Abstract

Abstract:This article discusses sorrow in terms of its resistant possibilities. It describes bodies of color as ontological sites of sorrow in the context of racism and xenophobia. This sorrow, however, does not condemn these bodies to hopelessness and erasure. Rather, it may constitute a rupture with a present that fails to acknowledge racist and xenophobic practices. In addition, it connects sorrow to the kind of melancholia that bodies of color experience given their being-in-worlds that consider them unwanted, unworthy, and disposable. By way of photographic analysis, this article also presents the notion of aesthetic unsettlement in order to point to coalitional possibilities across experiences and histories of woundedness, melancholia, and sorrow.

色彩的身体，悲伤的身体:论抗拒悲伤、审美不安与融合

摘要:本文从悲伤的抵抗可能性角度来探讨它。它将有色人种的身体描述为种族主义和仇外心理背景下悲伤的本体论场所。然而，这种悲伤并没有使这些机构陷入绝望和被抹去。相反，它可能构成与不承认种族主义和仇外行为的现状的决裂。此外，它将悲伤与忧郁联系在一起，这种忧郁是彩色身体在被认为是不需要的、不值得的、可丢弃的世界中所经历的。通过摄影分析，本文还提出了审美不安的概念，以指出跨越受伤、忧郁和悲伤的经历和历史的联合可能性。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
