Abstract

Given demands in South Africa ‘to decolonise’, I argue that to decolonise is more complex and challenging than currently constitutes the discourse of decolonisation, either in South Africa or the globe. Focusing on the Humanities, more specifically on literature – with reference to Ngũgĩ’s ‘Nairobi Literature Debate’ of the late 1960s – I frame discussion ‘in-between’ two significant gatherings, Bandung (1955) and the 10th BRICS Summit (2018), the former identified by Robert JC Young and Walter Mignolo as a marker in both postcolonial and decolonial ‘theory’; the latter, in a shift between an earlier ideology-speak and the trade-investment speak of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. What might be the consequence of such an in-between space for research, teaching and curriculum design?

“去殖民化”:人文学科何去何从?

考虑到南非“去殖民化”的要求，我认为，无论是在南非还是在全球，去殖民化都比目前构成非殖民化话语的更为复杂和具有挑战性。关注人文学科，更具体地说，关注文学——参考Ngũgĩ上世纪60年代末的“内罗毕文学辩论”——我将两次重要会议——万隆会议(1955年)和第十届金砖国家峰会(2018年)——之间的讨论框架化，前者被罗伯特·JC·杨和沃尔特·米尼奥洛认定为后殖民和非殖民“理论”的标志;后者是从早期的意识形态言论到第四次工业革命的贸易投资言论之间的转变。这种介于研究、教学和课程设计之间的空间可能会带来什么后果?
