Dissolving Master Narratives: Decolonial Reconstellations, Volume Two de Laura Doyle

Dissolving Master Narratives: Decolonial Reconstellations, Volume Two: Worlding Beyond the West

Editat de Laura Doyle, Simon Gikandi, Mwangi wa Gĩthĩnji
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 apr 2025

Evoluția studiilor decoloniale în ultimele decenii a marcat o tranziție necesară de la critica teoretică a imperialismului la o reconstrucție aplicată a cunoașterii globale. Găsim în acest al doilea volum al trilogiei Decolonial Reconstellations, intitulat Dissolving Master Narratives, o materializare a acestui progres. Lucrarea, publicată sub egida Routledge, face parte din seria Worlding Beyond the West și propune o metodologie bazată pe „reconstelații”, ancorată în istorii de lungă durată care preced și depășesc modernitatea europeană.

Descoperim aici o structură riguroasă, organizată în nouă capitole ce traversează geografii și epoci diverse, oferind o perspectivă care lipsește adesea din manualele clasice de relații internaționale. De la analiza „vieții de apoi” a colonialismului în regiunea Maya, prezentată de Patricia A. McAnany, până la examinarea raționalismului islamic în context est-african de către Alamin Mazrui, volumul refuză generalizările facile. Comparabil cu Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place în rigurozitatea metodologică, acest volum este însă actualizat pentru a aborda specific modul în care narațiunile civilizaționale au fost construite și, ulterior, pot fi dizolvate pentru a face loc unor viziuni etice noi. Față de Globalization and the Decolonial Option de Walter D. Mignolo, care a pus bazele acestui colectiv de cercetare, lucrarea editată de Laura Doyle, Simon Gikandi și Mwangi wa Gĩthĩnji extinde analiza către temporalități multiple și subiectivități „nemoderne”.

Perspectiva adoptată integrează 30 de ilustrații, oferind un suport vizual esențial pentru a înțelege complexitatea legăturilor dintre loc, timp și putere. Putem afirma că forța acestui volum rezidă în capacitatea de a face vizibile moștenirile de „world-making” care au susținut comunitățile umane în afara paradigmelor hegemonice, oferind resurse vitale pentru cercetătorii din domeniile feminist, anti-rasist și critic.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm Dissolving Master Narratives cercetătorilor și studenților de la nivel licență sau masterat interesați de științe politice și sociologie. Cititorul câștigă un instrumentar critic pentru a deconstrui miturile modernității europene, beneficiind de o perspectivă interdisciplinară care îmbină istoria, literatura și teoria politică. Este un motiv concret de a explora cum reziliența și alianțele istorice pot redefini viitorul comunității planetare.

Despre autor

Laura Doyle este editorul acestui proiect academic ambițios, coordonând o serie care reconfigurează gândirea critică globală. Deși prezentă în peisajul editorial și cu lucrări precum The Empowered Wife sau Things Will Get as Good as You Can Stand, activitatea sa în cadrul seriei Worlding Beyond the West demonstrează o expertiză profundă în medierea dialogului academic transnațional. Alături de Simon Gikandi și Mwangi wa Gĩthĩnji, Doyle propune concepte inovatoare precum „deep place”, eliberate de paradigmele eurocentrice. Contribuția sa ca editor reflectă un angajament pentru decolonizarea cunoașterii și sprijinirea vocilor din afara canonului occidental tradițional.

Recenzii

"This triple-tier collection on decoloniality is most distinctive in the way it opens new pathways for understanding the complexly intertwined past and present histories of communities, which are often located outside a hegemonic European modernity, while simultaneously pointing to radically transformative future possibilities. Bringing together non-indigenous and indigenous histories, the core purpose of this well-conceived project is to retrieve deep-time and deep-place histories, demonstrating to us that there is no living history with a dead past. Its lasting value is the interdisciplinary approach, which invites readers to adopt a nuanced, pluriversal understanding of the planetary universe and of the many shifting streams and legacies of history that point toward reconstellations of a decolonial space. “Decoloniality,” the volumes argue, has to be both intersectional and global in reach, while remaining steeped in the values of conviviality and poetics of relationality -- if it is to uproot epistemological and material violence imposed by the tyranny of colonial modernity.  The volumes offer a rare multi-dimensional approach to decoloniality that opens up new avenues of exploration."
 - James Ogude is Professor and Senior Research Fellow, Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship, University of Pretoria. Ogude’s most recent edited volumes include, Ubuntu and the Reconstitution of Community and (with Tafadzwa Mushonga), Environmental Humanities of Extraction in Africa: Poetics and Politics of Exploitation (Routledge), and (with Neil Kortenaar) The Archives of African Literature, (forthcoming).
 "Decolonial Reconstellations magnificently launches “World Studies” as a sustained project of decentering of Western/modern and androcentric narratives of history, the economy, and "progress." It is based on the re-grounding insight that if there were, and are, multiple histories, there must also be multiple new beginnings for other world histories, and hence multiple possibles and futures emerging from the deep times and deep places existing, and at times even thriving, all over the world.  Taken together, these volumes provide a cogent introduction to World Studies as a genuine pluriversalization of world histories -- essential at this historical juncture of planetary crisis and urgent civilizational transitions.  This book will be of great interest to courses in history, anthropology, geography, political ecology and development, global, ethnic, and diverse area studies."
- Arturo Escobar, author of Pluriversal Politics (2020) and co-author of Relationality: An Emergent Politics of Life Beyond the Human (2024).

Descriere scurtă

Dissolving Master Narratives comprises one volume in an unprecedented three-volume set, collectively subtitled Decolonial Reconstellations. Together with Volume One (Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place) and Volume Three (Reconceiving Identities in Political Economy), it gathers thinkers from across world regions and disciplines who reconfigure critical global thought.
Collaboratively conceived, the volumes are founded on the observation that we cannot fully uproot the epistemological-material violence of coercive systems, nor fully (re)imagine more ethical visions of planetary community, without shared attention to the deeper histories of place and peoples that shape the present. Accordingly, the volumes gather social scientists and humanists, Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, and intersectional and materialist thinkers who reconceptualize longue-durée history and its afterlives. They engage in the dual project to dismantle eurocentric, colonial, androcentric frameworks and to make visible the legacies of care and creative world-making that have sustained human communities. Uncovering pasts that are as complex and dynamic as the present, the contributors brilliantly transform notions of temporality, relationality, polity, conjuncture, resistance, and experimentation within histories of struggle and alliance. They richly decolonize political imaginaries. The co-editors’ introductions articulate fresh frameworks of “deep place” and “deep time” freed from eurocentric modernity paradigms, indicating pathways toward decolonial collaboration and institutional change.
Decolonial Reconstellations offers invaluable resources for researchers and teachers in decolonial, postcolonial, anti-colonial, and Indigenous studies, and will also strongly appeal to feminist, anti-racist, Marxist, and critical theory scholars across disciplines.
