Abstract: Since the beginning of the 21^st century,there has arisen in the field of postcolonial studies a new trend.Started by Latin American thinkers and American scholars and centering around the concept of “decoloniality”,it has evinced significantly different aims and interests from Anglo-American postcolonial studies and drew broad attention in the field of cross-cultural studies.This new trend finds its concrete expression in a monograph titled On Decoloniality,published recently by the Duke University Press and in a group of articles recently published in the journal of Postcolonial Studies in 2020.It is therefore necessary to introduce the book with the new direction in postcolonial studies to the Chinese academia and to analyze the new trend in postcolonial criticism by voicing the opinions of Chinese scholars on the theory of decoloniality.

Key words: postcolonial studies, decoloniality, decolonization, spiritual colonization, comparative cultural studies

摘要： 自21世纪初以来,后殖民研究领域异军突起,出现了一个新的趋势,该趋势由拉美的思想家和美国的学者首先发起,以“去殖民性”为中心,展现出与美英后殖民研究颇为不同的旨趣,已经在跨文化研究领域引起广泛关注。这一新趋势的具体表现是2018年由美国杜克大学出版社出版的专著《论去殖民性》,以及2020年刚由后殖民研究的旗舰学刊《后殖民研究》围绕该书发表的一组讨论文章。本文介绍了《论去殖民性》这本书以及后殖民研究的新动向,并对后殖民研究的这一新趋势予以分析,表达中国学者对去殖民性这一理论问题的看法。
