This publication is a synopsis-translation of the first chapter from the book by James Scott “The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia” (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2009), which came out in the “Yale Agrarian Studies” series. It continues the line of argument started by Scott in his work “Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed”: the central task of the state is to control the territories and the citizens, this is why the mobile, self-governing communities are opposed to the very idea of national unity. Scott suggests that we take a different look at the conventional history of mankind (focusing exclusively on national institutes in all possible formats), taking the example of South-East Asia and drawing numerous historical and regional analogies.

Данная публикация представляет собой сокращенный перевод (2) первой главы книги Джеймса Скотта «The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia» — «Искусство неуправляемой жизни: анархистская история высокогорий Юго-Восточной Азии» (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2009), вышедшей в серии «Yale Agrarian Studies». Она продолжает линию рассуждений, начатую Скоттом в работе «Благими намерениями государства: почему и как проваливались проекты улучшения условий человеческой жизни»: центральная задача государства — контроль территорий и граждан, поэтому мобильные, самоуправляемые сообщества претят идее государственного строительства. Скотт предлагает иначе взглянуть на привычную нам историю человечества (фокусирующуюся исключительно на государственных институциях во всевозможных форматах), взяв в качестве примера Юго-Восточную Азию и проводя массу исторических и страновых аналогий.
