近年来,一个小,但丰富的地理文献已从事与下级研究,探讨地理和地缘政治想象力的下级科目和团体。这些著作都部署subalternity指定一个实质性的主题或在权力面前被边缘化的群体。与此不同的是,本文更形象地对待subalternity,作为一个词,它能够唤起被困扰学科地理学的欧美力量所遮蔽的空间性。本文认为,使用这样的subalternity有可能多元化的地理干预,特别是在该学科的唯物主义转向自20世纪90年代末。为了证明这一点,本文采用了Gayatri Spivak对Subaltern Studies集体的开创性批评,表明这可能会对后殖民地理方法论产生影响。它展示了这种方法的潜力,通过编织它通过更广泛的尝试,批判性地参与斯里兰卡的自然和环境的政治。
In recent years a small but rich geographical literature has engaged with Subaltern Studies to explore the geographical and geopolitical imaginations of subaltern subjects and groups. Such writings have deployed subalternity to designate a substantive subject or group marginalized in the face of power. Departing from this, the paper instead treats subalternity more figuratively, as a word able to evoke spatialities occluded by the Euro‐American power that haunts disciplinary geography. The paper argues that using subalternity like this holds the potential to pluralize geographical interventions, particularly in the light of the discipline's materialist turns since the late 1990s. To make this argument, the paper engages Gayatri Spivak's seminal critique of the Subaltern Studies collective, suggesting how this might speak productively to a postcolonial geographical methodology. It demonstrates the potential of this methodology by weaving it through a broader attempt to critically engage the politics of nature and environment in Sri Lanka.
