摘要
在我之前的一代学术界,早期现代研究虽然主要基于全球北方,但却成为了从更广泛的联系中产生的两个关键知识链的奠基工作的受益者。首先,在前现代批判性种族研究方面有着丰富的学术成果,金·霍尔、伊恩·史密斯、玛戈·亨德里克斯和阿亚娜·汤普森等人利用了美国但跨大西洋运动的跨部门黑人研究的巨大智力能量。其次,还有跨越全球的、全球性的、后殖民研究的影响——埃尔德雷德·琼斯、伊姆蒂亚兹·哈比卜、阿尼娅·隆巴、Jyotsna Singh和普南·特里维迪等人,不同地使用了斯图尔特·霍尔、爱德华·赛义德、弗兰茨·法农、C.L.R.James、加亚特里·查克拉沃蒂·斯皮瓦克和霍米·巴巴等知识分子的作品。早期现代研究作为一个领域的活力对其在21世纪的持续存在和吸引力,甚至是紧迫性的贡献有多大,怎么强调都不为过。如果没有20世纪末批判性种族和后殖民研究的这些基础,今天的早期现代研究将是一个远比现在更为狭隘的领域,甚至更多地投资于白人至上主义者对孤立卓越的幻想。可以说,没有一个新的和产生性的研究方向,如生态批判早期现代化、跨国早期现代化、边境和移民研究、全球表现研究、食品研究、批判书籍史、芝加哥研究、达利特莎士比亚、土著研究和批判残疾研究,会在这里找到成长和建设的基础。(例如,见Ashley Sarpong、Lubaaba Al Azami、Noémie Ndiaye、Ruben Espinosa、Alexa Alice Joubin、Amrita Sen、Jennifer Park、Brandi K.Adams、Laura Lehua Yim、Vijetha Kumar、Justin Shaw等学者在这些新兴研究领域的新工作。)然而,英美轴心的学术工作面临的挑战之一——这个轴心仍然是我所在领域最强大的轴心——是对殖民主义和资本主义相互交织的遗产的广泛讨论的抵制,这些遗产仍然塑造着我们的世界。拥有深厚殖民遗产的联合王国是如此渴望
The Invention of Race and the Postcolonial Renaissance
An academic generation before mine, early modern studies, although primarily based in the global north, became the beneficiary of ground-making work along two key intellectual strands emerging from wider connections. First, there was the rich scholarship in premodern critical race studies, with Kim Hall, Ian Smith, Margo Hendricks, and Ayanna Thompson, among others, using the towering intellectual energies of US-based but transatlantic-movement-informed intersectional Black studies. Second, therewas the influence of globe-spanning, globequestioning, postcolonial studies—with Eldred Jones, Imtiaz Habib, Ania Loomba, Jyotsna Singh, and Poonam Trivedi, among others, variously using the works of such intellects as Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, C. L. R. James, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Homi Bhabha. It is impossible to overstate how deeply this energization of early modern studies as a field has contributed to its continued presence and appeal, even urgency, in the twenty-first century. Without these late-twentieth-century foundations in critical race and postcolonial studies, early modern studies today would have been a far more provincial field than it is, and even more invested in white supremacist fantasies of insular excellence. And arguably, none of the new and generative directions of study, such as of eco-critical early modernisms, transnational early modernisms, borderland and migration studies, global performance studies, food studies, critical book history, Chicanx studies, Dalit Shakespeares, Indigenous studies, and critical disability studies would have found a substrate here on which to grow and build. (See, for instance, new and emerging work by scholars such as Ashley Sarpong, Lubaaba Al-Azami, Noémie Ndiaye, Ruben Espinosa, Alexa Alice Joubin, Amrita Sen, Jennifer Park, Brandi K. Adams, Laura Lehua Yim, Vijetha Kumar, Justin Shaw, and others operating in these emerging streams of study.) However, one of the challenges of scholarly work along the UK-US-axis—and this axis remains the most powerful in my field—is the resistance to widespread discussions of the interlocked legacies of colonialism and capitalism that still shape our world.
