Epistemologija, ideologija in književnost: radikalni konstruktivizem, dekolonialne študije in književnost severnoameriških staroselcev:

Abstract

Članek raziskuje razmerja med ideologijo in epistemologijo ter njihov odraz v književnosti. Teoretsko se opira na teorije radikalnega konstruktivizma, predvsem na dela Heinza von Foersterja, ter na dekolonialne študije, kakor so jih razvili Walter Mignolo, Santiago Castro-Gómez in drugi. Literarni primeri so izbrani iz del sodobne književnosti severnoameriških staroselcev, ker prav njihova literarna in literarnovedna dela najbolj nazorno tematizirajo tu obravnavano problematiko. Osrednja teza izhaja z ene strani iz konstruktivistične predpostavke o svobodni izbiri epistemologije in z druge strani iz ugotovitve dekolonialnih študij, da je ta svoboda ideološko omejena v konkretnih zgodovinskih okoliščinah. Povezava obeh teorij omogoča sklep, da epistemologija zunanjega opazovalca spodbuja in legitimira kapitalizem in kolonializem, ta pa ga, ko sta vzpostavljena, vsiljujeta podrejenim in izkoriščanim. Epistemologijo udeleženosti, kakor se kaže v izbranih literarnih primerih, lahko v tem kontekstu razumemo kot obliko upora proti hegemonialni epistemologiji.

The article focuses on the relations between ideology and epistemology, and their reflections in literature. It starts from the theories of radical constructivism, especially the work of Heinz von Foerster and decolonial studies as introduced by Walter Mignolo and Santiago Castro-Gómez, to continue with the discussion of selected excerpts from Native American literature and criticism, as they deal explicitly with this topic. While Foerster assumed the free choice of epistemology, decolonial studies discern that in certain historical circumstances this freedom is limited by ideologies. The conclusion drawn from both theories is that the epistemology of the excluded observer enables and legitimizes capitalism and colonialism, which, once established, force this epistemology upon the exploited. The epistemology of an included observer/producer, as it shows up in the selected literary texts, can be read as a form of resistance against the hegemonial epistemology.
