“…In other words, coloniality is, in fact, constitutive of modernity. They are the two sides of the same coin or two entangled movements, with coloniality being modernity's dark side (Mignolo 2011;Vázquez 2017).…”

“…What Dussel (1993) implies is that in order for modernity to become a dominant and universal project of civilization, it required a "double negation," to use Vázquez's (2017: 78) words. It needed a negation of otherness and a simultaneous concealment of that negation (Vázquez 2017). According to Maldonado-Torres (2007: 245), the Cartesian "ego cogito" (rational self) was founded through and by the concealment of "ego conquiro" (the self as a conqueror).…”

“…Criminology, as part of Western modernity, while referring to itself as an emancipatory force and a defender of equality and rationality, simultaneously brings within it coloniality-a destructive force (Vázquez 2009). Coloniality names this movement of concealment, erasure, negation and silencing, which established and keeps sustaining modernity and its founding disciplines (Vázquez 2017)-meaning that there has not been any "civilizing" without violence, development without destitution, progress without destruction, penality without racism (Vázquez 2009). Modernity could cloak itself in the ideals of rationality, progress and the Enlightenment by concealing that its true progenitor was the brutality of rapacious colonialism.…”

Decolonizing Southern Criminology: What Can the “Decolonial Option” Tell Us About Challenging the Modern/Colonial Foundations of Criminology?

Southern criminology has been recognized as a leading theoretical development for attempting to overcome the perpetuation of colonial power relations reflected in the unequal flow of knowledge between the Global North and Global South. Critics, however, have pointed out that Southern criminology runs the risk of recreating epistemicide and colonial power structures by reproducing colonial epistemology and by being unable to disentangle itself from the hegemony of Western modern thought. This article introduces the approach of the “decolonial option,” which suggests that all our contemporary ways of being, interacting, knowing, perceiving, sensing, and understanding are fundamentally shaped by coloniality—long-standing patterns of power that emerged because of colonialism and that are still at play (Maldonado-Torres 2007; Quijano 1992). The “decolonial option” seeks ways of knowing and being that heal, resist, and transform these deeply harmful and embedded patterns of power. Drawing on the “decolonial option,” this article aims to provide a constructive critique of Southern criminology by facilitating a better understanding of “coloniality” and offering an epistemological shift that is necessary to move toward global and cognitive justice. The rupture and paradigm shift in criminological knowledge production offered by the “decolonial option” dismantles criminology’s Western universalist narratives and its logic of separation that lie in modernity. By doing so, it provides a different understanding of modernity that looks behind its universalizing narratives and designs (e.g., development, progress, salvation) to expose “coloniality”—modernity’s dark, destructive side. While the “decolonial option” does not entail a universalizing mission, it is an option—one of the many paths that one can select to undertake decolonial work—and this article argues that if Southern criminology were to incorporate the decolonial epistemological and conceptual framework, it could better insulate itself from certain consequences of “coloniality” that it risks embodying.

“…It is about building relationships, developing trust, and engaging in reciprocity with others whilst demonstrating a genuine motivation to listen and learn from an open and receptive position. As Vazquez (2017) would argue, it is a process of 'worlding the world'. Dadirri is a reflection of the intercultural in its purest, most open and accepting form.…”

Decolonizing the Intercultural: A Call for Decolonizing Consciousness in Settler-Colonial Australia

Throughout this article I make a case for decolonizing consciousness as a reflexive orientation that reforms the ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous life-worlds are navigated and mutually apprehended in a settler colonial context. I consider how through decolonizing dominant habits of thought and action an intercultural dialogue responsive of diverse and mutually informing realities may be cultivated. This article aims to first introduce the key characteristics of ‘decolonizing consciousness’, this being reflexivity, deep listening, and border thinking. Using the Darling River in New South Wales, Australia, as a backdrop, I consider how place and environment are agents and facilitators of a contested intercultural dialogue where Indigenous and non-Indigenous ontologies, epistemologies, and axiologies often come to head. Drawing on fieldwork conducted with Aboriginal residents in far western New South Wales, as well as literature on decolonizing theory and Indigenous knowledge systems from different socio-cultural contexts, I argue that intercultural dialogue begins with reflexive contemplation of how one’s lived experiences is embedded in the realities of others.

“…(ii) The emergence of a transnational space, anchored chiefly but not exclusively in the Global South, that problematizes anew design's embeddedness in global historical relations of power and domination, variously explored in terms of design's relation to histories of colonialism and imperialism, its functioning within the modern/colonial matrix of power, the geopolitics of knowledge (eurocentrism), racism, and patriarchal capitalist colonial modernity. This second feature is attested by novel framings of design praxes, such as those going on under the rubrics of decolonial design (Schultz, 2017;Schultz et al, 2018); designs of, for, by and from the South (Gutiérrez, 2015a(Gutiérrez, , 2015bAnsari, 2016;Fry, 2017b;Escobar, 2017) 2 ; design by other names; the decolonization of design (Tunstall, 2013;Ansari, 2016;Tlostanova, 2017;Vásquez, 2017); indigenous and multicultural design and visual sovereignty 3 ; alter-design (López-Garay and Lopera, 2017); design in the borderlands (Kalantidou and Fry, 2014); and autonomous design (Escobar, 2018). It should be stressed that these trends often overlap; they are diverse and heterogeneous, in some cases even within each trend.…”
