Abstract:The mass incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II has usually been assessed in terms of devastating economic and property losses, racist profiling, and the abrogation of constitutional rights. However, survivors also claimed incarceration as an experience of individual and collective disablement. In a break from decorum, survivors testified about a range of mental and physical disabilities at the U.S. Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians Hearings (CWRIC) held across the United States in 1981. This article discusses how a grassroots redress movement for government restitution brought the experiences of disabled, chronically ill, and mad people into the Commission hearings. Informed by 1960s-1970s Asian American and Third World Women's movements, intergenerational redress organizing transmitted and amplified the subjugated knowledge of disabled survivors. These efforts to involve ordinary people in redress produced an unanticipated yet profound record of what I call carceral disability: the aggregate disabling effects of mass incarceration and state violence. I further deliberate on the unresolvable ambiguities and ongoing anticarceral legacies of the Redress Movement.

Abstract:This article examines Zina Saro-Wiwa's documentary project and video installation Eaten by the Heart, which explores intimacy, heartbreak, and love performances among Africans, both on the continent and in the diaspora. Considering the role of the erotic in how diasporic subjects conceptualize and negotiate their attachments to their homeland and host country, Akinbola argues that Saro-Wiwa marks the Black diasporic body as a site of erotic agency. In doing so, Saro-Wiwa simultaneously acknowledges and resists the burden of respectability and cultural norms that hide and dismiss the importance of emotional expression, intimacy, and vulnerability in the lives of African and African diasporic people.
摘要:本文考察吉娜·萨罗-维瓦的纪录片项目和录像装置作品《被心吞噬》(eating by the Heart)，它探讨了非洲人和散居海外的非洲人之间的亲密、心碎和爱的表现。考虑到在流散的主体如何概念化和协商他们对家园和东道国的依恋中色情的作用，Akinbola认为Saro-Wiwa标志着黑人流散的身体作为色情代理的场所。在这样做的过程中，Saro-Wiwa同时承认并抵制了尊重和文化规范的负担，这些规范隐藏和忽视了情感表达、亲密关系和脆弱在非洲和非洲流散人民生活中的重要性。

Abstract:This essay analyzes Lizzo's 2019 Tiny Desk Concert as an affective performance of call-and-response that provides insight into pleasurable transgressions of hegemonic boundaries to performatively spread love. Lizzo invites a transgression of these norms, eliciting a response from her physical and digital audiences to embrace the fat, Black, feminine abject as a means of self-love. Turning to the Black communicative technique of call-and-response, the essay illustrates the contours of the choric self-love Lizzo establishes with her audiences that transformatively reimagines a self-love that centers Black women's joy.

Abstract:This article is a nonconventional archival repository for the Colored Girls Museum in Germantown, Philadelphia, wherein I posit that the museum space is a radical love site through its curation of social relationships, spatial capacities, and navigation of time. Through the transformation of oral history with the museum's founder, Vashti DuBois, I fashioned an avant-garde memoir about how DuBois's own life story is a curation toward radical love that is held by a space. Specifically, I argue that radical love cultivated through the museum space provides a nexus for affective potential, interaction, and interdependence. The creative methodological approach has allowed me to provide a mirror, dynamic archive, and letter for Blackgirls to bear witness to themselves being centered and loved through narrative.

Abstract:In this essay, I examine how the Black digital diaspora have found belonging online by imagining intimate kinships with one another. Building on my personal experiences of following and engaging with the popular Instagram archive, @BlackArchives.co, I offer the term digital diasporic intimacy to describe the ways that the Black diaspora have used social media to come together and creatively participate in the construction of online communities.
