ABSTRACT This article discusses death, mourning and decolonisation, focusing on the Selk’nam of Karokynka/Tierra del Fuego, Chile. Methodologically, it is grounded in feminist experiments of bringing creative and personalised writing into an academic scholarship to challenge subject/object-relations, and to generate platforms for affective, world-making intra-actions and undoings of power. Through collaborative efforts of three differently situated co-authors, using poetic epistolary forms of address, the article unfolds an indigenous centred, feminist, decolonial methodology. Along similar lines, the theoretical approach to death and mourning is pluriversal, transgressing Western epistemologies and ontologies. Through letters, addressed to dead and alive, human and non-human key actors in a revitalising of Selk’nam culture, the article questions ethico-politically in/appropriate ways of mourning the consequences of the necropolitics imposed on the Selk’nam through white colonisation, Western modernity and its colonial matrix of necropower. It is critically addressed how mourning the lost became embedded in colonial discourses of white melancholia and humanism. Moreover combining creative writing methodologies, inspired by feminism, posthumanism, and by indigenous activism and practices of reviving Selk’nam culture, the authors use their different locations to search affirmatively for ways of mourning, which open horizons towards decolonising, cultural revitalising, reclaiming of indigenous rights and philosophies of death and mourning.

非殖民化哀悼：与 Karokynka/Tierra del Fuego 的 Selk'nam 人一起创造世界

摘要 本文讨论死亡、哀悼和非殖民化，重点关注智利 Karokynka/火地岛的 Selk'nam。在方法论上，它以女权主义实验为基础，将创造性和个性化的写作带入学术奖学金，以挑战主体/客体关系，并为情感、创造世界的内部行动和权力的消除创造平台。通过三位不同处境的合著者的合作努力，使用诗意的书信形式的称呼，这篇文章展现了一种以本土为中心的、女权主义的、非殖民主义的方法论。同样，死亡和哀悼的理论方法是多元的，超越了西方的认识论和本体论。通过写给死者和生者、人类和非人类关键行动者的信件，振兴 Selk'nam 文化，这篇文章从伦理政治方面质疑了哀悼通过白人殖民、西方现代性及其亡灵权力殖民矩阵强加给 Selk'nam 的亡灵政治后果的哀悼方式。对逝者的哀悼如何嵌入到白人忧郁症和人文主义的殖民话语中，得到了批判性的解决。此外，结合受女权主义、后人文主义以及本土激进主义和复兴 Selk'nam 文化的启发的创造性写作方法，作者利用他们不同的地点积极寻找哀悼方式，为去殖民化、文化振兴、回收土著权利以及死亡和哀悼的哲学。
