在世界范围内,作为政治形式的殖民主义虽早已终结,但殖民性仍然是主导当下世界秩序的最重要形式。在这一图景之中,作为曾经区分殖民者和被殖民者重要范畴的种族概念,现在依然是支撑着世界权力欧洲化这一进程的隐性逻辑,同时还极大地影响着当今世界体系之中的劳动分工。正是由于殖民性的运作,欧洲现在摇身一变成为现代性/理性的化身,而现代性/理性则被建构为一种普世性的知识范式。在由此推论出的线性历史观之中,具有理性的欧洲可以指导和主宰全世界的前进方向,而其自身则应是世界上其他一切社会和文化未来效仿的对象。这一幻想仍然对很多人具有吸引力,而要从中跳脱,就必须将知识生产从欧洲现代性/理性的桎梏之中解放出来,通过去殖民化来实现认识论的重构。
Although colonialism as a political form has long ended in the world, colonialism remains the most important form of domination of the present world order. In this picture, the notion of racialism, which used to distinguish important categories of settlers and settlers, is still a hidden logic that supports the Europeanization of world power and at the same time greatly influences the current world system The division of labor. It is precisely because of the colonial operation that Europe is now transformed into an incarnation of modernity / rationality, while modernity / rationality is constructed as a universal paradigm of knowledge. From the linear historical conception thus deduced, a rational Europe can guide and dominate the world’s progress and itself should be the object of all other social and cultural future attempts in the world. This illusion still appeals to many people. To escape from it, it is necessary to liberate knowledge production from European modernity / rationality and to realize the reconstruction of epistemology through decolonization.
