Abstract

Decolonial refusals theory, forged through fieldwork in Puerto Rico, is used to question “conceptual disjunctures” in binary views of center‐periphery relations. Grad students here are not merely voices from the margins, as seen from the imperial north. Their autoethnographies may be dispatches from the frontlines of an epistemic rebellion. But seen from the south, their writings are regenerative forms of refusal. Their arc of refusal, rooted in a characteristic el vaivén modality (back‐and‐forth), begins by critiquing the mimicry of public English usage, and the coercive loss of voice they experience in English departments. Refusal to be pinned on the periphery opens to narrating fluid subjectivities, which challenge national and linguistic binaries. This project furthers the “ethnographic imperative” which Brian Street saw as key to reimagining interdisciplinary Writing Studies and cultural analysis.

拒绝非殖民化:来自后边缘的人种学写作
通过在波多黎各的实地考察形成的 "非殖民化拒绝理论",被用来质疑中心与边缘关系二元观点中的 "概念割裂"。这里的研究生不仅仅是来自帝国北方的边缘声音。他们的自我民族志可能是来自认识论反叛前线的消息。但从南方看,他们的著作是拒绝的再生形式。他们的拒绝弧线植根于一种特有的 "来来回回"(el vaivén)方式,首先批判了公共英语用法的模仿,以及他们在英语系中被迫丧失发言权的经历。拒绝被边缘化,开始叙述流动的主体性,挑战民族和语言的二元对立。该项目推进了 "人种学的必要性",布莱恩-斯切特认为这是重新构想跨学科写作研究和文化分析的关键。
