Although Latin American decolonial thinking has always maintained an interest in taking the theories and practices of the communities of Latin America’s colonized peoples seriously, the theorization of communality and communal systems has been a new focus of the last two decades. That is, the academic decolonial dedication to diversity and difference has recently been imagined as a pluriverse of communal systems. As such, this decolonial group of thinkers has been effectively demanding that the radical theories of communality produced by Indigenous communities of the Global South be taken seriously as real and viable alternatives to capitalism and representative democracy. Nevertheless, a critical engagement with Latin American decoloniality reveals a serious oversight in communal-oriented decoloniality: it fails to engage in a serious manner the millions throughout the world who are not or are perceived as not part of any community or are exiled from their community. To demonstrate this threat within the communal-oriented vision, one can look to another (de)colonial context ubiquitously overlooked in Latin American decolonial thought: Ireland. More precisely, as a reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses reveals, the communal-oriented Irish anti-colonialism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries contained a common mode of modern anti-Semitism: Jews belong to no community and uproot and hollow out the life of any community they encounter. This article argues that although the pluriversal vision of communal-oriented decoloniality is explicitly opposed to the denigration, dismissal, or rejection of any community, it can still be characterized by this other mode of othering: the denigration, villainization, and oppression of persons who are perceived as embodiments of anti-communality.

种族主义,社区主义和反犹太主义

尽管拉丁美洲的殖民主义思想一直对认真对待拉丁美洲殖民地人民的社区的理论和实践产生兴趣,但社区和社区系统的理论化已成为近二十年来的新焦点。就是说,学术上对多样性和差异的殖民主义奉献精神最近被认为是多种公共系统。因此,这个殖民主义思想家群体一直在有效地要求将全球南方土著社区产生的激进的社区理论作为资本主义和代议制民主的现实可行的替代方案予以认真对待。但是,与拉丁美洲的殖民主义的关键接触揭示了对面向社区的殖民主义的严重监督:它没有认真地与世界各地数以百万计的人互动,这些人不属于或被视为不属于任何社区,或者被其社区驱逐出境。为了在面向社区的愿景中证明这一威胁,可以看看拉丁美洲的殖民主义思想中普遍忽视的另一种(非殖民主义)语境:爱尔兰。更准确地说,正如对詹姆斯·乔伊斯(James Joyce)的《尤利西斯》(Ulysses)的解读所揭示的那样,在19世纪末至20世纪初,以社区为导向的爱尔兰反殖民主义包含了一种现代的反犹太主义模式:犹太人不属于任何社区,无家可归,使生活陷于空洞他们遇到的任何社区。本文认为,尽管以社区为中心的殖民主义的多面性观点明确反对任何社区的den毁,解雇或拒绝,
