摘要
摘要:本文探讨了中世纪主义,特别是中世纪研究的学术形式,通过探索西方“文化档案”(Smith,《去殖民化方法论》)如何利用“中世纪”思想中的目的论时间性来合理化“白人占有逻辑”(Moreton Robinson,《白人占有逻辑》),可能有助于去殖民化。它探讨了法律、主流和学术背景下的中世纪主义,重点关注澳大利亚定居者殖民州的土著土地权利和法律。它审查了澳大利亚高等法院在1992年Mabo and Others v.Queensland(2)一案中的裁决,这是一个具有里程碑意义的案件,挑战了英国主权主张所依据的无主地法律原则,并对后Mabo时代的盎格鲁撒克逊和土著法律进行了比较。
A Decolonizing Medieval Studies? Temporality and Sovereignty
Abstract:This article considers how medievalism, particularly in its academic form of medieval studies, might contribute to decolonization through exploration of how the Western “cultural archive” (Smith, Decolonizing Methodologies) draws on the teleological temporality embedded in the idea of the “medieval” to rationalize “white possessive logics” (Moreton-Robinson, White Possessive). It explores medievalisms in legal, mainstream, and academic contexts that focus on Indigenous land rights and law in the Australian settler-colonial state. It examines the High Court of Australia’s ruling in Mabo and Others v. Queensland (2) (1992), a landmark case that challenged the legal doctrine of terra nullius, on which claims to British sovereignty were founded, and on comparisons of Anglo-Saxon and Indigenous law in the post-Mabo era.
