Abstract

Black captivity and colonial violence in New France are distinct but interlinked social formations. This article develops an analysis of captive-colonial violence in Canada by tracing how these two formations are interlinked in practice and in discourse. It examines two "inaugural" scenes: the capture of a "Black Mooress" on the coast of present-day Mauritania in 1441 and the 1603 meeting between a French expedition and the people they called "Savages" on the shores of the St-Lawrence River in Canada. The first pertains to anti-Black violence and captivity. The second pertains to colonial violence and genocide. While the two scenes are usually treated as analytically distinct, as well as temporally and geographically distant, this article brings them together. Doing so is important as it shows how the practical and discursive conditions leading to the two scenes overlapped and how each scene depends on the other. This reading of captive-colonial violence disrupts linear conceptions of time and discrete conceptions of geography to pull "distant" scenes into proximity. Through this approach, the article shows how the two scenes are interlinked in the formation of a new lingua franca of anti-Black violence and genocidal colonial violence in Canada, however different and/or incommensurable they may be.

加拿大的殖民计划开始于非洲
在新法兰西,黑人被囚禁和殖民暴力是截然不同但又相互联系的社会形态。本文通过追踪这两种形式在实践和话语中的相互联系,对加拿大的俘虏殖民暴力进行了分析。它考察了两个“就职”场景:1441年在今天的毛里塔尼亚海岸捕获了一只“黑驼鹿”,以及1603年法国探险队在加拿大圣劳伦斯河岸边与他们称为“野蛮人”的人相遇。第一个与反黑人暴力和囚禁有关。第二个问题涉及殖民暴力和种族灭绝。虽然这两个场景通常在分析上是不同的,并且在时间和地理上是遥远的,但本文将它们结合在一起。这样做很重要,因为它显示了导致这两个场景的实践和话语条件是如何重叠的,以及每个场景是如何相互依赖的。这种对俘虏殖民暴力的解读打破了线性的时间概念和离散的地理概念,将“遥远”的场景拉近了距离。通过这种方法,本文展示了这两个场景是如何相互关联的,形成了加拿大反黑人暴力和种族灭绝殖民暴力的新通用语,无论它们是多么不同和/或不可比较。
