| Summary: | The following discussion is intended as an exploration of the possibilities offered by a speculative and decolonial posture within reading practices. By reiterating the necessity for any stance to situate itself in order to reflect upon and question existing neo-colonial and white paradigms, this paper articulates a general and open-ended definition of the concept of speculative reading. In particular, it discusses the writings and readings that allow and summon discursive fluidity, both in form and in thought, where the imagination is able to once again become a potential horizon in a world where dominant realities and discourses contaminate and penetrate its perspectives.The analysis seeks to exemplify what a vulnerable interpretation—running counter to the aim of mastering the text as it does—allows in terms of paradigm shift and transfiguration of dominant postures. This is achieved via an exercise in speculative reading based on Benjanun Sriduangkaew's short story “We Are All Wasteland On the Inside” from the hybrid, four-handed book with Joshua Moufawad Paul, Methods devour themselves: A conversation (2018). Reflecting on decomposition and speculation from decolonial thoughts in parallel, I question my own affective experience of this type of reading and how it allows me to expose and critique the current limitations of the white and colonial imaginary, while also thinking outside its paradigms. |
