Abstract

This is a continuation of the first text I wrote for the ‘What Is Cultural Studies?’ series, defending the importance of theories and voices from the margins, from the oppressed. Now, I introduce four concepts created or adapted by intellectuals who – because of their displacement, double vision or contextual disadvantage – can propose theoretical tools and lenses to look at the world, useful for understanding social and cultural dynamics, both locally and globally. I argue that the intellectual production from the global South is deeply entangled with the global North, be it because we adopted (or were forced to use) Western knowledge bases, be it because the unequal and strong relation between the regions enabled the material and symbolic exploitation of some and the wealth of others. The concepts of Améfrica Ladina, double bind/knot, pact of whiteness and impedance are key to reflect upon otherness, communication, media, and cultural studies.
从南方思考的四个概念
这是我为 "什么是文化研究?"系列撰写的第一篇文章的续篇,这篇文章捍卫了来自边缘和被压迫者的理论和声音的重要性。现在,我将介绍由知识分子创造或改编的四个概念,这些知识分子因其流离失所、双重视野或背景劣势,可以提出观察世界的理论工具和视角,有助于理解本地和全球的社会和文化动态。我认为,全球南方的知识生产与全球北方有着千丝万缕的联系,这可能是因为我们采用(或被迫使用)了西方的知识基础,也可能是因为地区之间的不平等和紧密关系使得一些人受到了物质和象征性的剥削,而另一些人则获得了财富。Améfrica Ladina、双重束缚/绳结、白人契约和阻碍等概念是反思他者、传播、媒体和文化研究的关键。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
