Abstract:

Recalling a traumatic memory was John Jennings's first foray into what he would later call the ethnogothic. Jennings uses making practices and art to create dark spaces that offer not fear or dread but sanctuary until viewers can truly deal with the monsters that attack their psyches. The monster is a portent of danger, a warning that one has transgressed, and an urging to atone for sins, all key aspects of the gothic. The ethnogothic incorporates these characteristics of the gothic but addresses the specific concerns of the racially oppressed, describing how various modes of violence imprint themselves upon the spirits of Black and Brown people. The ethnogothic offers a space to place trauma, name it, and then let it go so that one can move on to a better future.

摘要:回忆创伤记忆是约翰-詹宁斯第一次涉足他后来称之为民族哥特式的艺术。詹宁斯利用创作实践和艺术创造出黑暗的空间，这些空间提供的不是恐惧或害怕，而是避难所，直到观众能够真正应对袭击他们心灵的怪物。怪物是危险的预兆，是一个人犯错的警告，也是赎罪的敦促，这些都是哥特式的重要方面。民族哥特式融合了哥特式的这些特点，但又涉及种族压迫者的特殊关切，描述了各种暴力模式如何在黑人和棕色人种的精神中打下自己的烙印。人种哥特式提供了一个空间，让人们将创伤置于其中，为其命名，然后让其消失，从而走向更美好的未来。

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
