Towards a transnational reproductive justice

通过西尔维娅·温特和其他非殖民主义理论家对围绕全球南北关系的殖民权力矩阵的探索，“从下面凝视”，以理解在提供生殖正义方面存在的各种复杂性和矛盾性。1492年见证了一个跨国世界的开始。种族概念和它对人类的意义的社会构建始于这里，与全球范围内生殖不公正的开始同时开始。温特认为，人类是一个占主导地位的种族阶级在他们自己的形象中创造的一个结构，创造了一个亚人性--一个继续影响人类动态的人性等级。学者们利用这一理论框架来解构美国的种族主义。对于这种动态在全球区域之间是否起作用/如何起作用，人们关注较少。当生殖权利往往由全球北方提供给全球南方时，这种动态是否会持续下去？通过一种可能不平等地服务于所有人口群体的书信来传递权利意味着什么？权利和正义可以是矛盾的实体吗？这部作品试图探索殖民权力矩阵的延续，并将历史不公正的(不)看到或(不)承认的再现、延伸和镜像带到人们的视野中。此外，我将探讨与现有权力矩阵“脱钩”意味着什么，以及认知上的不服从对于生殖正义是什么样子。

An exploration through Sylvia Wynter and other decolonial theorists of the colonial matrices of power surrounding relationships between the global North and South, 'Gazing from below' to understand the various complicities and contradictions existing in the provision of reproductive (in)justice. 1492 saw the beginning of a transnational world. The social construction of the concept of race and what it means to be Human began here, alongside the beginning of reproductive injustice on a global scale. Wynter suggests that the Human is a construct created by a dominant ethno-class in their own image, creating a sub-humanity - a hierarchy of humanness that continues to impact human dynamics. Scholarship has utilised this theoretical framework in deconstructions of racialisation in the US. Less attention has been given to whether/how this dynamic works between global regions. When reproductive rights are often provided by the global North to the global South, does this dynamic persist? What does it mean to deliver rights through an episteme that may not serve all population groups equally? Can rights and justice be contradictory entities?This work seeks to explore continuations of colonial matrices of power and bring into view the (un)seen or (un)acknowledged reproductions, extensions and mirrors of historical injustices. Further I will explore what it would mean to 'delink' from existing power matrices and what epistemic disobedience looks like for reproductive justice.
