Abstract

The ongoing racialized violence against “Asian” communities—that was simultaneously illuminated and amplified during COVID-19—is not a geographically isolated phenomenon. Vis-a-vis the Atlanta Massacre of 2021 and other senseless attacks on “Asian” Americans stemming from white supremacist fears of the Yellow Peril, “Asian” Australians have likewise been, and continue to be, victims of everyday old and new racisms rooted in Orientalist discourses and concomitant fears of the invading Other. As microcosms of society, schools are germane for the analysis, confrontation, and transformation of such racialized injustices and so, as a means of intervening in these everyday inequities, this paper weaves an AsianCrit-informed autoethnography with palimpsestuous composite narratives drawn from semi-structured interviews in a broader project with other migrant “Asian” Australian teachers to chronicle personal and professional race-making practices in the face of racism before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, while also rethinking and re-stor(y)ing a–way toward more hopeful, inclusive futures in schools.

自民族志对后(?)大流行时代学校反“亚洲”种族主义的质疑:一份以亚洲文化为基础的综合重写本

针对“亚洲”社区的持续种族化暴力——在2019冠状病毒病期间同时被照亮和放大——并不是一个孤立的地理现象。面对2021年亚特兰大大屠杀和其他由于白人至上主义者对黄祸的恐惧而对“亚裔”美国人发动的毫无意义的袭击，“亚裔”澳大利亚人同样是，并将继续成为植根于东方主义话语和随之而来的对入侵他者的恐惧的新旧种族主义的受害者。作为社会的缩影，学校与这种种族化的不公正现象的分析、对抗和转变密切相关，因此，作为干预这些日常不平等的一种手段，本文通过与其他移民“亚洲”澳大利亚教师进行的一个更广泛的项目中的半结构化访谈中得出的重复复合叙事，编织了一本关于亚洲种族主义的自我民族志，记录了在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前和期间面对种族主义的个人和专业种族制造实践，同时也重新思考和重新记录了一条通往更有希望、更包容的学校未来的道路。

期刊介绍： The mandate for this interdisciplinary, international journal is to move methods talk in cultural studies to the forefront, into the regions of moral, ethical and political discourse. The commitment to imagine a more democratic society has been sa guiding feature of cultural studies from the very beginnnig. Contributors to this journal understand that the discourses of a critical, moral methodology are basic to any effort to re-engage the promise of the social sciences and the humanities for democracy in the 21st Century. We seek works that connect critical emanicipatory theories to new forms of social justice and democratic practice are encouraged.
