霍米・K・巴巴（英語：Homi Kharshedji Bhabha；1949 年 11 月 1 日 —）是印度裔英國學者和批判理論家。他是哈佛大學 Anne F. Rothenberg 人文學科教授，是當代後殖民研究代表人物之一，在該領域提出了許多關鍵術語和概念，例如混雜性（hybridity）、模擬（mimicry）、差異（difference）和矛盾狀態（ambivalence）。在巴巴的理論中，這些術語描述了被殖民者反抗殖民者權力的方式。2012 年，他獲得印度政府頒發的文學和教育領域的蓮花裝勳章獎。他與律師兼哈佛大學講師傑奎琳・巴巴結婚，育有三個孩子。



理論

混雜性

「混雜性」（hybridity）是巴巴的核心思想之一，其借鑑了愛德華・薩義德的著作，用於描述多元文化主義中新文化形式的出現。巴巴並不將殖民主義視為過去的事，而是展示了殖民歷史和文化如何不斷侵入現在，從而要求我們轉變對跨文化關係的理解。他對殖民文本應用了後結構主義方法論，改變了對殖民主義的研究。

矛盾狀態

矛盾狀態（ambivalence）這一概念認為文化由對立的觀念和維度組成。巴巴稱，這種矛盾狀態 —— 被殖民的他者的身份分裂的二元性 —— 使得固有文化身份和殖民者文化身份的混雜體成為可能。矛盾狀態是殖民權力出現遲滯特徵的原因之一。權威的殖民能指只有在「殖民地差異、文化或種族的創傷性場景，使權力之眼回歸到一些先前的古老形象或身份」之後，才獲得它們的意義。「然而，矛盾的是，這樣的圖像既不能是『原始的』—— 因為構建它的重複行為 —— 也不能是相同的 —— 因為定義其自身的差異。」因此，殖民的在場仍然是處於矛盾狀態的，在其原始和權威的外觀與重複和差異的表達之間產生分裂。這打開了殖民話語的兩個維度：以發明和掌握為特徵的維度，以及以取代和幻想為特徵的維度。

文化差異、闡釋和刻板印象

巴巴將文化差異（cultural difference）視為文化多樣性（cultural diversity）的替代方案。在文化多樣性中，文化是「經驗知識的對象」，先於認識者而存在，而文化差異則將文化視為兩種或多種文化相遇的地方，也是大多數問題發生的地方，是推論建構的，而不是預先存在的，給定一個「將文化闡釋為『知識淵博』的過程」。闡釋（enunciation）是發生在第三空間（見下文）中的一種文化的表述、表達行為。由於文化從來不是預先給定的，所以它必須被說出來。文化差異是通過表達來發現和認識的。闡釋過程通過在政治當下的新文化、意義、戰略的表達，作為統治或抵抗的實踐，在穩定參考系中的傳統與對文化信念的否定之間產生了鴻溝。

因此，文化差異是一個認同的過程，而文化多樣性是一個比較和分類的過程。此外，正是這種差異和表達的可能性，可以將皮膚 / 文化的能指從種族類型學的禁錮中解放出來；然而，刻板印象（stereotype）阻礙了「種族」能指的流通和表達。殖民和後殖民話語的一個重要方面，是它們在建構他者時對「固定性」概念的依賴。固定意味著重複、僵硬和不變的秩序以及無序。刻板印象依賴於這種固定性概念。刻板印象創造了一種「身份」，這種身份既源於支配者的焦慮和捍衛，也源於支配者的掌控和愉悅，「因為它是一種多重、矛盾的信念，它承認差異又否認差異。」

模擬

和巴巴的混雜性的概念類似，模擬是對在場的轉喻。殖民社會的成員模仿並接受殖民者的文化時，就會出現模擬。雅各・拉岡稱：「模擬的效果是偽裝…… 這不是與背景協調的問題，而是在斑駁的背景下。」殖民模擬來自殖民者對經過改革的、可辨識的、作為差異的主體的他者的渴望，正如巴巴所寫：「幾乎相同卻不完全等同」（almost the same, but not quite）。因此，模擬是雙重發聲（double articulation）的標誌，一種將權力可見化的同時挪用他者的策略。此外，模擬是不適合（inappropriate）的標誌，是「一種差異或頑固，它凝聚了殖民權力的主導戰略功能，加強了監視，並對『標準化』知識和紀律權力都構成了迫在眉睫的威脅。」

這樣一來，模擬賦予了殖民主體一種部分的在場，仿佛「殖民地」依賴於權威話語本身中自己的表徵。諷刺的是，殖民者希望在模擬中 —— 通過書寫和重複的過程 —— 在這種部分表徵（partial representation）中將自己作為「原真」。另一方面，巴巴沒有將模擬解釋為對殖民者的自戀認同，即認為被殖民者不再是像殖民者一樣有行動能力的人。他認為模擬是一種「雙重視野，它在揭示殖民話語的矛盾狀態的同時，也打破了其權威。而這種雙重視角是由於 [他] 所說的殖民客體的部分表徵 / 辨識而產生的…… 它們也是加倍的形象，殖民欲望轉喻的部分客體，疏遠了那些主導話語的模式和常態，它們在這些話語中作為『不適合』的殖民主體出現。」

被殖民者的願望被顛倒了，因為殖民挪用如今產生了殖民者在場的部分視野；來自他者的凝視與來自殖民者的凝視相呼應，它分享了繼承的凝視的洞察力，這種凝視解放了邊緣化的個體，打破了人的存在的統一，而人本來是藉此擴展其主權的。因此，「觀察者變成了被觀察者，而『部分』表徵重新表達了身份的整個概念，並將其與本質疏遠了。」

第三空間

第三空間（Third Space）是一種模糊的區域，當兩個或更多的個人、兩種或更多的文化相互作用時，就會發展出這種空間（對比城市學家愛德華・W・索亞的第三空間概念）。它「挑戰了我們對文化的歷史認同感，即認為它是一種同質化、統一的力量，由原始的過去認證，在人民的民族傳統中保持活力。」這個矛盾的話語領域，作為闡釋的話語條件的場所，「取代了在同質、連續的時間內書寫的西方敘事」。它通過「破壞性的時間性闡釋」來實現這一點。巴巴聲稱「文化陳述和體系是在這種對立和矛盾的闡釋空間中建構的」。因此，對文化的內在原始性或純潔性的等級主張是無效的。闡釋意味著文化沒有固定性，甚至相同的符號也可以被挪用、翻譯、再歷史化和重新閱讀。

影響

巴巴在後殖民理論方面的工作在很大程度上歸功於後結構主義。巴巴所影響的重要人物和理論包括雅克・德希達和解構主義、雅各・拉岡和拉康精神分析學、米歇爾・福柯的話語性概念。此外，在 1995 年接受 W. J. T. Mitchell 採訪時，巴巴表示愛德華・薩義德是對他影響最大的作家。在社會科學領域，愛德華・W・索亞在巴巴的方法基礎上，改變了理解空間、行動和表徵的概念。
