Abstract

This essay attempts to think anticolonialism as theory. It does so by first embracing the role of metaphor in the contemporary discourse on decolonization. Then, turning to Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, it models a way of re-reading the promise of anticolonial freedom attuned to the alternative conceptions of decolonization that persist in the wake of past struggles. Reading with Fanon and, subsequently, with Achille Mbembe in his revision of the former’s political vision, the essay traces the temporalities that converge under the sign of decolonization in search of what hidden potentials remain at hand.

这篇文章试图从理论上思考反殖民主义。它首先接受隐喻在当代非殖民化话语中的作用。然后，转向弗朗茨·法农的《悲惨的地球》，它模仿了一种重新解读反殖民主义自由的承诺的方式，这种承诺与过去斗争中持续存在的非殖民化的另一种概念相协调。这篇文章与法农一起阅读，随后又与阿基利·姆本贝一起阅读他对前者政治愿景的修正，追溯了在非殖民化标志下聚集的短暂性，以寻找仍在手边的隐藏潜力。
