Abstract This article re-examines Third Worldism as a political ideology, with a specific focus on a number of Algerian intellectuals. By taking Algeria as a privileged locus of investigation, the discussion zooms into a specific context of Third Worldism, the Algerian War and the decade after, therefore focusing on the period between the 1950s and the 1970s. Here I understand Third Worldism to mean more than the instantiation of the postcolonial state through anticolonial liberation struggles. Rather, I take into consideration (Algerian) voices that push against the rigid boundaries of methodological nationalism and postcolonial theory. By embracing the ethos of ‘affirmative critique,’ the analysis aims to bring to light those ‘forgotten, hidden or invisible acts of critique’ that expose under-currents of Third Worldism not usually discussed or engaged. Thus, I engage writings of rarely considered Third World intellectuals, such as Kateb Yacine, Jean Amrouche, Jean Senac. These are all Algerian intellectuals; the reason behind this focus is the following: their involvement in Algeria’s decolonization struggles translated into translocal solidarity with other decolonization projects, whether in Vietnam or in Palestine. Aside from gesturing toward a translocal spatiality, their writings also embody a more genuine retrieval of dignity by the colonized, and an alternative memory of a different Algerian nation, intrinsically plural and hospitable to difference. Put differently, these voices both attempt a kind of diagnosis (however partial and incomplete) for the reductionism into which the Third World liberation state (inevitably) fell, while suggesting an alternative political horizon that comes closer to Fanon’s idea of ‘national consciousness’, especially in its attention to the ‘international dimension.’1

重新记住第三世界主义:对阿尔及利亚民族解放的肯定批判

摘要本文重新审视了第三世界主义作为一种政治意识形态,特别关注了许多阿尔及利亚知识分子。通过将阿尔及利亚作为特权调查地点,讨论扩大到第三世界主义,阿尔及利亚战争和之后十年的特定背景,因此重点讨论了1950到1970年代之间的时期。在这里,我理解第三世界主义不仅意味着通过反殖民主义解放斗争对后殖民国家的例示。相反,我考虑(阿尔及利亚)的声音,这些声音冲破了方法论民族主义和后殖民理论的僵化边界。通过接受“肯定批判”的精神,该分析旨在揭示那些“被遗忘,隐藏或看不见的批评行为,暴露了通常不讨论或参与的第三世界主义潜流。因此,我从事的是很少有人考虑的第三世界知识分子的著作,例如Kateb Yacine,Jean Amrouche和Jean Senac。这些都是阿尔及利亚的知识分子。引起这一关注的原因如下:他们参与阿尔及利亚的非殖民化斗争,这转化为与越南或巴勒斯坦其他非殖民化项目的跨地区团结。除了指望跨地方的空间感外,他们的著作还体现了殖民者对尊严的更真实的回想,以及另一种阿尔及利亚民族的替代性记忆,本质上是多元的并且热情好客。换句话说,
