在思考构成后殖民世界的各种关系时，责任和关怀都能提供很多东西。尽管当代政治体系经常在个性化和自主自我的背景下重新定位责任和关怀，但地理学家已经做了很多工作来重新定位空间和时间上相互依赖的叙述中的责任和关怀。他们认为，这两个术语都为思考无数地方之间的伦理地理关系提供了一条途径。在这篇文章中，我们将这个项目更进一步，看看这些关系的性质和形状可能会在后殖民世界解释。我们认为，通过对后殖民思维进行更批判性的参与，对现有责任和关怀实践的任何探索不仅会揭示将这些地理想象为现有和不断发展的关系形式的巨大潜力，而且还会引导我们在过去和现在的不平等背景下询问这些术语的部署。我们表明，路由照顾和责任，通过后殖民地理移动我们走向一个更务实的反应，一个涉及到“全方位照顾”后殖民互动的认识。
Both responsibility and care have much to offer in thinking through the relationalities that make up a postcolonial world. Although contemporary political systems often posit responsibility and care within the context of individuated and autonomous selves, geographers have done much to relocate responsibility and care within narratives of interdependency – spatially and temporally. They have argued that both terms offer a route for thinking about ethical geographical relations between myriad places. In this article we take this project further, by looking at how the nature and shape of these relationships might be construed in a postcolonial world. We suggest that, through a more critical engagement with postcolonial thinking, any exploration of existing practices of responsibility and care will not only reveal the enormous potential of imagining these geographies as forms of existing and evolving relationalities, but will also lead us to interrogate the deployments of these terms in the context of past and present inequalities. We show that routing care and responsibility through postcolonial geographies moves us towards a more pragmatic responsiveness, one that involves a ‘care-full’ recognition of postcolonial interaction.
