Abstract

Abstract:This article offers a decolonial methodology that questions the universality tied to the concept of gender. While not questioning that the modern/colonial capitalist gender system is an oppressive, variable, systemic organization of power, it argues that it is not universal; that is, that not all peoples organize their relations in terms of and on the grounds of gender. Its aim is to offer a decolonial methodology to both study colonized people who live at the colonial difference, but also to engage in decolonial coalition. To see the colonial difference is to see coloniality/modernity as the place the colonized inhabit and the situation of oppression from which the colonized create meanings that are not assimilated.

殖民方法论中的性别与普遍性

摘要:本文提供了一种非殖民化的方法论，质疑与性别概念相关的普遍性。虽然没有质疑现代/殖民资本主义性别制度是一种压迫性的、可变的、系统性的权力组织，但它认为它不是普遍的;也就是说，并不是所有的民族都根据或基于性别来组织他们的关系。它的目的是提供一种非殖民化的方法，既研究生活在殖民地差异中的殖民地人民，又参与非殖民化联盟。看到殖民差异就是看到殖民/现代性作为被殖民者居住的地方和压迫的情况，被殖民者从中创造了未被同化的意义。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
