Whiteness and whiteness? Non-whiteness? Racialization? You are lost Lost? Courage, we will help you. All quotes are rigorously taken from articles in academic journals that have – they say – undergone double blind review and peer validation. Or pairs. As mind-blowing as that may seem.

America (n. masc.): Western country that symbolizes capitalism, whiteness, exploitation and systemic segregation. This is why its language (see English) is used to express the concepts (see Concepts) of decolonial sociology.
I have chosen here to translate " white supremacy » with “white hegemony” because, in French, the word “supremacy” rather refers to organized nationalist and racist movements. In English, “ white supremacy " refers not only to these groups but also to a mentality inherited from European colonization which poses the white race as a point of reference.

English (n. masc.): language of the colon thanks to which we can express ourselves better than in our miserable ethnic language. In English, concepts (see Concepts) and notions (See nothing at all, notions are less good than concepts) are clearer and speak for themselves. The language of the colon and the colon (not the organ) is concise, clear, transparent, intuitive and reflects the depth of thought better than French, for example. Thus, many approximations of origin – which would not pass any journal editorial – take on a different appearance in English. Saying that someone is “white” is racist; saying that they express their “whiteness” aggressively is intelligent. Talking about the hug society is a bit weak; talking about “care” makes you sound like a sociologist. So, a little morning exercise (morning practice). Consider the following statement taken from a very serious research review:
The concept of whiteness (whiteness) allows us to identify, analyze and critique the power dynamics at work in the social and cultural construction of white hegemony.
https://www.cairn.info/revue-diogene-2017-2-page-110.htm
This quote, therefore, could be translated as: "the concept (see Concept) of whiteness helps explain white power." In other words, the word created allows to illustrate the thesis defended. No kidding. Faced with the ineptitude of the French expression, we now understand better the interest of including the English calque whiteness which gives a thickness to the statement, a depth to the thought which without it would crash on the ground of controversy before the plane of discussion has taken off.
The colonization of minds by the dominant American culture is illustrated in the most cutting-edge scholarly literature, for example in this article curiously titled in French-American Creole “Plus blanc que blanc. Une étude critique des travaux sur la whiteness » :
Unlike in the United States or Great Britain, "racial" questions remain largely a scientific "unthought" for French researchers in the social sciences and, in fact, work in English on questions of "race" remained, until recently, poorly known in France.
https://www.cairn.info/les-nouvelles-frontieres-de-la-societe-francaise–9782707174536-page-129.htm
"Study on the whiteness": the French word having disappeared, we feel that the author's mind colonized by American thought makes our enterprise of decolonizing decolonialism urgent. We will add that on the theses registration site, there are no less than 240 theses written around the notion of "whiteness", 13 including the term "blancité" and 55 around "racialism". For comparison, there are only 15 theses devoted to epenthesis. That is to say.
Anthropology (n. fem.): Sociology. See Ethnology.
"Sex" is indeed a category of ordinary thought (using quotation marks). But to conduct an analysis sociological or anthropological, we need to use a distinct concept that allows us, precisely, to measure the gap in representations. I propose that the goal of gender studies should be, at this point, to stop working with ordinary definitions.

White.he.s (n. or adj., epicene): intellectual sociological construction that has nothing to do with the dermis or with color. That's why we say "white". "White" are all those who do not recognize themselves in an identity mistreated by the majority currents. The Irish and the Jews are white: "Thus, groups like the Irish, the Italians or the Jews and Jewesses in the United States, who were not perceived as white at the beginning of their immigration, have gradually been incorporated into the majority group (Ignatiev, 1995; Jacobson, 1999; Brodkin Sacks, 1998)." [source: here] .We will add:
it is about valuing epistemic diversity to challenge white hegemony and the domination of Eurocentric thought (Grosfoguel, 2010).

Whiteness (n. fem.): Claim or assignment of belonging by essentialization to the majority culture.
This means the possibility for the majority (in this case, the White and the masculine) to speak and to be spoken (in the sense of designating, naming)
https://www.cairn.info/revue-cahiers-du-genre-2017-2-page-205.htm
Capitalism [Where cacapitalism] (very masculine n.): 1- smelly substance (here) like everything that is masculine (see Oppressive) invented by the dominant white male (here) to strengthen domination over men. white.es dominated and nested categories deracialized intersectional. The first white reactionary in Western culture – Aristotle (here) – promoted the pernicious idea of individual property and private enterprise, fortunately undermined by the glorious Soviet proletariat.
2- As a system of social organization, it exacerbates the capacities of human beings pushed towards permanent creativity by stimulating competition which is the call for class, race and gender war.
One of the first to defend private property was the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC). He considered that property is one of the pleasures of life and that man cares more about what belongs to him than to what belongs to everyone else.

Racialized researchers (n. epicene): Sociology is concerned about the forms of pressure that could weigh on academic freedoms as well as on the freedom of expression of researchers.·s and more researchers·s racialized·e·s on which·le·s weigh ideological suspicions for reasons that only the whitened can understand: talking about racialism, whiteness, passing game religious, language reform in education or racialized culture is nevertheless legitimate. It is unfair to suspect them of lacking objectivity: moreover, no one has ever been able to prove that this was the case. None corpus does not attest to it.
More seriously, in the past we spoke of "researchers" while simply omitting to mention their sex or ethnicity, which supposedly interested no one, as long as they produced knowledge. For the internationalist PCF, for example, the question of ethnicity had no reason to exist, even if Marxism surprisingly managed to create experimental faculties (source). This paleontological era of research ends with the advent of gender, race and class which exclude “researchers”. The place of the intellectual must be given back to the “racialized” researcher. In an inclusivist concern, without any racism or concern for exclusion: on the contrary.
Unbolting (n. masc. but felt fem.): Deconstructivist performance by which the researcher objectively attacks symbols of oppression felt by third parties. Contrary to popular belief, it is a sought-after term that can be found in academic presentations and theses at Paris VIII:
Both of them got down to it unbolting false pretenses, hunting for automatisms, and questioning false securities linked to stereotypes and has the predetermination opportunities, social behavior.
https://www.theses.fr/1999PA081657 (Thesis)
The act of unbolting is the natural consequence of decolonial research; for after having searched well, the clairvoyant researcher cannot help but reveal the true nature of the world around him to his closest friends. To do this, armed with his wrench, he knocks down statues and destroys the ideas of adversaries – but with respect for diversity.
Decolonial (writing) (n. very feminine): Visibility of the French language freed from academic censorship. Inclusive writing is prescribed to fight against white heteropatriarchy.
the fight against "separatism" is become national priority […] We consulted the opinion of several academics and a political scientist who have made intersectional and decolonial questions a major part of their works. […] Norman Ajari conducted a thesis entitled “Race and Violence, Franz Fanon put to the test of the postcolonial” and he is also the author of Dignity or Death, Ethics and Politics of Race, Paruta to the editions The Discoverye (2019). He currently teaches in Philadelphia and since his university chair across the Atlantic
https://www.bondyblog.fr/societe/education/lassociation-des-chercheurs-de-la-pensee-critique-avec-le-terrorisme-est-une-accusation-tres-grave/
Nagging question: “In the political gesture of affixing the mark of the feminine as if it were a homogeneous category, are the defenders of inclusive writing not reproducing the same claim to universality as their white sisters and brothers of the 60s and 70s?”1.
Heteropatriarchal domination (n. fem. but still masc.): Essential operational concept from the sociology of combat exercised exclusively by men, white and owners of real or symbolic capital. It is explained by the consumption of meat stolen from women (source: here, thesis 2005). Anchored in our consciousness to the point of not being noticed, it is exercised:
"in the name of a symbolic principle known and recognized by the dominant as well as by the dominated, a language (or a pronunciation), a lifestyle (or a way of thinking, speaking or acting) and, more generally, a distinctive property, emblem or stigma, of which the most symbolically efficient is this perfectly arbitrary and non-predictable bodily property that is the color of the skin"
(P. Bourdieu)
Male domination is omnipresent and universal (men dominate women, children and domestic animals, cf. Corinne Fortier), it covers all areas of social activity and arrogates to itself the right not to construct itself through a narrative:
The white male alone has the right to represent everyone, the generality, the universal: this is certainly the privilege of whiteness and masculinity to be able to name according to one's own terms, irreducible to any tendency of the group"
https://www.cairn.info/revue-cahiers-du-genre-2017-2-page-205.htm
The "dirty paws of the dominant man"1 » leave their mark on grammar, domination is expressed there by the imposition of masculine agreements, the use of masculine forms to designate the generic. Hence the absolute necessity of intersectionality.
Inclusive writing (n. fem.): 1- Salutary enterprise of decolonization of spelling intended to fight against the Machiavellian strategy of "invisibilization" (see Invisibilization) of women by Men (see White) by the insertion of cabalistic signs or obscure talismans fighting against masculinist black magic (see Masculinist).
So, we write "blanc.he.s" but we read "Abject Colon and Pardonable Colonne". Which is still more visible.
2- Since 2019, moral and courtesy precept freeing itself from runes to use encompassing periphrases. Thus, we no longer say "Dear friends" but "Dear friends and dear friends", or even according to one's degree of awakening in the decolonial faith: "dear.es friend and friends" - emphasizing the midpoint (see Radicalism). This is inclusive.
Students (n. epicene plural): concept of discourse that refers to a category of dominated people who are sometimes racialized. They are less dominated when they are white thanks to the dermochromatic privilege that they did not choose (see Possibility of debleaching). The submission of this category of population to the Power and Desire of the dominant is artificially created by the systemic racism of the State which imposes on them racial-gendered subalternity within inequitable hierarchical relationships. Category exposed to the ontological violence inscribed in Western metaphysics by a structural relationship of power expressed by the system of subjectivation of colonial knowledge.
Ethnology (n. fem.): Sociology. See Linguistics.
The first wave of feminist criticism in France (sociology and ethnology)
https://journals.openedition.org/jda/5267
We will also read:
Remarkably, the primitivist ideology that one might believe to be the business of ethnologists alone proves to be essential to the foundation of sociology.
https://www.jstor.org/stable/25132228?seq=1
Far right (n. fem. but felt masc.): spatial expression that refers to the extremity of the concept that is synonymous with the Evil One. Includes all those who do not understand the emancipatory necessity of socio-historical-political-linguistic decolonialism and question its epistemological foundations. A twilight nebula that includes anti-communists, fundamentalists, chouans, militiamen of the Sacré-Coeur, anti-Semites, partisans of Israel, anti-Arab racists, pro-Palestinians, white bourgeois feminists, Jewish Zionists, pro-Zionist goys, reactionary psychoanalysts (Here), left-wing philosophers but who are wrong, anti-Marxists, conservatives, revolutionaries, counter-revolutionaries, defenders of secularism, Catholics, anarchists….
Feminisation (profession names) (n. fem.): salutary enterprise of decolonization of profession names by the creation of feminine words intended to reassure lawyers, directors, novel authors, university professors, bosses and all women in power on the fact that we have understood that they are the bosses. Not to be confused with Inclusive Writing (see Inclusive Writing).
Feminism (n. fem.): or “feminist criticism”: Sociology.
The first wave of feminist criticism in France (sociology and ethnology) freed the term “sex” from the matrix of biology.
https://journals.openedition.org/jda/5267
Women (n. fem.): metaphysical category likely to refer to the observable reality by which we count the victims of a system of oppression (moreover, see Man). We will be careful, however, and we will be careful, not to fall into simplistic and ancestral oppositions of the type "Man = war / Woman = love": it is a patriarchal cliché. The opposition designated here is sociological (Man is a dominant warrior; woman, a victim of heteropatriarchal exploitation (see Heteropatriarchal domination).
Gender, in fact, is not only an intellectual knowledge. It is also and above all a feeling, an experience, a conviction or an obviousness for most humans, by virtue of which each individual indefectibly experiences himself as belonging to one of the two genders, masculine or feminine.
https://www.cairn.info/revue-annuel-de-l-apf-2015-1-page-159.htm
Can a woman be a white man? Yes, absolutely, to the extent that "woman" and "white" are sociological constructs. It is therefore not an ontological question, as in the old philosophy, but a question of degree of integration into the majority culture. (source: here)
Heterosexuality (n. fem.): oppressive political regime built on the falsely scientific definition of a sexual difference which would imply the binarization of humanity into social classes of women and men from which one can escape [source: here]. It is the cornerstone of capitalism, because heterosexuality presupposes the absence of wages for reproductive work. It is characterized by systemic violence imposed on society. It is based on an oppressive system characterized by rape (physical, consensual) carried out by bosses, fathers, neighbors.
Men (n. most often masculine): sociological [or discursive] construction1] – disconnected from any biological relationship – designating the beneficiaries of a system of oppression. Moreover, as they say in EPS:
It is now accepted that gender is a social construct referring to a system of norms and stereotypes linked to sex producing hierarchies between men and women.
https://www.cairn.info/revue-recherches-en-didactiques-2014-2-page-133.htm
Synonym: dominant, boss, father, exploiter, colonist, master, exploiter, profiteer, capitalist, white, evil, devil.
BRAND (n. fem.): Contradictory character of that which has a sociological, biological, genetic and cultural definition. Object of contestation when it is consensual, it is imposed by the subject on his entourage without consultation or prior notice. Pessoa's poetic affirmation:
"I am diverse for another of a me that I don't know if it exists"
PESSOA Fernando, The path of the serpent, "The non-existent clique", Letters, journal pages and thoughts on the self and others , “A Room of Mirrors,” op. cit., p. 170.
This statement takes on its full meaning when it leaves the literary (metaphor [see Metaphor] not existing, the literary is seriously undermined) to enter fully into the daily reality of a show where a bearded man white can state without flinching or being contradicted that "he is a woman1"Beyond the question of the binarity of the worldview imposed by the patriarchal cultural frameworks of the religions of the Book, the question of the claim of identity arises when it contradicts the affirmation of gender:
There are also surprisingly high numbers of lesbian trans women and surprisingly few gay trans men (Motmans, Meier & T'Sjoen, 2010).
http://www.infotransgenre.be/m/identite/concepts/preference-sexuelle/
In the example above, we will be surprised by the adverb “surprisingly” which shows how urgent it is to decolonize decolonialism.
Intersectionality (n. fem.): Interdisciplinarity applied to the study or denunciation of whiteness (see Blanc). “At once a tool, method and object of research, intersectionality varies in its uses and definitions (Bilge, 2009, 2010, Fassin et al., 2015)”[source: here]
Invisibility (n. fem.): magical power of language that makes certain majority minorities inaccessible to either the eye or the ear. This state characterizes above all social and gender groups, essentially women, constructed by men, like all other categories of the oppressed (here). Invisibility comes from a common agreement of the makers of the language (here), pianos and medicines (here) who aspire to global masculinist hegemony. The most invisible categories of women: magistrates, lawyers, professors, authors, writers, surgeons, ministers.
Linguistic (n. of – in – fem.): Sociology. See Feminism.
Mâle (very masculine n.): Bad. (see White)
Masculinist (n. very masculine): colon. Synonym: "white" or "fascist". See "evil".
Metaphor (n. fem.): figure of speech that does not exist, like no trope elsewhere. See on this subject in particular P Schulz, Saussure and the figurative sense - or why metaphor does not exist, Les Cahier du CIEL, University of Paris, 2003. Thus, speaking of the “identity trap” or the “border man” to be combated is NOT a metaphor.
Non-whitening (n. fem.): To claim to belong to a culture opposed to whiteness.
"This discourse paradoxically goes hand in hand with the idea that non-whiteness is non-European (El-Tayeb, 2011). In other words, Europeanness is tacitly associated with whiteness, which thus constitutes an implicit norm, while non-white European citizens, who are undervalued in racial relations (Guillaumin, 2002; Ndiaye, 2008), suffer structural discrimination."
https://journals.openedition.org/traces/6414 ; https://www.cairn.info/encyclopedie-critique-du-genre–9782707190482-page-539.htm
Oppressive (adj. always masc.): Attribute of any being or technique – with the exception of art1 – which exerts an objective constraint on the subject revealing non-oppressive counter-techniques, which are the object of good and true sociology.
The case study is presented subsequently using the anti-oppressive language favored by the students involved.

Racialization (n. fem.): Jean-Paul Payet writes that "the concealment of ethnicity at school appears to lead to the hidden implementation of a series of subtle discriminations to the detriment of children of foreign origin and their families" (source: 1992, p. 60). We will remember for example the notion of racialization of sexism:
"One issue is to know if there are specific experiences and processes of ethno-racial and gender-based marginalization at school, which cannot be analyzed solely through the prism of social class relations. For example, can the construction of figures of danger, submission and radicalism that surround families and students categorized as Muslims [Hajjat and Mohammed, 2013; Orange, 2016] be read through the prism of the "racialization of sexism" [Hamel, 2005] by and within the school institution?"
https://www.cairn.info/revue-travail-genre-et-societes-2019-1-page-147.htm#
Racialization as an ongoing process questions research:
This doctoral research questions the construction of subjects and identities (individual and collective) in a French colonial and postcolonial context, in the 20th century, in which race and skin color are structuring markers of self-awareness, otherness and social relations.
https://www.theses.fr/2014PA070026
Religion (n. fem. but masc. in fact): Christian, Western, heteropatriarchal, cis and therefore white invention resulting from “cognitive imperialism” and “epistemic violence”1 ". They are the exclusive property of Religious studies.
“Christian invention only relevant in a Western context” (CNRS source).
https://www.lemonde.fr/le-monde-des-religions/article/2020/11/15/le-concept-de-religion-est-une-invention-chretienne-seulement-pertinente-dans-un-cadre-occidental_6059789_6038514.html
Example: “Christianity is a religion. Islam is not.”
seminar (n. masc.): type of colonization of the university space by the masturbatory production of masculinity as the etymological root of the word "seed" obviously proves. Moreover, when we attend a "seminar", we hear "seed" and we avoid drinking in the words of the speaker because it is disgusting. It is therefore a gerontolectal variation of the heteropatriarchal vocabulary, currently under deconstruction. We will now speak of "ovular" which will avoid going to cook an egg.
Meaning of words (n. masc.): Old concept (syn. "thing", "thingy" - see Concept) of Western philosophy overtaken by that of social construction against which the individual fights who opposes to the essentialization of identity a proper affirmation of personal or community feeling (which is the same). Ex: "This white man is a racialized woman" (see Man; see Whiteness; see Woman; see Racialized).
Science (n. fem.): state which corresponds to the desire to know
to discover things as they really are, regardless of what people have previously claimed and what they currently desire
norbert elias The Social Dynamics of Science. Sociology of Knowledge and Science, p.239. I followed my own path, p.74
It must be progressive (because otherwise, it is not a science) and exclude all activism, except that of true queer, non-white feminist inclusivist science. Its goal is to seek the true foundations of discrimination and oppression by distinguishing them from false, reactionary and illusory explanations. Based on empirical methods, it is careful not to distance itself from its object of study when it comes to humans, so as not to objectify it (here ). Does not depend on the dominant discourse, politics or research funding plans. It is strictly reserved for young people, preferably racialized and some retired.es awakened who correspond to objective scientific standards, carefully defined by the method of intersectional inclusion.
sexism (n.masc.): paradoxical achievement of genetically determined psychological balance acquired by inheritance, at the same time as it is built not the discourse on culture. It affects beings of male sex and gender. It is characterized by the syndrome known as "dirty paws everywhere" (see "heteropatriarchal domination"), by not wanting to clear the table at the end of the meal, by practicing the "male gaze" and "eye rape" in a uncontrolledMore intentional. Observed in the Paleolithic era by contemporary researchers (here), this innate-constructed disease varies according to geographical areas: for example, it is more present among the Mundugomors than among the Arapesh (here). They do not cure it, but the condition can be treated by deconstructing the discourse of the guilty gender.
Nb: not to be confused with “masculinism”, which is an essentialist identity assignment of avowed sexists.
Structures (n. masc.): constraints exerted on the free thought of oneself and the redefinition of the identity of each person's feelings, instructed in its foundations by the Republican Institutions (school, language, secularism) which are "Caudine forks" subjecting populations to a diktat AS the colonizer formerly subjected the colonized to the oppressive dictatorship. From there comes the idea that we must get rid of it.
Be careful, since the metaphor (see Metaphor) does not exist, this is not a metaphorical colonialism (QED) but a real political oppression exercised by an illegitimate power. Like any power. Except academic.
"The postcolonial approach allows us to concretely imagine an "other feminism" free from Caudine forks of the Republic and secularism. In this, the detour via feminisms from the South, in this case here in the land of Islam, allows us to put republican feminism into perspective with universal scope.
https://www.cairn.info/revue-tiers-monde-2012-1-page-125.htm
Universalism (n. masc.) – a notion to be deconstructed, like all notions, because it is based on the erasure of identity differences, the invisibility (see Invisibility) of skin color and the forgetting of ethnic belonging in favor of often appropriate cultural belonging. Universalism ignores the religion of the Other, promotes Islamophobia, it is at the root of ethno-racial discrimination by the state apparatus, because it claims to obscure racial origins which are part of the construction of the nation. Without forgetting that race only exists as a phenomenon of discourse, E. Balibar specifies that racism is a type of universalism (here) and that the discussion of racism contributes to making racists the universalists who question their identity. Racism is thus a form of the universalism of difference and universalism is the universal essence of the particularism that founds identity. (here). There is also sexism which is part of universalism (see Sexism).
Victim (feminine noun): polysemiotic sign, used in various fields of construction and deconstruction studies.
1/ non-white or in the process of becoming white, racialized man(s), women, men, children who are taken for women, men and children when they are not (see here), migrants, oppressed Palestinians, fat people, thin people, deaf people, short people, tall people, blind people, disabled people, students, indigenous people of the republic, indigenous people of America, fat people, lost people, desperate people, young people, racialized disadvantaged people, domestic animals, plants, etc.
2/ individuals who are taxed for pronouns that they did not choose.
3/ ((religious) Islam in France, people shot dead by the police and to.au/aux all citizens oppressed by state racism.
White (n. or adj., epicene): see Blanc.he.s, but better because clearer because in the American language.
Wok.e (n. epicene): traditional dish of Chinese cuisine (see Cultural appropriation).
