Abstract
Since the late 1970s, postcolonial theorizing and decolonizing activisms have directed attention to a taken-for-granted Eurocentrism in Marx/ism. Since the early 2000s, the explosion in available texts, published in original languages and in English translation, has enabled these critiques to develop. Scholars of Marx and activists within Marxism have sometimes responded defensively with apologetics. In this article we analyze an exemplar of this dogmatic and moralizing genre, showing how it deploys three tropes that commonly structure intellectual biography and scholarly commentary. These three story-telling devices are: projection, passivity, and hermeticism. Shifting gear, and proceeding from an agent-oriented reading strategy, we then offer an alternative theoretical practice. In our recovering, re-thinking, and rereading of the relatively neglected and undervalued Part VIII of Capital, Vol. 1, we argue that Marx/ism represents an important ally and inspiration for decolonizers. That demonstration resets the terms through which Eurocentrism supposedly makes sense.
演講提綱
自1970年代末以來，後殖民理論與去殖民行動主義已將注意力指向馬克思／主義中被視為理所當然的歐洲中心主義。自2000年代初起，隨著原文與英文譯本的大量出版與流通，這些批判得以進一步深化。馬克思研究者以及馬克思主義的行動者，有時則以辯護的方式回應上述批判。在本文中，我們分析了此類教條化且道德化論述的案例，說明其如何運用三種常見於思想傳記與學術評論的敘事模式，這三種敘事裝置分別是投射、被動性與封閉性。進一步而言，我們轉換視角，採取以行動者為導向的閱讀策略，提出另一種理論實踐的可能。經由對《資本論》第一卷中相對被忽視且低估的第八部分的重新發掘、思考與閱讀，我們主張馬克思／主義其實可以成為去殖民思想的重要盟友與靈感來源。這一論證也重新啟導我們如何理解所謂歐洲中心主義。
