在《事物的重新排序:大学及其少数群体差异教学法》中,罗德里克·A·弗格森断言,“我们如何阅读、写作和设计少数群体差异文化,与我们想象和制度化的少数群体社区类型密切相关,并且可能成为我们自己重振跨学科生活的问题”(230)。他的最新著作拓展了我们对当代权力政权整合、重新配置和管理差异模式的方式的理解。弗格森将文学、批评和历史分析结合在一起,并进行“关系批判”,理论化少数文化形式和实践如何表达“后民权运动中制度性和文本性之间的复杂关系”(17)。该书重点关注 20 世纪 60 年代和 1970 年代的学生运动的影响,这些运动导致了种族研究、妇女和性别研究等跨学科领域的制度化,并探讨了权力如何使差异正常化。弗格森分析了 20 世纪 60 年代和 1970 年代制度转型期间产生的叙事以及代表该时期社会剧变的当代文学文本。在此过程中,他追溯了后民权时代反对派和非认同性做法的关键谱系,并考虑了学生运动如何为权力体系创造机会,以制定吸收规范少数群体差异的政策。弗格森从雅克·德里达的机构和档案概念入手,说明大学作为国家的代表和适应性档案权力,如何吸收而不是否认差异,从而完善其排除和监管实践。例如,正如弗格森在第二章中所论述的那样,加州大学圣地亚哥分校(UCSD)的卢蒙巴-萨帕塔运动(1969-72)回应了主流机构,这些机构将少数群体定义为可以被整合、包容和调节以通过参与实现向上流动的主体。这
In The Reorder of Things: The University and Its Pedagogies of Minority Difference, Roderick A. Ferguson asserts, “[H]ow we read, write, [and] design a minority difference culture has everything to do with the kind of minority communities that we imagine and institutionalize and might become the very question of our own reinvigorated interdisciplinary life” (230). His latest work expands our understanding of the ways contemporary regimes of power incorporate, reconfigure, and manage modes of difference. Ferguson brings together literary, critical, and historical analysis and engages a “critique of relations” that theorizes how minority cultural forms and practices express “complex relationships between institutionality and textuality in the post-civil rights movement” (17). Focusing on the impact of the student movements of the 1960s and 1970s that resulted in the institutionalization of interdisciplinary fields such as ethnic studies and women’s and gender studies, the book considers how power normalizes difference. Ferguson analyzes narratives produced during the institutional transformations of the 1960s and 1970s and contemporary literary texts that represent the social upheavals of that period. In so doing, he traces a critical genealogy of oppositional and disidentificatory practices during the post-Civil Rights era and considers how student movements created opportunities for systems of power to develop policies of absorption regulating minority difference. Ferguson begins with Jacques Derrida’s notion of institutions and the archive in order to illustrate how the university, as a representative of the state and an adaptive archival power, has incorporated rather than repudiated difference so as to refine its practices of exclusion and regulation. For example, as Ferguson argues in Chapter Two, the Lumumba-Zapata movement (1969-72) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) responded to dominant institutions that defined minorities as subjects that could be integrated, included, and conditioned to achieve upward mobility through participation.
