初步了解有意简化——人物介绍讲得更多

沉默化不只是不去倾听：当听者不愿或不能听时，说话者学会把自己要说的话缩减——整个整个的认知方式就这样被排除在外。

密歇根大学的黑人女性主义认识论学者：沉默的造成，不只是通过不倾听（“证言噤声”），也通过使说话者自行缩减自己的证言（“证言窒息”）；有些认知压迫是内置于知识体系本身之中的。

Dotson took the term ‘epistemic violence’ from Spivak’s ‘Can the Subaltern Speak?’ (1988) and analysed it as a failure of audiences to take up speakers’ testimony (2011). K.

Dotson illustrated ‘testimonial quieting’ with Collins’s analysis of controlling images that deny Black women the standing of knowers (‘Tracking Epistemic Violence, Tracking Practices of Silencing’, 2011).

Dotson argued that Fricker’s two forms of epistemic injustice miss ‘contributory injustice’: marginalised groups have interpretive resources, but dominant knowers wilfully ignore them (‘A Cautionary Tale’, 2012).

立场

“Tracking Epistemic Violence, Tracking Practices of Silencing” distinguishes two forms of testimonial silencing. “Testimonial quieting” occurs when an audience fails to recognise a speaker as a knower at all – as Patricia Hill Collins showed for the controlling images imposed on Black women. “Testimonial smothering” occurs when speakers, anticipating that their audience is unwilling or unable to take up what they say, truncate their own testimony; the silencing then works through the speaker’s self-censorship, but its source is the audience’s “pernicious ignorance”. The term “epistemic violence” she takes from Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. Further papers widen Fricker’s account of epistemic injustice: “contributory injustice” occurs when marginalised groups do have concepts for their experience but dominant knowers wilfully refuse to take them up, and the deepest, “third-order” epistemic oppression is irreducible, because it is built into epistemological systems themselves and can only be addressed by changing them. In “How Is This Paper Philosophy?” she criticises a “culture of justification” in academic philosophy that requires work by diverse practitioners to prove its legitimacy against narrow standards.

生平与背景

Kristie Dotson came to philosophy late: she studied African American studies, business and English at Coe College and literature at the University of Illinois Chicago before taking her doctorate in philosophy at the University of Memphis in 2008. She taught at Michigan State University from 2008, latterly as professor of philosophy and of African American and African studies, and in 2021 moved to the University of Michigan, where she is University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Philosophy and of Afroamerican and African Studies. In 2023 she shared the Lebowitz Prize of the American Philosophical Association and Phi Beta Kappa with Susanna Siegel. Her work centres on Black feminist thought and epistemic oppression.
