ABSTRACT

Energised by his concern with the place of poetry in and as philosophy, Césaire’s work is engaged in thinking knowledge, a praxis which becomes fundamental to his critique of the ideology of imperialism. The concern with poetry as magical thinking and the question of what it contributes to philosophy, and more particularly, to epistemology, takes on pressing importance in the light of colonialism, whose domination is predicated on the hegemonic disruption and erasure of indigenous knowledges. Through his radical re-evaluation of Western epistemology, Césaire shows that what is at stake in African/diasporic, and indeed planetary, futures, is a radical reframing of the category of philosophy and the possibility of an alternative relation to objects. The issue of coloniality’s imbrication in a Western ontology of objects takes on amplified importance in the light of current capitalist crises, including ecological collapse.

摘要

他的诗歌的地方关注通电中和作为哲学，塞萨尔（Césaire）的工作涉及思考知识，这一实践成为他对帝国主义意识形态的批判的基础。在殖民主义的背景下，对诗歌作为魔术思维及其对哲学（尤其是对认识论）有何贡献的问题变得尤为重要，而殖民主义的统治主要是对霸权主义的破坏和对本土知识的抹除。通过对西方认识论进行彻底的重新评估，塞萨尔表明，非洲/散居世界，乃至行星式未来所面临的风险，是对哲学范畴的彻底改造以及与对象的另类关系的可能性。鉴于当前的资本主义危机，西方物体本体论中的殖民化问题变得越来越重要，
