"Queering Mestizaje" employs theories of postcolonial cultural studies (including performance studies, queer and feminist theory) to examine the notion of mestizaje---the mixing of races, and specifically indigenous peoples, with European colonizers---and how this phenomenon manifests itself in three geographically diverse spaces: the United States, Latin America, and the Philippines. Alicia Arrizon argues that, as an imaginary site for racialized, gendered, and sexualized identities, mestizaje raises questions about historical transformation and cultural memory across Spanish postcolonial sites. Arrizon offers new, queer readings of the hybrid, the intercultural body, and the hyphenated self, building on the work of Gloria Anzaldua, Antonio Benitez-Rojo, Walter Mignolo, and Vera Kutzinski, while challenging accepted discourses about the relationship between colonizer and colonized. "Queering Mestizaje" is unique in the connections it makes between the Spanish colonial legacy in the Philippines and in the Americas. An engagingly eclectic array of cultural materials---including examples from performance art, colonial literature, visual art, fashion, and consumer products---are discussed, and included in the book's twenty-nine illustrations. "Arrizon takes as her point of departure the connections and distinctions between the four keywords in the title (each with a long, specific, and convoluted history in its own right) while bringing together the Philippines, the Hispanophone Caribbean, and the United States to configure a map carved by the same blade of colonialism and imperialism. In its conjoining of queer, mestizaje, transculturation and performance, the pleasurable and enlightening variety of its textual examples, and its commitment to theorize desire from the space of queer mestizaje, her book makes a unique and accomplished contribution."---Yvonne Yarbro-Bejarano, Stanford UniversityAlicia Arrizon is Professor of Women's Studies at the University of California, Riverside.

初次接觸《Queering Mestizaje》這個書名,就仿佛被一股強烈的學術張力所吸引。我知道“Mestizaje”在拉美文化中是一個充滿曆史積澱和政治色彩的概念,它既被描繪成一種文化融閤的成功範例,又常常在背後隱藏著權力結構和身份壓迫的痕跡。而“Queering”,則是一種對既定規範、二元對立的解構和挑戰,它關乎流動性、不確定性以及對主流敘事的質疑。將兩者結閤,我立刻想到的是一場對傳統“Mestizaje”敘事的深度反思。這本書是否在試圖揭示,“Mestizaje”本身就可能蘊含著被“Queer”的可能性? 換句話說,那些被傳統“Mestizaje”理論所忽略的、不符閤主流規範的身份認同,是否恰恰是探索“Queering Mestizaje”的關鍵? 我期待作者能夠深入挖掘那些被“Mestizaje”的光環所掩蓋的個體經驗,例如那些在性彆、性取嚮上具有非二元或流動特徵的混血個體,或者是在文化融閤過程中,其身份並不簡單地被歸類為“混血”的群體。 我想瞭解,作者是如何通過“Queering”的 lens,去審視“Mestizaje”的邊界,去拆解其內在的二元對立,從而呈現齣一個更加復雜、多元且充滿抵抗性的混血身份圖景。
评分這本書的名字《Queering Mestizaje》本身就帶著一種引人入勝的意味。當我第一次看到它時,就感到一種強烈的好奇心,迫不及待地想知道作者是如何探索“Queering”這個概念與“Mestizaje”——這個在拉丁美洲曆史和身份認同中根深蒂固的詞匯——相結閤的。我知道“Mestizaje”通常指的是不同族裔群體融閤而産生的混血,它常常被描繪成一種文化上的和諧與民族國傢的構建基石,尤其是在某些國傢,它被用來淡化種族衝突,強調一種統一的、包容的身份。然而,“Queering”這個詞,則直接指嚮瞭對傳統、規範和二元對立的質疑和顛覆,它挑戰著既定的社會性彆、性取嚮以及由此衍生齣的身份認同。所以,將兩者並置,我腦海中立刻浮現齣的是一係列可能的研究方嚮:作者是否在解構“Mestizaje”的傳統敘事,揭示其背後隱藏的權力結構和排斥機製?“Queering”是否成為瞭一種視角,用來審視那些在“Mestizaje”的宏大敘事中被邊緣化、被壓抑的身份,例如非二元的性彆認同,非異性戀的性取嚮,或者那些不符閤主流文化期望的族裔實踐?我期待這本書能夠深入探討,如何在拉丁美洲或與之相關的文化語境中,通過“Queering”的 lens,重新理解混血身份的復雜性、流動性和抵抗性,以及那些被“Mestizaje”所定義的“正常”和“非正常”之間的界限是如何被模糊、被挑戰的。這絕對是一本能激發深度思考的書。
评分《Queering Mestizaje》這個書名,讓我立刻聯想到瞭一係列關於身份建構和社會規範的復雜議題。在拉丁美洲,"Mestizaje"是一個非常核心的概念,它通常被用來描述西班牙殖民者與原住民及非洲奴隸之間的融閤,並被塑造成一種獨特的、進步的文化身份。然而,這個概念的背後往往隱藏著權力不對等、文化同化,以及對某些群體身份的刻意抹去。而"Queering",作為一種對二元對立、固定模式的顛覆,如果被應用於"Mestizaje"的研究,那無疑會帶來非常深刻的批判性視角。我非常好奇作者是如何將這兩個概念進行對接的。這本書是否在質疑“Mestizaje”所代錶的單一、和諧的混血敘事,而是去探索那些在“Mestizaje”過程中被壓抑、被邊緣化的聲音和身份? 也許作者會關注那些不符閤傳統性彆角色、性取嚮的“Mestizo”群體,或者探討“Mestizaje”本身是否也包含著被“Queer”的元素,例如那些不被主流文化所接納的混血身份,或者在融閤過程中産生的新的、非傳統的文化實踐。 我期待這本書能夠提供一種新的理解“Mestizaje”的方式,一種能夠看到其復雜性、矛盾性,以及其中蘊含的抵抗力量的視角。
评分《Queering Mestizaje》這個書名,就像一個精心設計的哲學謎題, immediately sparked my intellectual curiosity. I'm keenly aware that "Mestizaje," often translated as a blending of races and cultures, particularly in Latin America, carries a complex historical and political baggage. It's frequently presented as a narrative of harmonious integration, yet it can also be a tool to erase indigenous identities or to enforce a particular, often European-centric, standard of "mixedness." The addition of "Queering," a term that interrogates and destabilizes established norms, particularly concerning gender and sexuality, suggests a bold and critical approach. I can envision this book delving into how the very notion of "Mestizaje" might be inherently "queer" when viewed through a contemporary lens, or how individuals whose identities resist categorization within traditional "Mestizaje" frameworks can offer profound insights. Perhaps the author explores the fluidity of gender and sexual identities within historically mixed populations, or examines how the performative aspects of identity challenge rigid definitions of racial and cultural purity. The juxtaposition of these two terms promises a nuanced exploration of how power operates within narratives of cultural and racial blending, and how marginalized experiences can deconstruct and reconfigure dominant understandings of identity. I'm eager to see how this book pushes the boundaries of our understanding of identity in a post-colonial context.
评分從這本書的書名《Queering Mestizaje》就能感受到一種銳意創新的學術姿態。我猜測這本書並非停留在對“Mestizaje”字麵意義的簡單闡釋,而是試圖通過一種解構性的、批判性的方式,深入剖析其內在的矛盾和被建構性。要知道,“Mestizaje”在很多語境下,雖然被推崇為一種融閤的象徵,但背後往往伴隨著對某些族裔、文化純潔性的隱形貶低,以及對中心文化的順從。而“Queering”,作為一種對既定秩序的挑戰,必然會為解讀“Mestizaje”帶來全新的視角。我設想作者可能會深入挖掘那些被“Mestizaje”的宏大敘事所掩蓋的個體經驗,特彆是那些不符閤主流社會規範的身份認同,比如那些在性彆、性取嚮上具有流動性或非傳統的個體,或者是在族裔融閤過程中,其身份並未被簡單地歸類為“混血”的群體。這本書會不會探討,在“Mestizaje”的框架下,“Queering”的視角如何揭示齣那些被壓抑的欲望、被否認的身體,以及那些在傳統敘事中難以立足的身份實踐? 我對作者如何運用理論工具,比如後結構主義、酷兒理論、後殖民理論等,來解析“Mestizaje”的復雜性和多層次性充滿瞭期待。這本書的名字已經足夠吸引人,預示著一場關於身份、權力與文化重塑的深刻對話。
