abstract

In this perspective, I reflect on the surface, as articulated in Desiree Lewis and Gabeba Baderoon’s (2021 Lewis, Desiree & Gabeba Baderoon (eds) 2021, Surfacing: On Being Black and Feminist in South Africa, Wits University Press, Johannesburg.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) edited collection, Surfacing: On Being Black and Feminist in South Africa. To surface, in the first instance, is an engagement with my own points of entry in Black feminist scholarship and further, implicated in the range of methods in praxis within the book, a means by and through which situating myself, also offered as ‘positionings’ orients Black feminist, or Blackwomen in my usage, in the work of knowledge production. Surfacing also situates Blackwomen’s knowledge production, reorienting – ‘unmaking’, ‘homing’ – the locus of Black feminist scholarship from the dominance of the global North. I have explored ‘Home’ as an inside/outside situation that illuminates Black feminist and Blackwomen’s approaches to making knowledge, a practice of writing that deeply resonates with the vantage points of a praxis of surfacing.

摘要

从这个角度来看，我反映在表面上，正如 Desiree Lewis 和 Gabeba Baderoon 所阐述的（2021 Lewis, Desiree & Gabeba Baderoon (eds) 2021，浮出水面：南非的黑人和女权主义者，金山大学出版社，约翰内斯堡。[Crossref]  , [Google Scholar] ) 编辑合集，Surfacing: On Being Black and Feminist in South Africa. 浮出水面，首先，是与我自己在黑人女权主义学术研究中的切入点的接触，并进一步涉及书中实践方法的范围，这是一种定位自己的方式，也作为“定位”提供' 将黑人女权主义者或我使用的 Blackwomen 定位于知识生产的工作中。浮出水面还定位了黑人女性的知识生产，重新定位——“破坏”、“归巢”——黑人女权主义奖学金从全球北方的统治地位中脱颖而出。我将“家”作为一种内部/外部情况进行了探索，它阐明了黑人女权主义者和黑人女性创造知识的方法，一种与表面实践的有利位置产生深刻共鸣的写作实践。
