Abstract:This essay proffers a response to three critical engagements with the author's 2019 Beyond Coloniality: Citizenship and Freedom in the Caribbean Intellectual Tradition. The author contextualizes Beyond Coloniality as a book that seeks to effect a challenging alliance between studies of the anglophone Caribbean's postindependence social and political order and scholarship on Caribbean thought. Ultimately, Beyond Coloniality engages in a quest for freedom beyond neocolonial citizenship.
摘要:本文对作者2019年出版的《超越殖民:加勒比知识传统中的公民与自由》一书中的三个关键部分进行了回应。作者将《超越殖民》作为一本书的背景,试图在以英语为母语的加勒比地区独立后的社会和政治秩序的研究与加勒比思想的学术研究之间建立一个具有挑战性的联盟。最终,《超越殖民》追求的是超越新殖民主义公民身份的自由。

Abstract:Margarita "Doña Margot" Rivera García (1909–2000) was a black working-class Puerto Rican woman whose labor as a composer, healer, midwife, and spiritual medium made her an esteemed community leader among her neighbors from Santurce, a predominantly black enclave in San Juan. Through her bomba and plena compositions, she helped forge modern black Puerto Rican music amid the rapid industrialization of Puerto Rico after the 1950s. However, her story has been overshadowed by the aura of her son, the legendary Afro–Puerto Rican singer Ismael "Maelo" Rivera (1931–87). Although Doña Margot is praised as a maternal figure who gave Maelo the gift of rhythm, her story as a woman and artist has remained widely unheard. This essay examines her parallel presence and erasure in salsa historiography, taking her testimonios about her musical gift as offering a counternarrative that defies masculinist music histories and serves as a site of memory that endures erasure.
摘要:玛格丽塔·里维拉García (Margarita“Doña Margot”Rivera García, 1909-2000)是波多黎各的一名黑人工人阶级妇女,她作为作曲家、治疗师、助产士和精神媒介的工作使她在圣胡安的黑人聚居区Santurce的邻居中受到尊敬的社区领袖。在20世纪50年代波多黎各快速工业化的过程中,她通过她的bomba和plena作曲,帮助打造了现代波多黎各黑人音乐。然而,她的故事被她的儿子,传奇的波多黎各黑人歌手伊斯梅尔·“马洛”·里维拉(1931-87)的光环所掩盖。虽然Doña玛戈特被称赞为赋予马洛韵律天赋的母性人物,但她作为女性和艺术家的故事却鲜为人知。这篇文章考察了她在萨尔萨音乐史上的平行存在和抹去,把她关于自己音乐天赋的证词作为一种反对男性主义音乐史的反叙事,并作为一个经得起抹去的记忆场所。

The Dual Biopolitics in the Cuban Postplantation of Gloria Rolando's Raíces de mi corazón 格洛丽亚·罗兰多的根·德·米·corazon的古巴移植中的双重生物政治

Abstract:This essay focuses on the "dual" biopolitics of Cuban filmmaker Gloria Rolando's Raíces de mi corazón (Roots of My Heart, 2001). In her film about an antiblack genocide in early-twentieth-century Cuba, Rolando seeks to recover the suppressed 1912 massacre of members of the black Cuban Partido Independiente de Color (the Independent Party of Color) and thousands of other Afro-Cubans through the plane of the intimate. The author argues that Rolando's film challenges the myth of racial equality throughout Cuba's modern history by celebrating Afro-Cuban traditions, from orisha rituals to patakíes (Afro-Cuban oral tradition), over a reappropriated plantational space in which black sensuality contests negative biopolitical forms. Rolando not only draws from transnational critical race theory to address the myth of Latin American exceptionalism, she also challenges Michel Foucault's conceptualization of biopolitics casting black sensuality over racial violence.
摘要:本文关注古巴电影导演格洛丽亚·罗兰多的《我心的根》(Raíces de mi corazón, 2001)中的“双重”生命政治。在这部关于20世纪早期古巴反黑人种族灭绝的电影中,罗兰多试图通过亲密关系的层面来恢复1912年被镇压的屠杀,屠杀的对象是黑人古巴彩色独立党(Partido independdiente de Color)成员和数千名其他非裔古巴人。作者认为,罗兰多的电影挑战了贯穿古巴现代史的种族平等神话,颂扬了古巴黑人的传统,从奥里沙仪式到patakíes(古巴黑人口头传统),在一个被重新占用的种植园空间里,黑人的性感与消极的生物政治形式相抗衡。罗兰多不仅借鉴了跨国批判种族理论来解决拉丁美洲例外论的神话,她还挑战了米歇尔·福柯将黑人性感置于种族暴力之上的生命政治概念。

Abstract:This essay reviews Aaron Kamugisha's reading of the works of C. L. R. James and Sylvia Wynter in his 2019 book Beyond Coloniality: Citizenship and Freedom in the Caribbean Intellectual Tradition. Kamugisha issues a resounding call to reenergize the radical Caribbean intellectual tradition, saving us from our own alienation, colonization, and ambivalence. This essay takes inspiration from Beyond Coloniality to respond to the climate-political-social-cultural crisis in the Caribbean and to think through the possibilities for futurity in relation to reparative justice and ecological repair. It considers how the multiple devastations of recent "unnatural disasters" in the Caribbean are the outcome of the coloniality of climate, the deadly logics of racial capitalism, and the persistence of antiblack racism globally. The coloniality of climate calls for attention to repair, care, and reparations. We need to ask, Who is responsible, who is harmed, and who should be accountable?
摘要:本文回顾了Aaron Kamugisha在其2019年出版的《超越殖民:加勒比知识传统中的公民与自由》一书中对c.l.r. James和Sylvia Wynter作品的阅读。Kamugisha发出了一个响亮的呼吁,重新激活激进的加勒比知识传统,将我们从自己的异化,殖民化和矛盾心理中拯救出来。本文从《超越殖民》一书中获得灵感,以回应加勒比地区的气候-政治-社会-文化危机,并思考与修复性正义和生态修复有关的未来可能性。它考虑了最近加勒比地区“自然灾害”的多重破坏是气候殖民、种族资本主义的致命逻辑以及全球持续存在的反黑人种族主义的结果。气候的殖民性要求我们关注修复、护理和赔偿。我们需要问,谁应该负责,谁受到了伤害,谁应该负责?

Gender and the Americanist James 性别与美国学者詹姆斯

Abstract:This review essay asserts that Aaron Kamugisha's 2019 Beyond Coloniality: Citizenship and Freedom in the Caribbean Intellectual Tradition, for all its brilliance, does not do justice to the thought of C. L. R. James, especially in relation to gender. After claiming that Kamugisha mostly misses the emancipatory and at times radical aspects of James's feminist thinking, which was developed most fully during his years in the United States (1938–52), the author allows that the omission appears to be not deliberate but an unintended consequence of Kamugisha's faithful following of the dominant North Atlantic interpretation of the "American James." In particular, the author sees Kamugisha as seeming to accept without question the hegemonic Americanist assumption that James took a romantic excursion in the United States, and thus Beyond Coloniality neglects the deeply gendered analysis at the heart of James's 1950 manuscript that eventually found publication in 1993 as American Civilization. Although James certainly never got out of "gender jail" in his lifetime, American Civilization betrayed his hopeful vision of escape. This essay proposes to Kamugisha that a careful and independent reading of this text could have revealed James as a far more sophisticated failure than the virtually helpless figure drawn in Beyond Coloniality.
摘要:本文认为,Aaron Kamugisha 2019年出版的《超越殖民:加勒比知识传统中的公民身份与自由》虽然非常出色,但并没有充分体现c.l.r.詹姆斯的思想,尤其是在性别问题上。在声称Kamugisha主要忽略了詹姆斯女权主义思想的解放和有时激进的方面之后,作者承认这种遗漏似乎不是故意的,而是Kamugisha忠实地追随北大西洋对“美国詹姆斯”的主导解释的意外后果。詹姆斯的女权主义思想在他在美国的那些年(1938-52)发展得最充分。特别是,作者认为Kamugisha似乎毫无疑问地接受了美国霸权主义的假设,即詹姆斯在美国进行了一次浪漫的旅行,因此《超越殖民》忽略了詹姆斯1950年手稿中深刻的性别分析,最终于1993年出版,书名为《美国文明》。虽然詹姆斯一生中从未走出“性别监狱”,但《美国文明》辜负了他对逃脱的希望。这篇文章向Kamugisha提出,仔细而独立地阅读这篇文章,可能会发现詹姆斯是一个比《超越殖民》中所描绘的实际上无助的人物更复杂的失败者。

Alternative Soundscape Paradigms from Kamau Brathwaite and the Mighty Sparrow 来自Kamau Brathwaite和Mighty Sparrow的另类音景范例

Abstract:This essay asks how the soundscapes represented in Caribbean literature and music provide alternative paradigms for conceptualizing noise and silence. As American and European sound studies have drawn from the writings of John Cage, Murray Schafer, and Jacques Attali to articulate alternative practices of listening and soundmaking, they have marginalized black experience. Caribbean noise, formed out of resistance to slavery and colonialism, has been excluded from informing those alternative practices. The depths of sonic experience revealed by soundscapes of Kamau Brathwaite's poetry and the Mighty Sparrow's calypsos concern the impact of centuries of Atlantic slavery on black hearing and speaking. They expose the racial and economic determinants of sound studies' advocacy of indifferent listening and pure sound environments. In contrast, Caribbean histories of resourceful hearing and soundmaking bring distinctive sonic cultures to challenge established listening practices and provide ways of questioning canonical definitions of noise and silence.
摘要:本文探讨了加勒比文学和音乐中的声景如何为理解噪音和沉默提供了另一种范式。美国和欧洲的声音研究从约翰·凯奇、默里·谢弗和雅克·阿塔利的著作中汲取灵感,阐明了倾听和发声的另类实践,他们把黑人的经历边缘化了。由于抵制奴隶制和殖民主义而形成的加勒比噪音被排除在外,无法为这些替代做法提供信息。卡马乌·布瑞斯韦特诗歌的音景和Mighty Sparrow的calypsos所揭示的声音体验的深度,关注了几个世纪以来大西洋奴隶制对黑人听力和语言的影响。他们揭示了种族和经济因素的声音研究倡导冷漠的听力和纯粹的声音环境。相比之下,加勒比地区丰富的听觉和发声历史带来了独特的声音文化,挑战了既定的听觉实践,并提供了质疑噪音和沉默的规范定义的方法。

Abstract:This essay introduces a special section on the Afro-Cuban poet and intellectual Nancy Morejón's 1982 book Nación y mestizaje en Nicolás Guillén (Nation and Mestizaje in Nicolás Guillén). It sets up the contributors by surveying the literary and political trajectory of Morejón's career in the years leading up to the publication of the book, focusing in part on her silencing by the Cuban state because of earlier activities centered on Afro-Cuban rights. The essay considers the themes and arguments of Nación y mestizaje, recognizing the surfaces, depths, and fissures of its actual and apparent doctrinaire lauding of Guillén as exemplar of Cuba's cultural politics.

Jews and Frenchies: The White Ethnic Minority in the US Virgin Islands 犹太人和法国人:美属维尔京群岛的白人少数民族

Abstract:Two white ethnic minorities, Jews and Frenchies, are rather unusual in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. The Jews arrived during the period of slavery and participated in the economic colonialism of islands, retaining a prominent position in the Virgin Islands. The Frenchies in St. Thomas arrived from St. Barths after slavery. These white minorities have expanded connections between friends and families as well as in their departed homeland and the Virgin Islands. Their strong religious beliefs and in-group solidarity allowed them to remain in the sociological and economic comfort zones of St. Thomas. In modern times, they have branched out from their insular zones and merged their mores and folkways and their peasant and professional ways, on their gradual terms, with those of other ethnic Virgin Islanders, bringing themselves closer to Virgin Islands society as evidenced by their younger generation.
摘要:在美属维尔京群岛圣托马斯,犹太人和法国人这两个白人少数民族相当罕见。犹太人在奴隶制时期来到这里,参与了对岛屿的经济殖民主义,在维尔京群岛保持着突出的地位。圣托马斯的法国人在奴隶制结束后从圣巴特来到这里。这些少数白人扩大了朋友和家人之间的联系,也扩大了他们在故土和维尔京群岛的联系。他们强烈的宗教信仰和群体内的团结使他们能够留在圣托马斯的社会和经济舒适区。在现代,他们已经从他们的孤立地带分支出来,并逐渐将他们的风俗习惯、农民和职业方式与维尔京群岛其他民族居民的风俗习惯、风俗习惯、农民和职业方式融合在一起,使他们更接近维尔京群岛社会,他们的年轻一代证明了这一点。

Abstract:This intersectional and epistemological study of Nancy Morejón's 1982 Nación y mestizaje en Nicolás Guillén resolves the tension, which intrigued most of her critics, between her political commitment and sophisticated lyricism. The author examines Morejón's unquestionable revolutionary support and adhesion to Guillén's conceptualization of la nación mestiza—instrumental for the cohesiveness promoted by the revolutionary regime—through the comprehensive analysis of her family socioeconomic background, the coincidence of her arrival to adolescence with the revolutionary triumph in 1959, and her affiliation to the editorial group El Puente (1961–65). Intersectionality allows an understanding of how Morejón's self-identification and self-representation as a black revolutionary female writer condition her elaboration of counternarratives that thwart the Eurocentric and patriarchally constructed national history. The essay reveals rarely examined contradictions between Morejón's and Guillén's poetry and discusses how the writers' shared essentialist views on nationhood fail to ultimately deconstruct the hegemonic Eurocentric epistemology they vowed to upend.

摘要:本文对南希Morejón 1982年的《Nación我是梅斯蒂扎伊Nicolás吉尔梅萨伊》进行了交叉认认论研究,解决了她的政治承诺与复杂的抒情之间的紧张关系,这引起了大多数评论家的兴趣。作者通过综合分析Morejón的家庭社会经济背景、1959年革命胜利与她进入青春期的巧合,以及她与El Puente编辑组(1961-65)的关系,考察了Morejón对guillemassn的la nación mestiza概念的无可置疑的革命支持和坚持。交叉性使我们能够理解Morejón作为一个黑人革命女性作家的自我认同和自我表现是如何影响她对反叙事的阐述的,这些反叙事阻碍了欧洲中心主义和父权制建构的国家历史。本文揭示了Morejón和guillemaden的诗歌之间很少被审视的矛盾,并讨论了作者对国家的共同本质主义观点如何未能最终解构他们发誓要颠覆的霸权的欧洲中心认识论。(西班牙语;网上有英文译本)
