In this article, I highlight the ways that Black Europeans challenge universalizing notions of cultural heritage to emphasize decolonial possibilities. Focusing on the German context, I show how Black artists, intellectuals and activists interrogate the collection, display and spectatorship of museum objects in majority-white contexts using the strategies of decolonial gazing and hermeneutic resistance. I use the Berlin Ethnological Museum in its former and current iterations as a representative example of debates about collecting and looking at museums, showing how scholars like Fatima El-Tayeb and initiatives like No Humboldt21! challenge universalizing discourses and reflect the gaze back on whiteness. Finally, I offer a reading of a literary challenge to white hegemony within and beyond the museum in Sharon Dodua Otoo’s 2021 novel Adas Raum [Ada’s Realm].

非殖民性凝视与诠释学抵抗：德国黑人在博物馆中对德国白人文化霸权的挑战

在本文中，我重点介绍了欧洲黑人挑战文化遗产普遍观念以强调非殖民可能性的方式。着眼于德国的背景，我展示了黑人艺术家、知识分子和活动家如何使用非殖民性凝视和解释学抵抗的策略来质疑在白人占多数的背景下博物馆物品的收藏、展示和观看。我以柏林民族学博物馆的前身和现在的版本作为关于收藏和观看博物馆的辩论的代表性例子，展示像法蒂玛·埃尔-塔耶布这样的学者和像“禁止洪堡21！”这样的倡议是如何进行的。挑战普遍化的话语，并将目光重新投向白人。最后，我将解读莎朗·多杜瓦·奥图 (Sharon Dodua Otoo) 2021 年出版的小说《阿达的王国》(Adas Raum)，其中对博物馆内外的白人霸权发起了文学挑战。
