I am excited to share my thoughts with you in this blog that aims to analyze some contradictions I have found within the decoloniality discourse in academia today. I will do this through the lens of a children\u2019s rights perspective. When scholars state that they are applying \u2018decolonial\u2019 thought in their writing, I often see more Eurocentrism and \u2018Western\u2019-centrism rather than a new perspective. I feel the need to remind people that there are many historic events that have taken place without Europeans nor Americans being there to witness and document them. Just because something is not written in your \u2018Western\u2019 history book, it doesn\u2019t mean it didn\u2019t happen. And these events missing from \u2018Western\u2019 history books may actually explain quite a bit about the world today as well as reveal different realities than those we see if we project European or American history onto other countries. We may eventually even start to question the use of the term \u2018the West\u2019 since it may be more of an obstacle than a category that helps us understand the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I have been passionate about societal questions since long before I studied political science and worked in journalism as well as in children\u2019s rights. My interest in the causes of inequality led me to the subject of trauma which, in turn, led me to the subject of movement: theatre, mime, dance, yoga, somatic movement, etc. Everything moves. I have found that being knowledgeable in multiple domains, and seeing the overlaps through associative thinking, have greatly sharpened my tools to make sense of movements and patterns in the world, across time periods, geographical space and cultures. I now find this to be an essential component of my ability to do any political or social science analysis. Direct experience through living in multiple cultures has, of course, also helped me become a little wiser with time (I shall hope). If any of these subjects interest you, please join me on this blogging journey, whether it be by simply reading the blog posts or by interacting with me. I would be happy to know what you think!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Bonjour !<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Je suis K et je fais des analyses politiques avant le petit-d\u00e9jeuner. Je suis ravie de partager mes r\u00e9flexions avec vous dans ce blog qui vise \u00e0 analyser certaines contradictions que j&#8217;ai trouv\u00e9es dans le discours sur la \u2018d\u00e9colonialit\u00e9\u2019 dans le monde acad\u00e9mique d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui. J\u2019aborderai ce sujet au travers la perspective des droits de l\u2019enfant. Actuellement lorsque je lis des textes avec, ce qui est cens\u00e9 \u00eatre une pens\u00e9e \u2018d\u00e9coloniale\u2019, je vois souvent davantage de l\u2019eurocentrisme (ou du centrisme li\u00e9 au monde \u2018occidental\u2019) que vraiment de nouvelles perspectives. Je ressens alors le besoin de rappeler que de nombreux \u00e9v\u00e9nements historiques se sont produits sans que les Europ\u00e9ens ni les Am\u00e9ricains ne soient l\u00e0 pour en \u00eatre t\u00e9moins et les documenter. Ce n\u2019est pas parce que quelque chose n\u2019est pas \u00e9crit dans un livre d\u2019histoire \u2018occidentale\u2019 qu\u2019elle ne s\u2019est pas produite. Ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements absents des livres d\u2019histoire \u2018occidentaux\u2019 peuvent en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 expliquer beaucoup de choses sur le monde d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui et r\u00e9v\u00e9ler des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s diff\u00e9rentes de celles que nous voyons si nous projetons de l\u2019histoire europ\u00e9enne ou am\u00e9ricaine sur celle des autres pays. Nous pourrions m\u00eame \u00e9ventuellement commencer \u00e0 remettre en question l\u2019utilisation fr\u00e9quente du terme \u2018l\u2019Occident\u2019, dans la mesure o\u00f9 il constitue possiblement davantage un obstacle qu\u2019une cat\u00e9gorie qui nous aide \u00e0 comprendre le monde.<\/p>\r\n<p>J\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 passionn\u00e9e par les questions soci\u00e9tales longtemps avant d\u2019\u00e9tudier les sciences politiques et de travailler dans le journalisme ainsi que dans les droits de l\u2019enfant. Mon int\u00e9r\u00eat pour les causes des in\u00e9galit\u00e9s m&#8217;a conduit vers le sujet du traumatisme qui, \u00e0 son tour, m&#8217;a conduit vers celui du mouvement : th\u00e9\u00e2tre, mime, danse, yoga, mouvement somatique, etc. Tout bouge. J&#8217;ai d\u00e9couvert que le fait d&#8217;avoir des connaissances dans plusieurs domaines, et de pouvoir observer leurs zones de rencontre gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la pens\u00e9e associative, m\u2019a donn\u00e9 de meilleurs outils pour appr\u00e9hender les mouvements et \u00e9volutions dans le monde, \u00e0 travers les p\u00e9riodes, l&#8217;espace g\u00e9ographique et les cultures. Je trouve d\u00e9sormais que ces outils me sont essentiels pour faire des analyses en sciences sociales. L\u2019exp\u00e9rience directe qui m\u2019est venue du fait de vivre dans plusieurs cultures m\u2019a \u00e9galement aid\u00e9 \u00e0 devenir un peu plus perspicace avec le temps (je l\u2019esp\u00e8re). Si l&#8217;un de ces sujets vous int\u00e9resse, rejoignez-moi dans ce voyage de blogging, que ce soit en lisant simplement les articles du blog ou en interagissant avec moi. Je serais heureux de savoir ce que vous en pensez !<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi! I am K and I do political analyses before breakfast.
