Abstract
Abstract:Citational practices have relied on a fiction of ownership, by which ideas can be said to belong to those scholars who wrote them down, then are borrowed by others who cite their writings. But this fiction is unsustainable under conditions of racialized and gendered precarity in the academic profession. Ursula K. Le Guin's novel The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia, when read idiosyncratically as a campus novel, provides an allegory for contemporary conditions in academia, while inviting the possibility that scholarly citation must accommodate non-scholarly or para-academic ideas, even at the risk of its displacement.
摘要:引用实践依赖于一种所有权的虚构，通过这种虚构，思想可以说属于那些写下它们的学者，然后被引用他们作品的其他人借用。但在学术职业的种族化和性别不稳定的条件下，这种小说是不可持续的。厄休拉·勒奎恩(Ursula K. Le Guin)的小说《被剥夺者:一个模棱两可的乌托邦》(The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia)作为一部校园小说被特殊地阅读时，为当代学术界的状况提供了一个寓言，同时提出了学术引用必须容纳非学术或准学术思想的可能性，即使冒着被取代的风险。
