This paper is a methodological response to the challenge of decolonizing geographical knowledge. It mobilizes post‐ and de‐colonial critiques of geographical knowledge production and conceptual work, suggesting how such work unwittingly disfigures the precise contours of the places and socio‐spatial formations on which geographers work, drawing them into implicit and reductive forms of comparison. Drawing on research and sources from South Asia, the paper moves instead toward more uncertain engagements with, and dispositions to, the production of geographical knowledge; ones attuned to the poetics of planetary difference. The paper speculates on five intellectual and methodological resources, or tactics, aimed toward producing geographical scholarship attuned to the tableaux of heterogeneous and incomparable singularities at large across the world: theory and reading; friction and fragments; translation/untranslatability; abiding by; and poetics.

奇点。无与伦比的地域宣言

本文是对地理知识非殖民化挑战的方法论回应。它动员了对地理知识生产和概念工作的后和去殖民主义批评，表明这些工作如何在不知不觉中破坏了地理学家工作的地方和社会空间结构的精确轮廓，将它们引入隐含和还原的比较形式。借鉴南亚的研究和资料，本文转向对地理知识生产的更多不确定性参与和处置；那些适应行星差异的诗意。本文推测了五种智力和方法论资源或策略，旨在产生与世界各地异质和无与伦比的奇点相协调的地理学术：理论和阅读；摩擦和碎片；翻译/不可翻译性；遵守；和诗学。
