This chapter will consider the historical relationship between imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism, in terms of the historical implications of imperial wealth, colonial returns, capitalist demands, through the establishment of looking relations of power. In doing so, this chapter will work through the intersectionally pervasive political economies (such as racism, sexism, and classism) that impose systems of domination and forms of oppression on subordinates in relations of power and their subalternity. Because of the institutionalizing effects of domination and oppression, what arises is (super)exploitation of and (super)expropriation from the subalternity of subordinates in relations of power, by (super)profit extracted to benefit imperial wealth and colonial returns. From looking relations between the exploiter and the exploited, an understanding of imperial debt and colonial theft arises towards reparations, and what is described as a reparative gaze. This chapter will discuss how looking relations become reparations, laying bare what is owed to the subalterns (or subordinates in relations of power) in the form of an imperial and postcolonial wage for colonial-capitalist consequences.

摘要

This chapter will consider the historical relationship between imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism, in terms of the historical implications of imperial wealth, colonial returns, capitalist demands, through the establishment of looking relations of power. In doing so, this chapter will work through the intersectionally pervasive political economies (such as racism, sexism, and classism) that impose systems of domination and forms of oppression on subordinates in relations of power and their subalternity. Because of the institutionalizing effects of domination and oppression, what arises is (super)exploitation of and (super)expropriation from the subalternity of subordinates in relations of power, by (super)profit extracted to benefit imperial wealth and colonial returns. From looking relations between the exploiter and the exploited, an understanding of imperial debt and colonial theft arises towards reparations, and what is described as a reparative gaze. This chapter will discuss how looking relations become reparations, laying bare what is owed to the subalterns (or subordinates in relations of power) in the form of an imperial and postcolonial wage for colonial-capitalist consequences.
