Abstract

ABSTRACT In this essay, I examine the 17 November 1991 “African American Women in Defense of Ourselves” advertisement in the New York Times. The advertisement is a reflection of 1,600 Black women coming to the defense of Anita Hill after the Hill-Thomas Supreme Court Justice confirmation hearings. By analyzing how the advertisement’s authors came to the defense of Anita Hill while inverting Lewis Gordon’s idea of bad faith, building with Sylvia Wynter’s conception of Being as Praxis, attuning to Hortense Spillers’s description of Black women as Being for the Captor, and critiquing Kenneth Burke’s “Definition of Man,” I illuminate a logic of care, Being in Good Faith, that broadens rhetorical scholars’ understandings of the boundaries of what humans can care about and how humans can care.

在这篇文章中,我研究了1991年11月17日《纽约时报》上的“非裔美国妇女为自己辩护”广告。这则广告反映了1600名黑人女性在希尔-托马斯大法官确认听证会后为安妮塔·希尔辩护的情况。通过分析广告的作者是如何的Anita Hill在反相刘易斯戈登的恶意的想法,建筑与西尔维娅Wynter实践的概念,调协到霍顿斯史的描述黑人女性作为捕获者,并批评肯尼斯•伯克的“男人的定义,”我照亮保健的逻辑,在诚信,拓宽修辞学者的理解人类所关心的边界以及人类如何护理。
