当殖民南亚的英国法官试图以超然的客观性履行职责时,他们也在表演一种特定的帝国白人男子气概。这是一个矛盾的、具体化的立法。当客观法官的形象被批评为白人和男性时,其声称的客观形象受到了威胁。由于这种矛盾心理,这是一种无法命名的帝国白人男子气概。相反,这是一种白人男子气概,是通过与被认为是偏颇的女性化的非白人身体进行区分而构建的。
When British judges in colonial South Asia attempted to perform their duties with detached objectivity they were also performatively enacting a particular construction of imperial white masculinity. This was an ambivalent embodied enactment. When the figure of the objective judge was confronted by critics as white and male, its claims to be objective were under threat. As a result of this ambivalence, it was an imperial white masculinity that could not name itself. Instead, it was a white masculinity constructed through a differentiation that was made with feminised, non-white bodies that were deemed partial.
