新殖民主义语境下的民族主义研究

新殖民主义是殖民主义在新的历史时期的一种表现。它表面上承认原殖民地、附属国人民的独立权利,而实际上却采取种种欺骗手段,采取多种手段尤其是经济渗透和政治控制的手段,对已获得政治独立的国家实行控制和渗透。发达国家实施新殖民主义的场所主要集中在拉丁美洲和非洲。新殖民主义激起原殖民地人民的强烈反抗。他们打起民族主义的旗帜在政治、经济与文化领域里进行反对新殖民主义的斗争。这种基于民族主义的反抗取得了一定成就,但也存在着不可忽视的问题。     

经济全球化:理解与克服

经济全球化基于由亚当·斯密提出的自由主义经济动力学。按照马克思的意识形态 ,经济全球化就是资本主义全球化。我们需要理解经济全球化的整体性的运转模式 ,研究世界市场及其对全球化时代人类生活的影响。对现时代的物质条件的这些分析是克服经济全球化弊端的理论要求     

Migrant encounters with neo-colonial masculinity: producing European sovereignty through emotions

The EU/European political community’s reaction to irregular migrants is ambivalent. On the one hand, migrants are produced as people to be pitied, rescued, and saved. On the other hand, they are feared, despised, and left to die. The article explores this ambivalence from a gender perspective and asks how sovereign masculinities are produced through emotional performances in the politics of migration control and management. It will be argued that emotions such as fear, disgust, and compassion are performed in the biopolitical security governance of irregular migration by producing a “socially abject” life as its object. This is a life that is to be killed, despised, and saved. Encounters between the irregular migrant and a European border security actor constitute a neo-colonial masculinity. During the moment of the encounter with the other’s life, sovereignty is produced through emotional performances of border security actors. The discussion concludes with illustrations of how racialized bodies and lives are produced as objects of fear, disgust, and compassion through European neo-colonial masculinity. The article speaks to the debates in the literature on masculinities in global politics, emotions and politics, and critical border studies.     

Rehumanising the university for an alternative future: decolonisation,alternative epistemologies and cognitive justice

ABSTRACT

Reflecting on the shifting landscape of higher education, this discussion highlights how inequality is entrenched within the university, largely as a result of Western-inspired, commodified knowledge production processes. The article grapples with scholarship on cognitive justice and builds a case for transformative resistance that is simultaneously anti-colonial and anti-neoliberal, within, against and beyond the Westernised university. The discussion concentrates specifically on epistemic hegemonies and internationalisation, and argues that substantive decolonisation as a counterhegemonic project must entail an intellectual element that is aimed at transforming the knowledge structures that facilitate dehumanisation. The pursuit of more equitable, anti-racist futures must thus involve the identification and obliteration of deeply embedded epistemic hegemonies, which have been created through the dehumanising processes of capital expansion and colonisation. This article offers a hopeful approach that encourages the collaborative creation of a counter-university that actively pursues epistemic diversity as a pathway to alternative futures.
