“…Recent understandings of systems of classification, under the rubric of Foucault's modern episteme, tend instead to view them as exposing the ways a collector or curator perceives the world rather than being solely or primarily intrinsic to the collection. In other words, knowledge production itself is recognized as central and indeed problematic (Brunner, 2020;Hooper-Greenhill, 1992, 12-18, 197). Perceptions and knowledge are, in turn, dependent on the previous history of collections, against which new ones are measured, displayed, and understood, and on the broader context in which collections are acquired, maintained, and exhibited (e.g., Bennett et al, 2017;Clifford, 1985;Pearce, 1994, 201-2).…”

“…More closely connected to the academic legacies and continuities of collecting, epistemic violence can occur at the point where knowledge production resides (Brunner, 2020). It is a function of asymmetrical discourses and practices that exclude Others by delegitimizing alternative epistemological possibilities and by essentializing and hierarchizing.…”

Practices of collecting have been integral to archaeology as well as to anthropology more generally since the inception of the disciplines. From the history of collecting in the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries, it is clear that although the degree of coercion varied, the practices of collecting inevitably took place in contexts of starkly unequal power relations and associated forms of violence. More than just the act of collecting, it is also the ways collections are handled, made available (or not), curated, and discarded that are imbued with different kinds of violence. This article draws on the case of human and other remains recovered in excavations on the campus of the Free University of Berlin (Germany) and examines the ways in which the amassing, use, and discard of collections are entwined with violent practices.

Desde la historia de la recolección a finales de los siglos XIX y XX, es claro que, aunque el grado de coerción varió, las prácticas de recolección inevitablemente se dieron en contextos de relaciones de poder inequívocamente desiguales y se asociaron a formas de violencia. Más que el simple acto de recolectar son también las formas en que las recolecciones fueron manejadas, puestas a disposición (o no), curadas y descartadas que están imbuidas de diferentes tipos de violencia. Este artículo se basa en el caso de los restos humanos y de otros restos recuperados en excavaciones en el campus de la Universidad Libre de Berlín (Alemania) y examina las formas en que la acumulación, el uso y el descarte de recolecciones están entrelazadas con prácticas violentas.

In my comprehensive monograph about epistemic violence (Brunner 2020), I discuss most of these authors and concepts at length.

The aim of this introduction to the present JEP volume on epistemic violence is threefold: by linking a post-and decolonial perspective to the productively ambivalent German notion of Gewalt, I first argue why it is important to keep analysing and theorising epistemic violence across different scholarly disciplines and fields of (academic) knowledge production. Second, and based on the concept of the coloniality of power, knowledge, and being, I present a multi-disciplinary approach to the concept of epistemic violence that is rooted in multi-disciplinary efforts to work with it. Based on a multitude of approaches to the problem, readers from many disciplines can find ways to make use of it within their own terrain of knowledge. Third, I introduce the notion of Hegemonie(selbst-)kritik in order to link the heterogeneous efforts of dealing with epistemic violence, both as a phenomenon and as a concept, that are presented in this volume, with a deep reflection on our own scholarly practices across modernity's epistemic territory and its Euro-Anglo-American epistemic monoculture. The latter has inspired the title and focus of this article. Since even critical scholarship cannot transcend the double-bind that comes along with knowledge production in colonial modernity, we should remember that our efforts to undoing epistemic violence remain entangled with the colonial condition. This is why I suggest speaking of un/doing epistemic violence instead of claiming to be able to fully undo it.

“…Dabei werden die eigenen Sprechpositionen der Subalternen abgesprochen und somit auch ihre Handlungsmacht abgewertet (u.a. : Bartels et al, 2019;Brunner, 2020;Crawley, 2022). Damit einher geht auch die Kritik an den westlichen Intellektuellen, die mit der Praxis hegemonialer Wissensproduktion »zu KomplizInnen in der beharrlichen Konstituierung des/der Anderen als Schatten des Selbst« (Spivak, 2008c, S. 41) werden.…”
