Abstract

This article argues that the Creole is, at once, both a technological construct of the plantation economies of the colonized Atlantic world and a moment of interpretation, constantly negotiating time, place, and interpellations. By placing the Creole identity firmly without the borders of either racial or biological classification, this position works toward an understanding of the new social constructions afforded by the new world of online spaces. Centring the Caribbean as the engine of modernity – the New World – and referencing the role it has played in what we have come to know as cultural studies through the work of Stuart Hall, I argue that the new world of online spaces is analogous to the region in this moment – a thirdspace of limitless possibilities – and offer the logic of the digital Creole as a means of unravelling what it means to exist in a digital world.

数字克里奥尔语

本文认为，克里奥尔语既是被殖民的大西洋世界种植园经济的技术建构，也是一个不断协商时间、地点和质询的解释时刻。通过将克里奥尔人的身份牢牢地置于种族或生物分类的边界之外，这一立场有助于理解网络空间的新世界所提供的新的社会结构。以加勒比海为中心，将其作为现代性的引擎——新世界——并通过斯图尔特·霍尔的工作，参考它在我们所知的文化研究中所扮演的角色，我认为，在线空间的新世界与当前的地区类似——一个无限可能性的第三空间——并提供了数字克里奥尔语的逻辑，作为解开存在于数字世界中意味着什么的一种手段。

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.
