Abstract

In this article, I re-evaluate critiques of Levinas’s Eurocentrism by exploring his openness to decolonial theory. First, I survey Levinas’s conceptual confrontation with imperialism, showing that his early Eurocentric work (1930s‐1960s) is revised in his later writing (1970s‐1980s). Second, I explore the contextual reasons that led him to take that path, such as his previously overlooked conversations with the liberationist South American intellectual Enrique Dussel. Finally, I present the case for a revisitation of the current theoretical frameworks of Jewish thought. I explain how Levinas’s encounter with Third World discourses helps to add a needed decolonial layer to contemporary Jewish intercultural conversations.
伊曼纽尔·列维纳斯的地缘政治:被忽视的犹太和第三世界非殖民主义之间的对话
在这篇文章中,我通过探索列维纳斯对非殖民化理论的开放性来重新评价对他的欧洲中心主义的批评。首先,我考察了列维纳斯与帝国主义的概念对抗,表明他早期的欧洲中心主义作品(20世纪30年代至60年代)在他后来的作品(20世纪70年代至80年代)中进行了修订。其次,我探讨了导致他走上这条道路的背景原因,比如他之前被忽视的与南美解放主义知识分子恩里克·杜塞尔(Enrique Dussel)的对话。最后,我提出了重新审视当前犹太思想理论框架的案例。我解释了列维纳斯与第三世界话语的相遇如何有助于为当代犹太文化间的对话增加一个必要的非殖民化层面。
