Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place: Decolonial Reconstellations, Volume One: Worlding Beyond the West

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

Recomandăm acest volum pentru nivelul de studiu masteral și doctoral, fiind o resursă esențială de referință profesională în domeniul relațiilor internaționale și al studiilor culturale. Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place reprezintă prima etapă a unui proiect editorial ambițios, Decolonial Reconstellations, care își propune să reconfigureze gândirea globală critică. Suntem de părere că forța acestui text rezidă în capacitatea de a demonta cadrele eurocentrice și androcentrice prin analiza istoriilor de lungă durată.

Cartea acoperă o arie tematică similară cu Decolonizing Western-Indigenous Dialogues, însă se distinge printr-o abordare mult mai ancorată în materialitatea istorică și în conceptul de „timp profund”. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe dialogul politic contemporan, acest volum coordonat de Laura Doyle, Simon Gikandi și Mwangi wa Gĩthĩnji investighează modul în care trecutul complex modelează prezentul. Structura este riguroasă: primele capitole analizează sărăcia persistentă în Anzii centrali și economiile cunoașterii în Nigerul inferior (1000-1400 d.Hr.), trecând apoi spre analiza budismului în sistemul mondial afro-eurasiatic și a moștenirilor lingvistice din Sahel.

Subliniem importanța integrării perspectivelor intersecționale și materialiste în discursul despre decolonizare. În contextul operei editorului principal, această lucrare marchează o tranziție către cercetarea academică de anvergură, diferită de temele abordate în The Empowered Wife. Prin cele 36 de ilustrații și analizele detaliate ale scrierilor indigene urbane, volumul reușește să facă vizibile legăturile de solidaritate și rezistență care au susținut comunitățile umane în afara modernității hegemonice europene.

De ce să citești această carte

Credem că această lucrare este indispensabilă cercetătorilor care doresc să depășească narativele istorice convenționale. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a modului în care structurile coloniale pot fi demontate prin recuperarea istoriilor locale. Este o recomandare fermă pentru cei interesați de studii indigene, feministe sau de teorie critică, oferind instrumente metodologice noi pentru a regândi comunitatea planetară într-un mod etic și colaborativ.

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."

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."

Descriere scurtă

Dynamics of Deep Time and Deep Place comprises one volume in an unprecedented three-volume set, collectively subtitled Decolonial Reconstellations. Together with Volume Two (Dissolving Master Narratives) 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.
