务农让她变得愚蠢
作者：
Lisa Heldke
这篇文章是对愚蠢的知识的考察，试图对一种特定的知识进行分类，并理解“愚蠢”这个标签何时、如何以及为什么被应用于边缘化的知识群体。Heldke通过考虑一群被定义为愚蠢的人来研究定义过程的工作方式以及使其成为可能的条件：农村人。在某种程度上，作者打算她的识别和分类愚蠢的知道，以支持抵抗理论家的工作，他们已经确定了那些被边缘化的愚蠢的知道者使用他们所谓的愚蠢的外衣来帮助他们的抵抗的方式。赫尔德克还希望在现有的对知识层次的批评中加入一种对一种知识形式被贬值的特殊方式的理解：愚蠢化。为什么某些形式的知识实际上被认为使人无法进行其他形式的理性思维？
This essay is an examination of stupid knowing, an attempt to catalog a particular species of knowing, and to understand when, how, and why the label “stupid” gets applied to marginalized groups of knowers. Heldke examines the ways the defining processes work and the conditions that make them possible, by considering one group of people who get defined as stupid: rural people. In part, the author intends her identification and categorization of stupid knowing to support the work of theorists of resistance who have identified ways that those marginalized as stupid knowers use the cloak of their purported stupidity in the aid of their resistance. Heldke also hopes to add to the existing critique of the hierarchies of knowing an understanding of one particular way one form of knowledge is devalued: stupidification. Why are some forms of knowledge actually regarded as leaving one incapable of other forms of rational thought?
