本文考察了种族主义冲突体验的结构。从塔-内希西·科茨的自传《在世界和我之间》中的一个冲突事件出发，将莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂和阿尔弗雷德·舒茨的作品与黑人现象学的见解进行对比，我认为科茨的经历揭示了相互冲突但相互交织的世界存在模式。此外，它还呈现了一种特定类型的冲突的实例化，即物质冲突。肉体冲突适用于身体政治化的时候，即当身体成为代表敌对政治团体的特征的标志时。从这个角度理解，种族主义冲突总是带有政治色彩。在文章结束时，我对政治哲学中两种占主导地位的冲突理论的缺陷以及另一种现象学方法的可能性进行了一些评论，这种方法使另一方能够以新的方式参与冲突。在分析之前，对怀特研究者在种族批判哲学中所扮演的角色进行了思考。
This article investigates the structure of racialized conflict experience. Embarking from a conflict event in Ta-Nehisi Coates's autobiography Between the World and Me and contrasting the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Alfred Schutz with insights from Black phenomenology, I argue that Coates's experience discloses conflictual, but intertwined, modes of being-in-the-world. Further, it presents an instantiation of a particular kind of conflict, i.e., corporeal conflict. Corporeal conflict applies whenever the body is politicized, i.e., when it becomes the marker for traits representative of a rival political group. Understood this way, racialized conflict is always political. I conclude the article with some remarks on the shortcomings of two dominant conflict theories in political philosophy and the potential for an alternative, phenomenological approach that enables new ways of engaging the other in conflict. The analysis is preceded by a meditation on the role of the White researcher in critical philosophy of race.
