Abstract

This article has three aims. First, I discuss the existing inequalities within the systems of knowledge production dominated by “Anglo-American” academia and critically examine the “East-West” binary to show that sexuality and gender/feminist scholars in geography should learn from their deconstructive skills to overcome hegemonies erected by these binaries both in academia and the related geopolitical landscapes. Second, I critically discuss the concept of “Central and Eastern Europe” (CEE) which I do not intend to stabilize, and hold up a mirror to the various hegemonic misunderstandings that take the form of “homogenization”, “dehistoricization”, “isolation” or by ascribing “backwardness”, by which they effectively erase or overlook knowledges and contributions of “non-Anglo- American” scholars often left “beyond translation.” Last, I concentrate on the discussion of the development of geographies of sexualities and gender/feminist thought in CEE geography and illustrate the challenges that scholars from different institutional and national contexts must still face. By this article, I attempt to stand for our/their recognition.

“边缘”的教训:对抗英国地理对性和性别地理的霸权
这篇文章有三个目的。首先,我讨论了“英美”学术界主导的知识生产体系中存在的不平等,并批判性地审视了“东西方”二元对立,以表明地理学中的性和性别/女权主义学者应该学习他们的解构技能,以克服这些二元对立在学术界和相关地缘政治景观中建立的霸权。其次,我批判性地讨论了我不打算稳定的“中东欧”概念,并对以“同质化”、“去历史化”、,通过这种方式,他们有效地抹去或忽视了“非英美”学者的知识和贡献,这些学者往往“超越了翻译”。最后,我集中讨论了性取向地理和性别/女权主义思想在中东欧地理中的发展,并说明了来自不同制度和国家背景的学者仍然必须面临的挑战。通过这篇文章,我试图代表我们/他们的认可。
