Towards a transnational reproductive justice

通过西尔维娅·温特和其他非殖民地理论家对全球北方和南方之间关系的殖民权力矩阵的探索，“从下往上看”，以了解在提供生殖（不）正义方面存在的各种共谋和矛盾。1492年是一个跨国世界的开始。种族概念的社会建构以及成为人类的意义始于此，同时全球范围内的生殖不公正也开始了。温特认为，人类是一个由占主导地位的种族阶级以自己的形象创造的结构，创造了一个亚人类-一个继续影响人类动态的人性层次。学术界利用这一理论框架解构了美国的种族主义。对全球各区域之间这种动态是否/如何运作的关注较少。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？通过一种可能不能平等地服务于所有人口群体的知识来实现权利意味着什么？权利和正义是矛盾的吗？这部作品试图探索殖民权力矩阵的延续，并将（未）看到或（未）承认的历史不公正的复制，延伸和镜子带入视野。此外，我将探讨从现有的权力矩阵中“脱钩”意味着什么，以及认识上的不服从对于生殖正义来说是什么样子。

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.
