在这个回应娜塔莉奥斯温的挑衅，“另一个地理”，我们认为我们如何可能会反对定居者的叙述和结构，从我们所处的位置在学科和在美国南部的一个特定的学术机构。跟随Diné的学生Majerle Lister，我们问考虑归还土地意味着什么：这意味着什么？我们所居住的学术机构是为了确保白色的未来而建立的，建立在虚构的历史上。它们能在现在被改造，以使土著人民和理论的未来？我们能把我们学科的擦除历史从里到外，把土地、人民和实践集中起来吗？这些东西对我们学科既重要，又缺席，只是作为阴影和隐喻的存在。我们借鉴我们自己的教学，并从土著和黑人研究的奖学金，考虑它可能看起来像是归还土地和重新配置那些被白色父权定居者结构抛弃的人之间的关系，但在不相称的方式。
In this response to Natalie Oswin’s provocation, ‘An other geography’, we consider how we might work against settler narratives and structures from our situated positions in the discipline and in a specific academic institution in the US South. Following Diné student Majerle Lister, we ask what it would mean to consider giving the land back: what does that entail? The academic institutions we inhabit were built to insure white futurity, on fictive histories. Can they be retrofitted in the present to enable the futurity of Indigenous people and theorizations? Can we turn our discipline’s history of erasure inside out, to center the land, people, and practices that were both crucial to and absent from it except as shadowy and metaphorical presences? We draw on our own teaching, and from scholarship in Indigenous and Black Studies, to consider what it might look like to return land and reconfigure relations among those who have been cast aside by white patriarchal settler structures, but in incommensurate ways.
