这篇文章重新审视了关系比较的想法，这是我早期在后种族隔离时代的南非进行研究时产生的，目的是以新的方式发挥作用。首先，我澄清了不同的“比较”模式及其政治利害关系，并继续详细说明关系比较中的“关系”如何指的是马克思方法核心的开放的、非目的论的辩证法概念。然后，我从事尖锐两极分化的城市研究和底层研究的辩论投在马克思主义与后殖民主义/后结构主义，并建议如何比较模态之间的区别有助于重新配置的辩论条件。这篇文章为一个更大的项目奠定了基础，该项目的重点是了解在新自由主义形式的资本主义时代，世界不同地区复兴的民族主义，民粹主义和种族主义。更广泛地说，我建议如何关系比较，扩展到包括结合分析，可以作为实践马克思主义后殖民地理学的方法。
This article revisits the idea of relational comparison that grew out of my earlier research in post-apartheid South Africa in order to put it to work in new ways. First I clarify distinctively different modalities of ‘comparison’ and their political stakes, and go on to specify how the ‘relational’ in relational comparison refers to an open, non-teleological conception of dialectics at the core of Marx’s method. I then engage with sharply polarized urban studies and subaltern studies debates cast in terms of Marxism vs. postcolonialism/poststructuralism and suggest how distinctions among comparative modalities help to reconfigure the terms of the debates. The article lays the groundwork for a larger project that focuses on understanding resurgent nationalisms, populisms, and racisms in different regions of the world in relation to one another in the era of neoliberal forms of capitalism. More broadly I suggest how relational comparison, extended to include conjunctural analysis, can be used as a method for practicing Marxist postcolonial geographies.
