In Thailand, the volatile period from 2019 to 2023 was marked by changing material and political atmospheres. Air pollution, the COVID‐19 pandemic, and government restrictions on speech transformed how Thai citizens breathed and how they related to the monarchy. Understanding this period as a history of breath reconceptualizes the citizen‐body as volumetric, recasting politics as an intermaterial practice. Breath, its vibrations, and its constraints, as it moves across the topologies of the respiratory system, generate densely material, richly symbolic political relations that bind citizens to one another, to the polity, and to the world. Small particles, dust, viruses, speech restrictions, and tear gas constrained the breath of Thai citizens while shaping the conditions in which dissenting vibrations could shake the country's cosmologies. Attention to the citizen‐body as volumetric thus recasts the lungs as relational chambers of political capacity, resituating political analysis within the material world and suggesting that all politics are, in some sense, environmental.

 容量公民身份


在泰国，2019 年至 2023 年的动荡时期的特点是物质和政治气氛的变化。空气污染、新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 大流行以及政府对言论的限制改变了泰国公民的呼吸方式以及他们与君主制的关系。将这一时期理解为呼吸的历史，将公民身体重新概念化为体积，将政治重塑为一种跨物质的实践。呼吸、它的振动和它的约束，当它穿过呼吸系统的拓扑结构时，产生了密集的物质、丰富的象征性的政治关系，将公民彼此、与政体和世界联系在一起。小颗粒、灰尘、病毒、言论限制和催泪瓦斯限制了泰国公民的呼吸，同时塑造了异议振动可能动摇该国宇宙论的条件。因此，对公民身体体积的关注将肺重新塑造为政治能力的关系室，在物质世界中重新定位政治分析，并表明所有政治在某种意义上都是环境性的。
