• Resumen

  • Abstract This roundtable discussion is a response to the article “Decoloniality and Language Scholarship” by academics from the interdisciplinary Department of Cultural & Religious Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) who share its discomfort towards normative modes of decolonization. The respondents work in different fields of critical theory, religious studies, science & technology studies, and public humanities. The roundtable opens by uncovering the dominant systems and norms of colonial epistemology and language. It examines the problematic binaries and inequalities that decolonization produces in these fields, which depoliticize and romanticize alterity. Highlighting the urgency of critical contextualization, it explores the possibilities for recuperating the political and activist tendencies of decolonization.
