Abstract

Abstract:A conversation between a feminist scholar and a women's right activist on the US-NATO military withdrawal from Afghanistan (August 2021), this piece aims to share an alternative strand of Afghan feminist thought to the dominant gender apartheid rhetoric presented in popular Euromerican media. From a transnational feminist lens, the article offers Afghan feminist strategies for survival in the face of war, terrorism, imperialism, and misogyny. In this conversation, the parliamentarian Malalai Joya recounts the political stakes involved in her fight for justice, her resistance to imperial feminism, and thoughtful critique of some Afghan women leaders, conservative or liberal, who maintain patriarchal power but fail to wield their privileged positionalities to foreground the economic and social needs of the vast majority of Afghan women. The conversation steers toward questions about whether Joya's socialist dream of achieving freedom and democracy in Afghanistan is too idealistic, or potentially feasible through her theory of democratization of knowledge as resistance to oppression. Given the geopolitical power dynamic between the two speakers, from a critical transnational feminist lens, this conversation seeks to shift epistemology from the colonial model of knowledge extraction to a more collaborative practice of decolonization of feminist knowledge formation.

美国-北约从阿富汗撤军的跨国女权主义视角:与马拉莱·乔亚的对话
摘要:本文通过一名女权主义学者与一名女权活动家就美国-北约从阿富汗撤军(2021年8月)的对话,旨在分享一种另类的阿富汗女权主义思想,而不是欧美主流媒体所呈现的主流性别种族隔离言论。这篇文章从跨国女权主义的视角,提供了阿富汗女权主义者在面对战争、恐怖主义、帝国主义和厌女症时的生存策略。在这次谈话中,国会议员马拉莱·乔亚(Malalai Joya)讲述了她为正义而战所涉及的政治风险,她对帝国主义女权主义的抵制,以及对一些阿富汗女性领导人的深思熟虑的批评,这些领导人,无论是保守派还是自由派,都保持着父权,但未能利用自己的特权地位来突出绝大多数阿富汗女性的经济和社会需求。谈话转向了这样一个问题:乔娅在阿富汗实现自由和民主的社会主义梦想是否过于理想化,或者通过她的知识民主化理论作为抵抗压迫的潜在可行性。鉴于两位演讲者之间的地缘政治权力动态,从批判性的跨国女权主义视角来看,这次对话试图将知识提取的殖民模式的认识论转变为女权主义知识形成的非殖民化的更具协作性的实践。
