ABSTRACT

In her timely and important contribution (‘Theorising Russian Postcolonial Studies’, Postcolonial Studies 22(4), 2019), Tamar Koplatadze identifies a number of blind spots of postcolonial scholarship focused on the post-Soviet space. This comment explores some of the implications of Koplatadze’s critique of such concepts as subaltern empire and internal colonisation to highlight the importance of applying the master–slave opposition in a dialectical manner. Turning to Frantz Fanon’s interpretation of racial difference, I emphasise how in his thinking about anti-colonial struggle, a radical affirmation of blackness dialectically transforms into a universalist emancipatory platform. An engagement with Fanon suggests that the border between the subaltern and oppressors must always be situated in the local context as well as in the global hierarchical order, in which the low-level agents of empire are often also exploited and disenfranchised. It is wrong to link the subaltern position with any particular identity, since any particularity can be imposed on other particularities, thus becoming oppressive. Against this background, defining Russia as a subaltern empire is a way of grasping the dialectic of multi-layered global hegemony; it must be read as a call for solidarity among subaltern groups rather than as an attempt to exonerate the Russian state.

后苏联的世袭与种族的辩证法:对塔玛·科普拉达泽的文章的反思

抽象的

在她的及时而重要的贡献(《俄罗斯后殖民研究理论》,《后殖民研究》22(4),2019),塔玛·科普拉达兹(Tamar Koplatadze)指出了后苏联学术领域的许多盲点,这些盲点集中在后苏联时代。这篇评论探讨了科普拉达泽对次要帝国和内部殖民等概念的批判的某些含义,以强调以辩证方式运用主从反对派的重要性。在谈到弗朗兹·法农对种族差异的解释时,我强调在他关于反殖民斗争的思考中,对黑人的一种激进肯定将辩证地转变为一个普遍主义的解放平台。与Fanon的交往表明,副武装和压迫者之间的边界必须始终位于当地环境以及全球等级制度中,在这种情况下,帝国的低层特工也经常被剥夺和剥夺权利。将次要位置与任何特定身份相关联是错误的,因为任何特殊性都可以强加于其他特殊性,从而变得压迫。在这种背景下,将俄罗斯定义为次要帝国是一种把握多层全球霸权的辩证法的方式。必须将其理解为在各派别集团之间进行团结的呼吁,而不是试图使俄罗斯国家免责。
