This essay examines Italian philosopher Adriana Cavarero's ontology of uniqueness through a reading of Alex Haley's novel Roots, and the recent television adaptation of that book If Cavarero has insisted throughout her work that we need to challenge the philosophical privileging of abstract universality and focus instead on the irreducibility of embodied singularity, and if such a move in her work has always relied on a feminist analysis of the role women play in such a drama, I argue that attention to issues of race and the institution of slavery both supports and complicates her analysis in meaningful ways

奴隶制之后的奇点：阿德里亚娜·卡瓦雷罗（Adriana Cavarero）的独特性本体和亚历克斯·海利（Alex Haley）的根源

本文通过阅读亚历克斯·海利（Alex Haley）的小说《根》（Roots）以及意大利最近电视改编的电影，探讨了意大利哲学家阿德里亚娜·卡瓦列罗（Adriana Cavarero）的独特性，如果卡瓦列罗在她的整个著作中都坚持认为我们需要挑战抽象普遍性的哲学特权，而应专注于的奇异性的不可还原性，如果她的作品中的这种举动始终依赖于对女性在这种戏剧中扮演的角色的女权主义分析，我认为对种族问题和奴隶制的关注既支持又使她的分析复杂化有意义的方式
