ABSTRACT

In discussing both decolonial and posthuman conceptual frameworks, the article advocates for putting the ‘human’ back into the humanities. However, most work on decoloniality refuses engagement with the posthuman and the Anthropocene. Similarly, posthumanism barely acknowledges the parallel work in decolonial literature. The posthuman turn is inadequate without acknowledging decolonial literature and decolonial literature is encouraged to expand its analysis into the Anthropocene. This article makes a case for drawing the two terms together. COVID19 produced various categories of ‘missing people’ more vulnerable and economically affected by the lockdown than others. This articles argue against a reactive re-composition of unitary humanity posited as being a ‘together threatened and endangered species’ resulting in a panhuman bond of vulnerability’. Indeed, we are in this together- but we are not one and the same. What is notable from the data is that everyone was affected by COVID19 but not equally so. It is difficult to separate the missing people between those at a biological risk and those at an economic impact because they often were intertwined. The article conceptualises the notion of ‘missing people’ in cultural studies that acknowledges both the decolonial turn and the posthuman turn. The study is delimited to the 21 days of lockdown Level 5 (2020), South Africa. The nation-wide lockdown was enacted in terms of the Disaster Management Act from midnight on Thursday 26 March until midnight on Thursday 16 April (2020), wherein all South Africans had to stay at home.

COVID19,“我们在一起还是我们”在南非后人类中寻找失踪人员的非殖民主义危机

摘要

在讨论去殖民主义和后人类的概念框架时,文章主张将“人类”重新纳入人文学科。然而,大多数关于非殖民性的工作都拒绝与后人类和人类世接触。同样,后人文主义几乎不承认去殖民文学中的平行工作。如果不承认非殖民文学,后人类转向是不够的,鼓励非殖民文学将其分析扩展到人类世。本文提出了将这两个术语放在一起的案例。与其他人相比,COVID19 产生了各种类型的“失踪人员”,他们更容易受到封锁的影响,经济上也受到影响。本文反对对单一人类进行反应性重组,将其假定为“共同受威胁和濒临灭绝的物种”,从而导致泛人类的脆弱性纽带。的确,我们在一起——但我们不是一回事。从数据中值得注意的是,每个人都受到了 COVID19 的影响,但并非同样如此。很难将处于生物风险和经济影响的失踪人员区分开来,因为他们经常交织在一起。这篇文章将文化研究中的“失踪人员”概念概念化,承认去殖民化转向和后人类转向。该研究仅限于南非 5 级(2020 年)的 21 天封锁。从 3 月 26 日星期四午夜到 4 月 16 日星期四(2020 年)午夜,根据《灾难管理法》颁布了全国范围的封锁措施,所有南非人都必须待在家里。从数据中值得注意的是,每个人都受到了 COVID19 的影响,但并非同样如此。很难将处于生物风险和经济影响的失踪人员区分开来,因为他们经常交织在一起。这篇文章将文化研究中的“失踪人员”概念概念化,承认去殖民化转向和后人类转向。该研究仅限于南非 5 级(2020 年)的 21 天封锁。从 3 月 26 日星期四午夜到 4 月 16 日星期四(2020 年)午夜,根据《灾难管理法》颁布了全国范围的封锁措施,所有南非人都必须待在家里。从数据中值得注意的是,每个人都受到了 COVID19 的影响,但并非同样如此。很难将处于生物风险和经济影响的失踪人员区分开来,因为他们经常交织在一起。这篇文章将文化研究中的“失踪人员”概念概念化,承认去殖民化转向和后人类转向。该研究仅限于南非 5 级(2020 年)的 21 天封锁。从 3 月 26 日星期四午夜到 4 月 16 日星期四(2020 年)午夜,根据《灾难管理法》颁布了全国范围的封锁措施,所有南非人都必须待在家里。这篇文章将文化研究中的“失踪人员”概念概念化,承认去殖民化转向和后人类转向。该研究仅限于南非 5 级(2020 年)的 21 天封锁。从 3 月 26 日星期四午夜到 4 月 16 日星期四(2020 年)午夜,根据《灾难管理法》颁布了全国范围的封锁措施,所有南非人都必须待在家里。这篇文章将文化研究中的“失踪人员”概念概念化,承认去殖民化转向和后人类转向。该研究仅限于南非 5 级(2020 年)的 21 天封锁。从 3 月 26 日星期四午夜到 4 月 16 日星期四(2020 年)午夜,根据《灾难管理法》颁布了全国范围的封锁措施,所有南非人都必须待在家里。
