Abstract

ABSTRACT Understanding the emotional landscapes of communities and individuals outside of the metropole requires a close analysis of context-specificities and an appreciation of place-based, local knowledges. In this article, I employ a decolonising approach to expose racism and whiteness through centring the emotional experiences of an Asian migrant queer woman academic residing and working in a white, Anglo-Celtic Australian society. Using autoethnographic data derived from lived experiences, I reveal my encounters with two main forms of racism at the workplace: 1. casual, everyday racism; 2. and institutional, systemic racism. Drawing from a particular strand of feminist perspective that I have earlier developed, fire dragon feminism, the article explores the navigation of emotions in the face of racism and discusses the exercise of two particular fire dragon feminist superpowers of feminist rage and queer pessimism while inhabiting in the negative. The article ends on a resistance note on fire dragon feminist hopes for a reimagined future.

在种族主义现场导航情感:女权主义的愤怒，酷儿悲观主义和火龙女权主义

摘要了解大都市以外的社区和个人的情感景观需要仔细分析背景特征，并欣赏基于地方的当地知识。在这篇文章中，我采用了一种非殖民化的方法，通过集中一位亚洲移民酷儿女性学者的情感经历来揭露种族主义和白人，她居住和工作在一个白人、英国-凯尔特人-澳大利亚社会中。利用从生活经历中获得的民族志数据，我揭示了我在工作场所遇到的两种主要形式的种族主义：1。随意的、日常的种族主义；2.制度性、系统性种族主义。本文从我早期发展起来的一种特殊的女权主义视角——火龙女权主义出发，探讨了面对种族主义时情绪的导航，并讨论了在消极环境中女性主义愤怒和酷儿悲观这两种特殊的火龙女权超能力的行使。这篇文章的结尾是一篇关于火龙女权主义者对重塑未来的希望的抵抗文章。
