Abstract

This article responds to Srinivas Aravamudan's call to revisit the notion of the trace from the standpoint of the Anthropocene. A Derridean understanding of the trace shows how postcolonial difference challenges the humanist distinction between human and nature by questioning the distinction between life and death that is central to metaphysics. This discussion thus reframes the prospect of extinction signaled by the Anthropocene by means of a return to a Marxist, feminist, psychoanalytic and deconstructive trajectory within postcolonial thought.

后殖民遗迹：从人类世的角度重新审视痕迹

本文回应了Srinivas Aravamudan的呼吁，从人类世的角度重新审视痕迹的概念。德里德对痕迹的理解表明，后殖民差异是如何通过质疑形而上学的核心生与死的区别来挑战人与自然之间的人文主义区别的。因此，这场讨论通过回归后殖民思想中的马克思主义、女权主义、精神分析和解构轨迹，重新定义了人类世所预示的灭绝前景。
