Abstract
Abstract:This article examines Coco Fusco's 2004 experimental video essay a/k/a Mrs. George Gilbert and its Black feminist return to the events that made Angela Davis an icon of Black struggle and liberation at the onset of the 1970s. Tracing Fusco's "epistolary aesthetic," I argue that a/k/a Mrs. George Gilbert can be read as a love letter to Davis that evokes the subjective singularity that often disappears behind her iconicity.
摘要:本文考察了可可·弗斯科2004年的实验视频散文《a/k/a George Gilbert夫人》及其黑人女权主义回归，回顾了20世纪70年代初使安吉拉·戴维斯成为黑人斗争和解放象征的事件。根据福斯科的“书信体美学”，我认为乔治·吉尔伯特夫人可以被解读为一封给戴维斯的情书，唤起了她的标志性背后经常消失的主观独特性。
