Abstract This essay examines the cultural politics of migrant caravans through video testimonies produced by Honduras’s Association of Returned Migrants with Disabilities (AMIREDIS). While the stated aim of the 2015 association-sponsored Caravan of the Mutilated involved raising transnational public awareness of the plight of Central American migrants, this essay argues that AMIREDIS’s testimonies and embodiments conjoin the savage risk confronting migrants with histories of imperialist expropriation and transnational financial processes in which migrants find themselves increasingly incorporated. In effect, their testimonies and embodiments invert the reparative logic of worker remittances—cash transfers often thought to be the objective of migration. Against the cruel economies of risk that decapacitated AMIREDIS members as laborers, their testimonies offer an internationalism of the vulnerable. This ethic of mutual vulnerability works against financial markets’ “pooled risks” and capitalism’s predilections to explain away its crippling eventualities with terms like “negative externalities” or “spillover effects.”

“你的生命有百分之一百的危险”：残缺者的大篷车和弱势群体的国际主义

摘要 本文通过洪都拉斯残疾归国移民协会 (AMIREDIS) 制作的视频证词考察移民大篷车的文化政治。虽然 2015 年协会赞助的残废大篷车的既定目标涉及提高跨国公众对中美洲移民困境的认识，但本文认为，AMIREDIS 的证词和体现将移民面临的野蛮风险与帝国主义征用和跨国金融过程的历史结合起来移民发现自己越来越多地融入其中。实际上，他们的证词和体现颠倒了工人汇款的补偿逻辑——现金转移通常被认为是移民的目标。面对使 AMIREDIS 成员丧失劳动能力的残酷风险经济，他们的证词提供了弱势群体的国际主义。这种相互脆弱性的伦理反对金融市场的“集中风险”和资本主义的偏好，以用“负外部性”或“溢出效应”等术语来解释其严重的可能性。
