摘要
通过amaqaba nama gqobhoka的两个概念,我概述了“本体论嘲笑”。我认为本体论嘲笑植根于导致种族间冲突的黑人内部冲突,并提出本体论承认是解决南非政治格局中存在的紧张局势的一种方法。为了达到Mahmood Mamdani(2021)等学者提出的后殖民条件,需要承认殖民强加之前南非存在的生活模式是合法的,值得参与公共领域的形成。我认为,承认这一本体论将为南非包容性民族认同的真正形成提供信息。这样的提议植根于威廉·惠灵顿·Gqoba的思想,他认为两种文化相互理解得越多,它们之间的紧张关系就越小。
Working through the two concepts of amaqaba nama gqobhoka, I outline ‘ontological derision’. I argue that ontological derision is rooted in intra-Black conflict that leads to interracial conflict, and propose ontological recognition as a resolution to the tensions that exist in the South African political landscape. To reach the postcolonial condition advanced by scholars like Mahmood Mamdani (2021), the modes of life that existed in South Africa prior to colonial imposition need to be recognised as legitimate and worthy of participation in the formation of the public sphere. I argue that recognising this ontology will inform the genuine formation of an inclusive national identity in South Africa. Such a proposal is rooted in the thinking of William Wellington Gqoba, who suggests that the more the two cultures understand each other, the less tensions will exist between them.
