“…Modern slavery is embodied in coercive labor practices such as indentured labor, debt bondage, forced labor, servitude, and human trafficking where people are exploited and “cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, deception, and/or abuse of power” (International Labour Organization, 2017, p. 9). The pandemic has intensified these problems, through its detrimental effect on prevalence, health outcomes, and detection of modern slavery practices ( Anti-Slavery International, 2020 ; Chandra et al, 2020 ; Smith & Cockayne, 2020 ; Trautrims et al, 2020 ). Underlying these effects have been four main shifts wrought by the pandemic.…”

“…Just as Chuang (2020) presses us to examine the macro forces involved with the emergence and global spread of COVID-19, we might do the same to unpack how vulnerabilities in camps are as engineered as the refugee crisis itself. They include but are not limited to: Fortress Europe policies that push desperate people into the sea and slave markets, US-led UK/EU-supported wars on Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Pakistan (Vine et al, 2020), colonialism and sustained underdevelopment (Escobar, 1994;Roy, 1995), and underpinning these, a racist US/EU military-industrial complex that sees Black, Brown and Arab bodies as wretched and expendable (Sa'di, 2021). Of course, this need not be.…”

COVID-19 is the most immediate of several crises we face as human beings: crises that expose deeply-rooted matters of social injustice in our societies. Management scholars have not been encouraged to address the role that business, as we conduct it and consider it as scholars, has played in creating the crises and fostering the injustices our crises are laying bare. Contributors to this article draw attention to the way that the pandemic has highlighted long-standing examples of injustice, from inequality to racism, gender, and social discrimination through environmental injustice to migratory workers and modern slaves. They consider the fact that few management scholars have raised their voices in protest, at least partly because of the ideological underpinnings of the discipline, and the fact these need to be challenged.

“…These place contemporary forms of violence within a long history of exploitation and erasure that began with colonization and slavery, and later advanced through "the civilizing mission of the secularized modernity" under pretenses of "development and modernization" (Mignolo, 2000: 22). They also reflect contemporary efforts to reinforce borders to prevent victims of Western military aggression from entering the West (Sa'di, 2020). Similarly, it is important to recognize that colonialism and modernity are inseparable from dominant forms of knowledge production (Mignolo, 2009;Smith, 2012).…”

“…New manifestations of this racist and reductionist tradition continue through emergent academic and policy fields (e.g. migration, security, and terrorism studies) that propagate anti-migrant, anti-refugee sentiments in ways that further objectify and victimize Black, Brown and Muslim peoples, especially those fleeing sites of Western military violence (Sa'di, 2020;Younis and Jadhav, 2020).…”

Researching violent contexts: A call for political reflexivity

Violent contexts are not “normal” research settings; they involve abuses, power disparities, and collective histories of violence that researchers should be alert to. Being unreflexive to these risks can cause harm in the form of objectifying people and context, normalizing violence, or silencing voices. Political reflexivity can equip researchers to better identify, understand and mitigate these harms, and where possible, challenge structures that do the marginalizing. We articulate political reflexivity through feminist standpoint theory, which asks researchers to critically examine their positionality and privilege in relation to the geopolitics of the research setting, epistemic privilege of marginalized participants, and political implications of their work. Practicing political reflexivity can help researchers situate their work along a “decoloniality continuum,” which includes research complicit with the maintenance of violence, a hybridity approach that aims to understand and challenge the (colonial) underpinnings of violence by centering marginalized knowledge, and research that seeks reparation or liberation, meaning redress and radical equality for marginalized peoples, ideas and histories. We conclude with a call for researchers to identify methods and paths to strengthen our understanding of political reflexivity, and to support efforts to decolonize knowledge.

“…Even nowadays, the misunderstanding between western and eastern cultures remains a severe issue. As Sa'di states, Orientalism still functions in such a globalized world, as it has shifted to be more concerned with culture and economy [2], which indicates the significance of distinguishing its impact on literary works.…”

Reexamination of Orientalism by the Protagonist’s Psychological Interiority in Concert with Setting Description in The Painted Veil

In The Painted Veil, the setting descriptions serve as an apparatus to reveal the protagonist Kitty’s mental or emotional status for that her psychological interiority is projected onto these external objects, which T.S. Eliot named Objective Correlative. Through this angle, this paper reexamines certain Orientalism related topics and previous critiques. This paper analyzes how Kitty’s psychological world and setting descriptions coordinate to indicate Kitty’s transformation. The transitional process of Kitty’s attitudes towards China and Chinese and the development of Kitty’s perception of life are explored. Intriguingly, this paper tempts to prove that some critiques against Maugham and the novel may be prejudice-oriented or evidence insufficient.
