摘要

Jana Gohrisch和Ellen Grunkemeier(编)跨学科的后殖民研究,ASNEL论文18 (Cross /Cultures 170) (Rodopi, 2013)Cross/Cultures 170提供后/殖民文学和英语文化的阅读;然而,《跨学科后殖民研究》的编辑们在书的精彩介绍中解释说,英语新文学研究协会(ASNEL)起源于德语国家。尽管文化差异是明确的框架-地缘政治确实很重要-后殖民研究领域被认为是一个全球性和跨学科的研究领域。ASNEL论文18的编辑认为,后殖民运动在各种学科和制度化的部门中无处不在,通常与语言学、文学和文化研究相一致——只是文学、历史和文化中广泛的批评方法中的另一种框架工具。然而,在这个领域进行研究有一个隐含的警告。学术参与往往被压抑或边缘化,直到硕士专业化,往往被赋予了负面的光环,因为其挑战性的性质。后殖民研究关注的是“种族主义、殖民主义、东方主义和欧洲中心主义”等复杂问题中批判性意识的提升,同时也关注种族、民族、性别、阶级和性的咒语不可避免地,在探索殖民主义的底层——主人/奴隶关系、边缘化、包容/排斥、团结和社会正义问题时,后殖民学者被解构和修正主义话语(包括对根深蒂固的西方知识生产模式的批评)所吸引。而变革——尤其是权力和特权的转移,伴随着主体性叙事的权力下放——往往受到那些与维持现状有个人利害关系的当局的抵制。然而,后殖民学者相信变态的可能性。态度、意图和生活系统可能会对另类做出反应——在另一个人身上完全陌生/熟悉的东西——以及对交流的需要。这里的建议是,在他们工作的空间里,利他主义和现实政治必须在实际应用中加以校准,当代问题必须通过与不可抗拒的他者接近和对话的敏感、开放的思想来过滤。ASNEL论文18是2011年6月举行的第22届年会的产物,这是一个合作项目,主要吸引了大西洋周围的社区-美洲,非洲,英语和法语加勒比海地区和欧洲-以及那些对专业领域的比较反思感兴趣的研究人员,尽管他们的家乡或环境之间存在空间距离。该出版物真实地反映了学术界当前的神经末梢;例如,编辑们注意到,在20世纪70年代社会学转向之后,英国文化研究的主导学派倾向于排除文学,因为它更倾向于流行文化形式。这次会议的召集人认为,他们的项目提供了一种替代方案,以纠正过去的遗漏,重点主要是,尽管不完全是文学语境。考虑到这些驱动因素,这里的文章是根据区域、主题和方法的考虑来安排的。在Jana Gohrisch和Ellen Grunkemeier的介绍之后,有四个部分对整个企业进行了清晰,翔实和有说服力的概述。“跨学科反思”包含六篇文章,重点关注邻近学科:历史、纺织、艺术、语言学、音乐和文化研究。我特别着迷于Johannes Ismaiel-Wendt对流行音乐的分析,将其作为当代背景下移民和学术研究的近期文化经验的范例。…

Postcolonial Studies across the Disciplines
Jana Gohrisch and Ellen Grunkemeier (eds) Postcolonial Studies Across the Disciplines, ASNEL Papers 18 (Cross /Cultures 170) (Rodopi, 2013)Cross/Cultures 170 provides readings in Post/Colonial Literatures and Cultures in English; however, the editors of Postcolonial Studies Across the Disciplines explain in their excellent introduction to the book that the Association for the Study of the New Literatures in English (ASNEL) originates in German-speaking countries. Notwithstanding that the cultural distinction is clearly framed - geopolitics do matter - the domain of postcolonial studies is understood to be a global and interdisciplinary field of inquiry.The editors of ASNEL Papers 18 suggest that the postcolonial movement manifests ubiquitously within various academic disciplines and institutionalised departments and is often aligned with linguistics, literature and cultural studies - just another framing device in the vast range of critical approaches in literature, history and culture. However, there is an embedded caveat to study in the field. Scholarly engagement is often repressed or marginalised until Master's specialisation and often endowed with a negative aura within establishments because of its challenging nature. Postcolonial studies are concerned with critical consciousness-raising in complex matters 'of racism, colonialism, Orientalism and Eurocentrism while simultaneously engaging the mantra of race, nation, gender, class and sexuality'.1 Inevitably, in exploring the underbelly of colonialism - master/slave relationships, marginalisation, inclusions/exclusions, solidarity and social justice issues - postcolonial scholars are drawn towards deconstruction and revisionist discourses (including the criticism of entrenched Western-style models of knowledge production).
