Abstract
Following tropes of light and dark in Amanda Gorman’s poem ‘The Hill We Climb’, the article explores, from a feminist perspective, who counts as a truth-teller. Against the backdrop of Hannah Arendt’s and Michel Foucault’s works on truth-telling, the article theorizes feminist modes of truth-telling. It scrutinizes truth-making in politics while unearthing the andro-centrism in truth-telling. Under the impression of post-truth rhetoric in recent populist landscapes, the article argues for a feminist and intersectional articulation of truth-telling to disclose the gendered and racialized power relations in contemporary masculinist populism.
这篇文章跟随阿曼达·戈尔曼(Amanda Gorman)的诗《我们爬的山》(The Hill We Climb)中光明与黑暗的比喻,从女权主义的角度探讨了谁算一个讲真话的人。本文以汉娜·阿伦特和米歇尔·福柯关于讲真话的著作为背景,对女性主义讲真话的模式进行了理论化。它审视了政治中的“造真”,同时揭示了“说真话”中的男性中心主义。在最近民粹主义景观中的后真相修辞的印象下,本文主张以女性主义和交叉的方式表达真相,以揭示当代男性主义民粹主义中性别和种族化的权力关系。
期刊介绍:
In modern industrial society reason cannot be separated from practical life. At their interface a critical attitude is forged. Philosophy & Social Criticism wishes to foster this attitude through the publication of essays in philosophy and politics, philosophy and social theory, socio-economic thought, critique of science, theory and praxis. We provide a forum for open scholarly discussion of these issues from a critical-historical point of view. Philosophy & Social Criticism presents an international range of theory and critique, emphasizing the contribution of continental scholarship as it affects major contemporary debates.
