Abstract This article identifies two radical shifts in how colonialism is politically positioned and temporally framed, shifts that alter what invocations of colonialism look like, what distinguishes the attention they garner, and thus what they are implicitly or explicitly called upon to do. For one, invocations of colonialism are now oriented less to “residual” damage than to deepening racial inequalities on which (il)liberal politics increasingly thrive. Two, they are rendered not only as violating histories of the present but as premonitions in a dark diagnostics, as foreboding forecasts—histories of the global future across broader zones of disrepair, disregard, and degraded care.

非自由时代的殖民分歧：对未来的预测

摘要 本文确定了殖民主义在政治上的定位和时间框架方面的两个根本转变，这些转变改变了对殖民主义的援引，改变了它们所获得的关注的区别，从而改变了它们被暗示或明确地被要求做的事情。一方面，现在对殖民主义的诉求不再是针对“残余”损害，而是针对加深（非）自由主义政治日益繁荣的种族不平等。第二，它们不仅被视为违反当前历史，而且被视为黑暗诊断中的预兆，作为不祥的预测——跨越更广泛的失修、忽视和护理退化区域的全球未来历史。
