拉丁思想：带 X 的 Latinidad

“拉丁裔”一词已经成为争论的焦点，就像以前的“拉丁裔”一样。我们的目标是通过拉丁裔一词作为可能性场所来阐明拉丁裔/o/x 群体，同时阐明其潜在用途及其背后的原因。我们没有将拉丁语的使用视为语言使用中的一种趋势或断裂，而是将其视为内部群体动态变化和学科辩论的连续性。通过重新利用“x”（种族和族裔）抵抗历史作为非白人的标志（例如，在西卡纳女权主义中），同时转向拉丁美洲和西班牙语活动人士对“x”的使用，可以使“拉丁裔”一词是帝国主义强加给西班牙语的论点变得复杂化。拉丁裔凸显了涵盖多元化和复杂种族群体所有成员的自命名实践和术语之间的紧张关系：拉丁裔充当了新的包容框架，同时也对那些习惯于将男性中心术语作为集体代表性代理的人提出了挑战。
The term “Latinx” has become a site of contention, like “Latino” once was. Our goal is to propose an articulation of Latina/o/x populations through the term Latinx as a site of possibilities, while clarifying its potential use and the reasoning behind it. Rather than seeing the use of Latinx as a trend, or a rupture, in linguistic usage, we see its use as a continuity of internal shifting group dynamics and disciplinary debates. Complicating the argument that the term Latinx is an imperialist imposition on the Spanish language is possible by reclaiming the “x” history of (racial and ethnic) resistance as a marker of nonwhiteness (for example, in Xicana feminism), while turning to the “x” usage by Latin American and Spanish-speaking activists. Latinx foregrounds tensions among self-naming practices and terms that encompass all members of a diverse and complex ethnoracial group: Latinx acts as a new frame of inclusion, while also posing a challenge for those used to having androcentric terms serve as collective representational proxies.
