Abstract

This article considers how those subordinated for their gender and sexual orientation, but privileged for their race and class, may be better allies to people, especially women, of colour. Judith Butler’s Excitable Speech (1997) is a helpful aid. Butler offers us a strategy to think through — albeit by way of supplementary voices such as legal theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw, French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and philosopher George Yancy — how white women may find an ‘insurrectionary’ form of speech that is both embodied and attentive to how we stand in the pecking order of public sphere expression and exchange. The article considers how white women’s ‘critical freedoms’ have helped shape the discursive preclusions faced by Black women. It analyses the conditions by which white women may assert their freedom of speech without this being to the detriment of women of colour.

自我批判的自由:白人女性、交叉性和激动人心的言论》(朱迪思-巴特勒,1997 年)
本文探讨了那些因性别和性取向而处于从属地位,但因种族和阶级而享有特权的人如何才能更好地成为有色人种(尤其是女性)的盟友。朱迪斯-巴特勒(Judith Butler)的《激动人心的演讲》(Excitable Speech,1997 年)是一本有用的辅助读物。巴特勒通过法律理论家金伯利-克伦肖(Kimberlé Crenshaw)、法国社会学家皮埃尔-布尔迪厄(Pierre Bourdieu)和哲学家乔治-扬西(George Yancy)等人的补充,为我们提供了一种思考策略,即白人女性如何才能找到一种 "叛逆 "的言论形式,既体现又关注我们在公共领域的表达和交流中的地位。文章探讨了白人女性的 "批判性自由 "是如何帮助形成黑人女性所面临的话语排斥的。文章分析了白人女性维护其言论自由而不损害有色人种女性利益的条件。
