In this essay, I question the philosophical appropriation of the “street”; much recent critical theory fixes on the “events” of the street as portending ruptural becomings—into being—of the new in the world. I argue that such readings of the “extraordinary” are founded upon a heroic ontologic–epistemology of “abandonment–resurrection” that defines colonial–modern Eurocentric philosophy. Against this preoccupation with the extraordinary, I present a view that reads in the events of the street the ordinariness of the perceived extraordinary and the extraordinariness of the (often invisible) ordinary decoloniality of the everyday as the site of already being otherwise.

关于“（超）平凡”的一些思考

在这篇文章中，我质疑“街道”的哲学挪用；最近的许多批判理论都将街道上的“事件”定为预示着世界上新事物的破裂生成。我认为，这种对“非凡”的解读是建立在定义殖民现代欧洲中心主义哲学的英雄本体论——“放弃——复活”的认识论之上的。反对这种对非凡的关注，我提出了一种观点，即在街道事件中读到了被感知的非凡的平凡和日常（通常是无形的）普通非殖民化作为已经存在的场所的非凡。
