Abstract:In Lindsey Stewart's work on social goods "akin to freedom," she shows that contemporary traditions for Black freedom and love have the capacity to be both liberating and limiting. This essay draws on Lindsey Stewart's on social goods "akin to freedom" to argue that bell hooks and Cornel West have a too-narrow understanding of freedom and love, so they miss out on practices and spaces they consider too "commodified/materialistic." Through this analysis, a different story about Black people, salvation, and love is told, one that compels us to see a resurgence of spirit work, of ancestral healing practices, in the trap, hookup, and consumer culture.

Abstract:The exclusion of Black women's contributions to social movements has left a gap in the narrative of Black love as revolutionary action. This article addresses the historical narrative by centering Black women and their participation in the 1970 Black Power movement in Trinidad and Tobago as Black love.

Lane and Perry conversation regarding their practice and friendship is presented. This discussion deepens their inquiries into Blackness, grief, mourning, vengeance, humor, and the physicality of survival. Taking place seven months into COVID times, they talk about how to create meaning out of the uprising for racial justice while managing their own grief as it both contracts and expands during a protracted, global pandemic whose end feels like a receding horizon.

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。
