Abstract Calls for the decolonisation of higher education in South Africa have been punctuated by comments on black pain. This is not surprising if it is acknowledged that violence inordinately marks so much of South African life. What is rarely discussed though is the idea that pain has also come to be fetishised. Pain, for example, is valued as a pedagogical means. While invoking notions of the decolonisation of education that cohere with humanisation, the authors critically reflect on the ways in which pain remains a dehumanising feature of higher education in South Africa. In doing so, they hope to start a discussion around issues seldom addressed more than in deeply felt sentiments that are rarely clarified and defined in terms of their importance for the transformation and decolonisation of higher education.

一分耕耘一分收获？南非非殖民化与高等教育的思考

摘要关于黑人痛苦的评论打断了南非高等教育非殖民化的呼吁。如果人们承认暴力无端地标志着南非的大部分生活，那就不足为奇了。尽管很少讨论的是疼痛也已被迷恋的想法。例如，疼痛被认为是一种教学手段。在援引与人性化相结合的教育非殖民化概念时，作者批判性地思考了痛苦仍然是南非高等教育的非人性化特征的方式。他们希望这样做，围绕着很少解决的问题展开讨论，而这些问题很少能在人们对于高等教育的转型和非殖民化的重要性方面得到澄清和界定。
