In this article, I offer a critical historical analysis of modernity, identifying tensions between logics of modernity that rely on premises of colonial and capitalist modernity as a universalizing project, and those that instead propose an alternative decolonial project. As part of the latter, I outline the contours of an emergent and distinct political project premised on deep relational ontologies between humans, and humans and nature. I develop the analysis in three interrelated parts. I begin by critically reconstructing the justifications for the universal project of colonial and capitalist modernity and the “method of rule” through which it has been realized. In part two, drawing on case examples primarily from Latin America, I identify and discuss the opening toward an alternative political project of negotiating between worlds with the potential to challenge fundamentally the logics of universal modernity. In part three, I conclude with some critical insights into the colonial logics of modernity, emphasizing that they have always been contested. I argue that, given the inequalities and crises of modernity, there is an urgent need to reflect critically on the concrete possibilities afforded through an alternative political project, at the core of which are struggles for social justice without nature–culture distinctions. Ultimately, this project fractures the international and, instead, aspires toward the pluriverse. In a beautiful essay entitled “Our Sea of Islands,” Hau‘ofa (1994, 152) stated that “there is a world of difference between viewing the Pacific as ‘islands in a far sea’ and as a ‘sea of islands.’” The first perspective denotes “dry surfaces in a vast ocean” that are “far from the centers of power.” The second “is a more holistic perspective in which things are seen in the totality of their relationships” (Hau‘ofa 1994, 153). The first perspective, explains Hau‘ofa, was introduced by Europeans, and, …

争论国际的殖民逻辑：建立多元文化的关系政治

在本文中，我提供了对现代性的批判性历史分析，确定了依赖殖民和资本主义现代性前提作为普遍化项目的现代性逻辑与提出替代性非殖民化项目的现代性逻辑之间的张力。作为后者的一部分，我概述了一个以人与人与自然之间的深层关系本体为基础的新兴而独特的政治项目的轮廓。我将分析分为三个相互关联的部分。首先，我从批判性地重建殖民主义和资本主义现代性的普遍计划的理由以及实现该计划的“统治方法”。在第二部分中，借鉴了主要来自拉丁美洲的案例，我确定并讨论了朝着在世界之间进行谈判的另一种政治项目开放的可能性，该项目有可能从根本上挑战普遍性现代性的逻辑。在第三部分中，我以对现代殖民主义逻辑的一些批判性见解作为结束语，强调它们一直遭到争论。我认为，鉴于现代性的不平等和危机，迫切需要批判性地思考通过替代性政治项目提供的具体可能性，其核心是没有自然与文化差异的争取社会正义的斗争。最终，该项目打破了国际社会，反而向着多元化的方向发展。Hau'ofa（1994年，在一篇名为《我们的岛屿之海》的精美文章中，152）指出：“将太平洋视为'远海岛屿'和'岛屿海'之间存在一个天壤之别。”第一种观点表示“广阔海洋中的干燥表面”与“远离权力的中心。” 第二个是“从整体角度看待事物的整体关系”（Hau'ofa 1994，153）。Hau'ofa解释说，第一种观点是由欧洲人介绍的，并且…
