Abstract

In this Philological Conversation, Dilip M. Menon dwells on the questions of how to think concepts and theorize from the Global South and on writing history beyond the Eurocentric, colonial, nationalist, and terrestrial. We discuss the political and epistemic implications and consequences of such urgent tasks. Dilip M. Menon speaks about his affinities with Edward Said, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Walter Benjamin, among others, and refects on the themes of coloniality of knowledge, postcoloniality, decoloniality, oceanic history, and the idea of paracoloniality. He links his earlier works to his recent decolonial intellectual projects and discusses his intellectual formation and his practice as a historian and social theorist. Put together via e-mail exchanges, this conversation is a culmination of several in-person conversations that took place in Beirut, Delhi and Berlin. One only hopes for many more to come.

文字及其世界:与迪利普-梅农的对话
在本期 "哲学对话 "中,迪利普-梅农(Dilip M. Menon)探讨了如何从全球南部思考概念和理论,以及如何超越欧洲中心主义、殖民主义、民族主义和陆地主义书写历史的问题。我们讨论了这些紧迫任务的政治和认识论影响及后果。Dilip M. Menon 谈到了他与爱德华-萨义德、米哈伊尔-巴赫金和沃尔特-本雅明等人的亲缘关系,并对知识的殖民性、后殖民主义、非殖民主义、海洋史和准殖民主义思想等主题进行了反思。他将自己的早期作品与近期的非殖民化知识项目联系起来,讨论了自己作为历史学家和社会理论家的知识形成和实践。这次对话是在贝鲁特、德里和柏林进行的几次面对面对话的结晶,是通过电子邮件交流而完成的。我们只希望以后还有更多的对话。
