Abstract

Abstract Decolonial, postcolonial, and postmodern criticism is indebted to Frantz Fanon for revealing the hegemony of vision and visual language in Western imperial discourse. Yet, the import of Fanon's critique of coloniality reaches beyond a focus on vision into the sonorous. Attending to the often overlooked auditory dimension of Fanon's work, I argue, brings attention to the role of listening as a condition of possibility of a revolutionary consciousness. Listening to Fanon's careful descriptions of the experience of many Algerians of listening to the National Liberation Front's radio broadcast, The Voice of Free and Fighting Algeria in “This is the Voice of Algeria,” I propose that what makes possible the institution of a revolutionary consciousness is listening to murmurs . Listening to the materiality of voice and sound rather than the propositional content of speech is revolutionary because it challenges core values central to the project of colonial modernity: metaphysical logocentrism and the fungibility to which colonial modernity strives to reduce colonized subjects.
法农的革命低语:走向倾听的批判现象学
弗朗茨·法农揭示了视觉和视觉语言在西方帝国话语中的霸权地位,这是他对去殖民、后殖民和后现代批评的贡献。然而,法农对殖民主义的批判的重要性超越了对视觉的关注,进入了一种铿锵的声音。我认为,关注法农作品中经常被忽视的听觉维度,让人们注意到倾听作为革命意识可能性的条件所起的作用。法农在“这是阿尔及利亚之声”一文中,仔细描述许多阿尔及利亚人聆听民族解放阵线电台广播“自由与战斗阿尔及利亚之声”的经验,我认为,革命意识的建立可能是聆听低语。倾听声音和声音的物质性而不是话语的命题性内容是革命性的,因为它挑战了殖民现代性项目的核心价值:形而上学的逻各斯中心主义和殖民地现代性努力减少被殖民主体的可替代性。

期刊介绍: The Southern Journal of Philosophy has long provided a forum for the expression of philosophical ideas and welcome articles written from all philosophical perspectives, including both the analytic and continental traditions, as well as the history of philosophy. This commitment to philosophical pluralism is reflected in the long list of notable figures whose work has appeared in the journal, including Hans-Georg Gadamer, Hubert Dreyfus, George Santayana, Wilfrid Sellars, and Richard Sorabji.
