具体描述
本书从界线、批判、抵抗这三条交互缠绕的向度去贯穿哈洛威和史碧华克的思想,分别就知识的基础、伦理的可能以及行动的方向,去釐清共同生活的多重意义。
导论勾勒了本书的问题意识与具体计划。第二章检视两位学者的批判意象,每一个批判意象都同时是行动的意向,涉及了界线协商、冲突、呈现与体现的多重权力斗争。第三章和第四章分别深入检视两位思想家的批判方法论,及其深层的世界图像与行动意义。第五章结论则指出,在两位思想家看似各有领域的思考轴线中,可以找到共通的实践取向分别展现在她们差异的发言位置。
这个共同基础是蕴藏在她们批判方法论中的对于强权与现状的抵抗。这样的抵抗表现在很多层面,其中必然也涉及对界线的重新思考、跨越与打造,此为两位思想家共同指出的当代伦理责任。同时,她们之间的差异所在依然重要,尤其是各自迥异的发言位置所揭示的故事、隐喻和矛盾。此外,在所有的阅读计画中,我们都必须去寻找并建构自己赖以生存、思考与行动的语言。
身为后殖民的赛伯格,岛屿破碎的主体性需要不断的跨越与重构。
英文简介:
This book discusses Donna Haraway’s and Gayatri Spivak’s theories from three interweaving dimensions of boundary, critique and resistance, and explores the meaning of living together in terms of the basis of knowledges, the possibility of ethics and the future of actions.
The introduction provides an outline of the book as a whole. The second chapter examines the critical images in Haraway’s and Spivak’s works. These images imply particular intentions of action and the relevant power struggles about boundary negotiations, conflicts, representations and embodiments. Chapter 3 and 4 investigate respectively Haraway’s and Spivak’s methodologies of critique, and the underlying world images and their agential significance. The conclusion chapter points out that these two thinkers share some common orientations based respectively on their different positions of enunciation.
Their common ground is the resistance to strong powers. The resistance is multifarious and inherent in their methodologies of critique, and involves rethinking, and reconstitution of boundaries. Their works point to the same ethical responsibility we face in the contemporary global world. However, their differences are as important as their common goals. Each in her own particular existential position of enunciation reveals unique stories, metaphors and contradictions. Meanwhile, we have to construct our own discourses in every reading project. It is only through these discourses we can begin to understand our own worldly existence, and to think and act for ourselves.
