Abstract This paper provides a reading, through a decolonial lens, of the debut work of two recently published South African poets, Sindiswa Busuku-Mathese and Koleka Putuma. In the work of both poets, the reader encounters contemporary South African black womxn subjects, constructed in the matrix of global coloniality. The works articulate issues of identity and belonging, with which many young South Africans are undoubtedly grappling. Both poets identify, interrogate, and resist what might be termed the realms of coloniality—namely coloniality of power, coloniality of knowledge, and coloniality of being—in a process of “unlearning”. A close reading of the themes and aesthetics of these two poets suggests that the site of enunciation for the speaking subjects that emerge is located at the fault lines between two or more very divergent knowledge frameworks.

Koleka Putuma和Sindiswa Busuku-Mathese诗歌中的知识与学习

摘要 本文从非殖民主义的角度解读了两位最近出版的南非诗人辛迪斯瓦·布苏库-马瑟斯和科莱卡·普图马的处女作。在两位诗人的作品中,读者遇到了在全球殖民矩阵中构建的当代南非黑人女性主题。这些作品阐明了身份和归属的问题,这无疑是许多南非年轻人正在努力解决的问题。两位诗人都在“忘却”的过程中识别、质疑和抵制可能被称为殖民主义的领域——即权力的殖民性、知识的殖民性和存在的殖民性。
