摘要

This dissertation examines labor relations during the construction of the Yunnan-Vietnam railway at the turn of the twentieth century. It situates the suffering and resistance of the Yunnan railway workers in a larger context of twentieth-century French colonialism and capitalist development in China. Unlike previous studies on Chinese labor history that focused exclusively on class formation and consciousness, this thesis suggests that in response to the problem of labor shortages caused by mass worker desertions and the malarial climate of southern Yunnan, French officials and the railway company developed a biopolitical scheme to strengthen their hold on the labor force. This biopolitical scheme included implementing a strict work discipline under the surveillance of foreign and native railway guards, introducing modern notions of crime and punishment through consular tribunals and French-built prisons, and establishing modern medical facilities. In analyzing how the railway workers reacted to these operations, the thesis argues that even before the introduction of class into the Chinese periphery as a political category, the spontaneous activities of the railway workers, which centered on protecting their lives and bodies from the deadly operations of capitalist development, created a politically consequential impact on French colonial governmentality. In conjunction with an analysis of Chinese nationalist texts from the early twentieth century, the study also suggests that, while Chinese anti-dynastic nationalists abstractly defined the workers as the basis of Chinese national sovereignty, they never recognized the day-to-day struggles of the workers as a proper form of politics. As a result, the political nature of the everyday resistance of the Yunnan railway workers has remained undertheorized both during the Republican revolution in 1911 and in subsequent nationalist historiography.
