young activists我们得到的动议 给我们一个, 和解释者, 它问我们是否年轻的活动家
948are truly reshaping the political landscape or merely striving to be seen as doing so.正在真正地改变政治格局,或只是努力被视为这样做。
949Performative activism, by the motion's own terms, is visibility with no substantive work根据动议本身的规定,表现性积极性是没有实质性工作的能见度

964Or how about an analogy that's more tailored to the topic at hand?或者一个比较适合当前话题的类比如何?

974dishonest contributor.不诚实的贡献者。
975You judge them by what they built.你用他们建造的东西来判断他们
976So what has modern youth activism built?那么,现代青年运动建设的是什么?

1034I now call upon the fourth speaker on side, Proposition, Aruj Shandamuri, Jr. appointed.我现在请第四位同时发言的代表小阿鲁伊·尚达穆里先生发言。
1035Madam President, members of the Chamber, I want to begin by conceding something to the opposition.主席女士,安理厅成员,我想首先向反对派承认一些事情。
1036Youth activism can change the world.青年运动可以改变世界。
1037It has changed the world.它改变了世界。
1038Some of those who have changed it are sitting on the benches opposite.某些改变过的人坐在对面的凳子上。
1039And to them, I would like to give them a warm round of applause.我要给他们热烈掌声
1040I do not propose, though, that I want to waste this Chamber's time disputing that.但我不建议我浪费本会议厅的时间来反驳这一点。
1041What I do propose is this, that those cases are atypical.我的建议是,这些案例是非典型的。
1042The question before this House is not whether meaningful youth activism exists, it is whether摆在本议院面前的问题是,是否存在着有意义的青年活动,是否
1043it is what primarily exists.这是主要存在。
1044And the answer, uncomfortable though it may seem, is no.答案是否定的,尽管看起来不舒服。
1045While the speaker before me tried to cherry pick certain cases, what primarily exists在我之前的演讲者试图选择某些案例时,
1046is a performance of engagement, rapid, visible, and largely without consequence.是一种迅速、可见和基本上没有后果的接触表现。
1047Let us begin with the environment that shapes all activism today.让我们从今天形成所有行动的环境开始。
1048Movements do not arise in a vacuum.运动不是在真空中产生的。
1049They follow the logic of whatever system incentivizes them.它们遵循任何系统激励它们的逻辑.
1050And the system that now dominates political engagement is one that is designed at the而现在主导政治参与的体系 是设计于
1051level of its architecture, not incidentally, to reward visibility above all else.其建筑水平,并非偶然地,奖励知名度高于所有其他。
1052Attention is the currency, reaches the metric, emotional immediacy is what gets you paid.注意是货币,达到度量, 情感的刻不容缓 是得到你支付。
1053In such a system, the incentive is not to be effective, the incentive is to be seen.在这种制度中,奖励是无效的,奖励是可见的。
1054What succeeds is not careful analysis, nor long-term organization, nor the cultivation成功的不是仔细分析,也不是长期组织,也不是种植
1055of institutional relationships that produce policy.产生政策的体制关系。

1058These are not accidents of the medium.这些不是媒介的意外。
1059These are the medium's intended output.这些是介质的预期输出.
1060The result is activism that resembles content, and which behaves like it.结果是行动主义 类似内容, 和行为类似。
1061Courses rise in days, they trend, they generate extraordinary volumes of engagement, and then课程日复一日地上升,呈现趋势,产生非凡的参与量,然后
1062they're replaced, not by resolution, but by the next course, following the same curve.它们被取代,不是通过分辨率,而是通过下一条路线,遵循同样的曲线.
1063The lifespan of digital activism is measured in news cycles.数字主义的寿命用新闻周期来衡量。
1064The lifespan of political change is measured in decades.政治变革的寿命用几十年来衡量。
1065This is not, however, simply a critique of social media.这不仅仅是对社会媒体的批评。
1066The same logic infects offline activism too.同样的逻辑也影响线下活动。
1067The march, the die-in, the one-day strike, they're not chosen because they're the most游行,临终,一日罢课,不获选,因为他们是最伟大的
1068effective route to reform, but because they're the most legible.有效的改革路线, 但因为它们是最清晰的。
1069They produce images, they generate coverage, and then they end, because the logic that它们产生图像,产生覆盖,然后结束,因为逻辑是
1070produced them rewards the spectacle, not what comes after.创造他们奖励的,不是后来的。
1071This matters because it shapes not what is communicated, but what is done.这很重要,因为它塑造的不是所传达的,而是所作所为。
1072Consider the typical act of political engagement available to a young person today.想想今天年轻人可以利用的典型的政治参与行为。
1073It is not canvassing.它不是画画。
1074It is not sustained contact with elected representatives.它没有与当选代表保持持续的联系。
1075It is not the painstaking work of coalition building.这不是建立联盟的艰苦工作。
1076It is a repost, a petition signed in 30 seconds and forgotten in 40.30秒后签署请愿书,40年被遗忘。
1077A survey found that 76% of adults believe social activism makes people think that they're一项调查发现,76%的成年人认为社会行动主义使人们认为他们是
1078making a difference when they're really not.当他们真的不是时 就会有所改变
1079The public, it turns out, has noticed what we are being asked to deny.公众注意到了我们被要求否认的事情。
1080These acts are immediate, they're costless, and they're socially rewarded in precisely这些行为是立即发生的,是毫无代价的,而且社会上也给予奖励
1081the way that the harder work of politics is not.政治的艰难工作并非如此。
1082And they produce, not reform, but the sensation of having something done about reform.它们产生,而不是改革, 而是对改革有所作为的感觉。
1083A movement in which the most common contribution is frictionless will inevitably be dominated一个最常见的贡献是无摩擦的运动将不可避免地被支配
1084by signal rather than substance.以信号而不是实质。
1085The path of least resistance leads, almost by definition, to expression rather than impact.阻力最小的路径,几乎从定义上来说,会导致表达而不是影响.
1086When participation demands nothing, performance becomes enough.当参与不需要什么时,表现就足够了。
1087And the stakes of this are not abstract.这一点的利害关系并不是抽象的。
1088The problems that young people most loudly perform concern about, climate, inequality,青年人最关心的问题,气候、不平等、
1089democratic erosion, are precisely the problems that require the kind of sustained, unglamorous民主受到侵蚀,恰恰是需要持续、不光彩的问题。
1090institutional engagement that performative activism displaces.机构性参与,表现积极性,取代了机构性参与。
1091There's a bitter irony in a generation that cares more visibly about the future than any在一代人中 有一种痛苦的讽刺 更关心未来
1092before it, and is arguably less equipped to change it.在它之前,并且可以说没有那么有能力改变它。
1093Not because they lacked conviction, not at all, but because the culture has taught them不是因为他们缺乏信念 也不是因为文化教育他们
1094that conviction, expressed loudly enough, is sufficient.足够大声地表达的信念就足够了。
1095The opposition has pointed to individuals who have produced genuine change.反对派指出,一些个人产生了真正的变革。
1096As I said earlier, I commend some of them.正如我早些时候所说的那样,我赞扬其中一些建议。
1097Some are perhaps in this very chamber, like I said.正如我所说,也许有些人就在这个会议厅里。
1098And they will be right.他们会说的对
1099They are right.他们说得对。
1100But observe what is true of every such case.但观察一切此类情况的真实性。
1101They succeed precisely where activism has moved beyond expression into institutions,行动主义已经超越了表达方式,
1102into sustained legal and political engagement, into the unglamorous infrastructure* 持续参与法律和政治,参与不光彩的基础设施
1103of organized reform.组织改革。
1104If youth activism were not primarily performative, we would not find it remarkable如果青年运动不是主要表现的 我们不会发现它很了不起
1105when it produces real change all of a sudden.当它突然产生真正的变化。
1106These examples do not refute our case, they illustrate it.这些例子并不反驳我们的情况,而是说明了这一点。
1107The opposition has told us that even symbolic activism raises awareness,反对派告诉我们,即使是象征性的行动 提高人们的认识,
1108and that awareness is preferable to silence.认识是宁可沉默。
1109But better than nothing is a remarkably low ambition for something as serious但比什么都好,对于一个严肃的事物来说, 雄心是很低的
1110as political change.作为政治变革。
1111And there is a less comfortable point.还有一个不太舒服的问题。
1112If expressing concern online creates a subjective feeling of having acted,如果在网上表达关切,就会产生一种主观的行为感,
1113evidence suggests it can reduce the likelihood of acting further.有证据表明,它可以减少进一步采取行动的可能性。
1114Awareness that substitutes for engagement is not neutral, it's actively obstructive.意识到替代接触不是中立的,是积极阻塞的.
1115Perhaps the most sophisticated rebuttal from the opposition is this.也许反对派最尖端的反驳就是这一点。
1116Even without immediate policy change, activism shifts culture.即使不立即改变政策,行动主义也会改变文化。
1117It moves the boundary of what is thinkable and sayable.它移动着可思考和可说的内容的界限。
1118There is genuine force and merit to this, but durable shifts in culture are reinforced这一点具有真正的力量和价值,但文化的持久转变得到加强。
1119through institutions, through education, through law and sustained public reasoning.通过机构,通过教育,通过法律和持续的公共推理.
1120When engagement is reactive, when it's brief and driven by the rhythms当约定是被动的, 当它简短的和驱动的节奏
1121of these platforms, it produces noise.这些平台, 它产生噪音。
1122It does not settle into change norms, it simply passes.它不会变成改变的规范,只是通过而已。
1123Now, I'm not here to apportion blame, nor am I here to point fingers at anybody.我不是来责备别人的 也不是来指责任何人的
1124This is also not a council of contempt for young people.这也不是一个蔑视年轻人的理事会。
1125It is a council of contempt for a political culture that has made performance它是一个蔑视政治文化的议会,
1126the path of least resistance, and then had the audacity to be disappointed抵抗最小的路,然后大胆地失望
1127when that is what it gets.当它得到了什么。
1128We are not arguing that young people do not care, they plainly do.我们并不认为年轻人不在乎,他们显然不在乎。
1129We are not arguing that no youth activism produces change, it plainly does.我们并不认为任何青年活动都会产生变化,
1130What we are arguing is that the dominant form shaped by the incentives of social我们所争论的是,由社会刺激形成的主导形式。
1131media rewarded by its architecture practiced by the overwhelming majority媒体受到绝大多数媒体的奖励
1132is performative.具有表演性。
1133It is optimized for expression, not for impact, and a culture that rewards它被优化的表达,而不是影响, 和奖励的文化

1135of institutional change will continue to produce exactly that.体制改革将继续产生这种结果。
1136Madam President, members of the House, I beg to propose.主席女士,各位议员,我恳请提议。

1139I now call upon the fourth speaker on side, opposition, Zander Moritz.我现在请反对的第四位发言者赞德·莫里茨发言。
1140This House believes that modern youth activism is primarily performative本院认为现代青年运动 主要是表演
1141because this House makes four mistakes.因为本院犯了四个错误。
1142This House believes that one, performance is performativity,本院认为,一, 表演是表演,
1143that two, intention is impact, that three, activism is organizing,二,意图是影响, 三,活动组织,
1144and that four, condition is character.第四,条件就是个性
1145This House is wrong, so let's break it down.此院错,故曰破.
1146Mistake one, performance is not performativity.错误的一, 性能不是表现。
1147Performance is public, visible community,表演是公开的,显眼的社区,
1148communication of an idea to an audience, like this.向观众传达一个想法,像这样。
1149Performative is a word to describe actions taken with the selfish intention表演是用来形容出于自私目的所采取的行动

1151Protests, petitions, posts, speeches, strikes, sit-ins,抗议、请愿、文章、演讲、罢工、静坐
1152these are all performances.这些都是表演。
1153That does not make the students of Greensboro, the suffragettes,这并不能使格林斯伯勒的学生, 选帝侯,
1154Malala Yousafzai, or the Memphis Annotation Workers performative.马拉拉·尤萨夫扎伊(Malala Yousafzai),或孟菲斯注解工人表演.
1155It makes them, amongst many amazing things, performers.这让他们,在很多惊人的事情中, 表演者。
1156So if performance alone does not prove performativity what does,所以,如果单凭表演不能证明 表现什么的,
1157the proposition would have to prove motive.该提议必须证明动机。
1158It would have to prove that these actions are being taken for appearance它必须证明这些行动是被公开的
1159rather than change.而不是改变。
1160And that brings us to mistake two, intention is not impact.这使我们犯了两个错误,意图不是影响。
1161You cannot assess performativity unless you are the one taking the action,你无法评估性能 除非是你采取行动
1162or you're a mind reader, or you're God.或者你读心术 或者你是上帝
1163You can, however, assess impact, which I think makes for a far more然而,你可以评估影响,我认为这更有助于
1164interesting debate, so let's have it.有趣的辩论,让我们有它。
1165Is youth activism effective?青年活动是否有效?
1166Yes, but not if you expect it to produce the result of organizing,是的,但如果你期望它产生 组织的结果,
