Abstract:Drawing on declassified Central Intelligence Agency files and the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) archives held at the University of Chicago, this essay investigates how the CIA and its cover organizations sought to manipulate the legacy of Leo Tolstoy as part of the larger Cultural Cold War. In 1960, the CCF marked the fiftieth anniversary of Tolstoy's death by organizing a conference that attracted a wide range of writers and academics from around the world. Secretly sponsored by the CIA, the Tolstoy gathering, which took place in Venice in the summer of 1960, was intended to counter similar events planned by the Soviets, which the CIA feared would portray the Russian novelist as a prophet of Bolshevism. In response, the West hoped to claim Tolstoy as a thinker whose individualist philosophy was unassimilable to either Marxism or capitalism. Essentially, they sought to secularize his Christian anarchism as a form of radical liberty. However, this essay argues, the intelligence community's appropriation of the humanities ultimately conflicts with the pacifist writer's antipathy toward state sponsorship of the arts and the weaponization of culture in the service of nationalistic agendas.
摘要:本文利用美国中央情报局(CIA)的解密文件和芝加哥大学文化自由大会(CCF)的档案,调查了CIA及其掩护组织如何试图操纵列夫·托尔斯泰的遗产,作为更大的文化冷战的一部分。1960年,CCF为纪念托尔斯泰逝世50周年,组织了一次会议,吸引了来自世界各地的作家和学者。由中央情报局秘密赞助的托尔斯泰聚会于1960年夏天在威尼斯举行,旨在对抗苏联策划的类似活动,中央情报局担心这些活动会将俄罗斯小说家描绘成布尔什维克主义的先知。作为回应,西方希望宣称托尔斯泰是一位思想家,他的个人主义哲学与马克思主义或资本主义都不可同化。从本质上讲,他们试图将他的基督教无政府主义世俗化,作为一种激进自由的形式。然而,本文认为,情报界对人文学科的挪用最终与和平主义作家对国家赞助艺术和为民族主义议程服务的文化武器化的反感相冲突。

Abstract:This essay presents the case for the analytic of "sonic transness" as a way to understand the gendered deployment of voice in the construction of racialized transgender subjectivities. Through a close reading of Christine Jorgensen's vocal performance in the 1962 Philippine film Kaming Mga Talyada (We Who Are Sexy), which includes autobiographical monologue, celebrity impersonations, and songs performed in English and Tagalog, this essay examines the place of Jorgensen's voice and sonic practices in her self-constitution as a global, aspirational, and cosmopolitan white trans subject. At the same time, by listening to the ways in which her voice fades in and out of broader trans histories, this essay's focus on Jorgensen's performance in the Philippines makes audible the global production and extraction of value from trans and gender-nonconforming voices.
摘要:本文提出了分析“声音跨性别”的案例,以此来理解在种族化的跨性别主体建构中声音的性别部署。通过仔细阅读克里斯汀·约根森在1962年菲律宾电影《我们是性感的》中的声乐表演,包括自传体独白、名人模仿以及用英语和他加禄语表演的歌曲,本文考察了约根森的声音和声音实践在她作为一个全球性的、有抱负的、,以及世界性的白人跨性别者。与此同时,通过倾听她的声音在更广泛的跨性别历史中逐渐消失的方式,本文对约根森在菲律宾的表现的关注,让人们可以听到全球从跨性别和性别不合的声音中产生和提取价值。

Editor's Note Mari Yoshihara We are delighted to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of American Quarterly. In the three-quarters of a century, the field of American studies has been a site of vibrant exchange of ideas and gone through dynamic changes in terms of the agents of knowledge production and objects of study, the approaches to archives and tools of analysis, and the framing of questions and articulations of arguments. The six essays in this issue perfectly exemplify the kinds of scholarship enabled by both the accumulation of knowledge through the generations and the bold challenges to, and departures from, existing modes of analysis. The six essays all interrogate, in various contexts and through diverse approaches, the politics and expressions of the nation, state, capital, rights, body, and life. The first essay, by Emily Holloway, examines the archive of mid-nineteenth-century New York City public health administration that tracked the transit of corpses through Manhattan. Through an analysis of the intersections of biopolitics and urban space, she illuminates the layered meanings of "speculation" and its relations to surveillance and abstractions of financial value. In the essay that follows, Allan Downey also approaches New York City but through a very different lens: Haudenosaunee men who relocated from Canada and the northeastern United States to Brooklyn to work as ironworkers and their families that established the community of Little Caughnawaga. Downey demonstrates that, at a time when Indigenous peoples were removed from urban spaces and "Indian authenticity" was perceived to be the opposite of modernity, Kanien'kehá:ka citizens were central to building modernity and rearticulated their own nationhood, community, and self-determination. The next two essays look at the global circulation of text, body, voice, and their meanings in the Cold War era. In "If Books Could Kill," Mark David Kaufman mines the declassified archives of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Congress for Cultural Freedom to illuminate how these state institutions sought to manipulate the legacy of Leo Tolstoy as an instrument of the Cultural Cold War. He shows that while the US intelligence community sought to champion Tolstoy as a thinker whose individualist philosophy was assimilable neither to Marxism nor to capitalism, such appropriation conflicted with the writer's antipathy to the weaponization of culture for nationalist agenda. In the following essay, "Sonic Transness," Emmanuel David offers a reading of Christine Jorgensen's vocal performance in the 1962 Philippine film Kaming Mga Talyada (We Who Are Sexy), to analyze her voice and sonic practices in [End Page v] her self-constitution as a global, aspirational, and cosmopolitan white trans subject. By focusing on Jorgensen's performance in the Philippines, the essay also brings out the global production and extraction of value from trans and gender-nonconforming voices. The last two ess
我们很高兴纪念《美国季刊》75周年。在过去的四分之三个世纪里,美国研究领域一直是一个充满活力的思想交流场所,并在知识生产的代理人和研究对象、档案的方法和分析工具、问题的框架和论点的表达等方面经历了动态变化。本期的六篇文章完美地体现了几代人的知识积累以及对现有分析模式的大胆挑战和背离所带来的学术成就。这六篇文章都在不同的背景下,通过不同的方法,对民族、国家、资本、权利、身体和生活的政治和表达进行了质疑。第一篇文章由艾米丽·霍洛威(Emily Holloway)撰写,研究了19世纪中期纽约市公共卫生管理部门的档案,这些档案追踪了尸体在曼哈顿的运输情况。通过对生命政治和城市空间的交叉点的分析,她阐明了“投机”的分层含义及其与监视和金融价值抽象的关系。在接下来的文章中,艾伦·唐尼(Allan Downey)也通过一个非常不同的视角来探讨纽约市:从加拿大和美国东北部搬到布鲁克林当铁工人的豪德诺索尼人,以及他们的家人,他们建立了小考纳瓦加(Little Caughnawaga)社区。唐尼证明,当土著居民被从城市空间中移除,“印度真实性”被认为是现代性的对立面时,Kanien' keh:ka公民是建设现代性的核心,并重新确立了他们自己的国家、社区和自决。接下来的两篇文章着眼于冷战时期文本、身体、声音的全球流通及其意义。在《如果书能杀人》一书中,马克·大卫·考夫曼(Mark David Kaufman)挖掘了美国中央情报局(cia)和文化自由大会(Congress for Cultural Freedom)的解密档案,阐明了这些国家机构是如何试图操纵列夫·托尔斯泰的遗产,将其作为文化冷战的工具。他指出,虽然美国情报界极力推崇托尔斯泰,认为他的个人主义哲学既不与马克思主义同化,也不与资本主义同化,但这种挪用与托尔斯泰对民族主义议程中文化武器化的反感相冲突。在接下来的文章“声音跨性”中,Emmanuel David提供了Christine Jorgensen在1962年菲律宾电影Kaming Mga Talyada (We Who Are Sexy)中的声乐表演,以分析她在[End Page v]中的声音和声音实践,她作为一个全球性的,有抱负的,世界主义的白人跨性主体的自我构成。通过关注乔根森在菲律宾的表现,本文还揭示了全球从跨性别和性别不一致的声音中生产和提取价值的情况。最后两篇文章阐明了种族化的法律机制,这些机制管理着有色人种的知识、话语、劳动和流动性。约瑟夫·科波拉(Joseph Coppola)通过跨学科的方法研究了围绕马丁·路德·金博士的形象、肖像、演讲和声音传播的法律机制,阐明了知识产权在粉饰金的遗产中的作用。科波拉通过展示法律的结构性承诺如何导致种族等级和经济不平等,阐述了塑造数字信息时代知识生产流动的权力动态。在最后一篇文章中,Eram Alam追溯了第一批在美国以外接受培训的亚洲医生在美国境内成为外国医学毕业生的转变和标准化过程。阿拉姆分析了验证身份、技能和能力的纪录片制度,表明纪录片程序主义作为跨移民劳工类别的种族化、纪律化策略运作。在《书评》中,佩吉·a·麦克金利讨论了最近三本促进民权运动学术研究的著作,j·t·罗恩研究了三本关于“黑人”的世界观实践、生态学和环境正义的书。在她的活动回顾中,“没有复仇!”“后特朗普时代的移民艺术”,Maria Liliana Ramirez讨论了Sergio de la Torre的展览,这是对副总统Kamala Harris 2021年在危地马拉演讲的艺术回应,背景是圣诞老人无证移民的历史……

Bodies in Transit: Speculation and the Biopolitical Imaginary 运输中的身体:思辨与生物政治想象

Abstract:This essay explores the Bodies in Transit archive, an artifact of mid-nineteenth-century public health administration in New York City. The ledgers, which tracked the transit of every corpse that moved through the island of Manhattan between 1859 and 1894 and categorized entrants by their cause of death, nationality, and occupation, present a unique lens through which I explore the intersections of speculation, biopolitics, and urban space. I first establish a conceptual framework of "speculation" by dissecting its etymological genealogy, the roots of which share a preoccupation with vision and sight. I note that in practice, the abstracting and rationalizing tendencies of speculation operate by envisioning, calculating, and coercing specific outcomes into realization. I apply this framework to Bodies in Transit to historicize the ways in which biopolitics, the means through which the state forms, represents, and manages populations, are indexed to speculative economic practices. I read Bodies in Transit through the framework of speculation to articulate a field of meaning that illuminates the complex material and epistemic conditions surrounding its implementation and utility. As I argue, the ledgers were a response to the acceleration of real estate speculation in Manhattan, a trend that incentivized property owners to disinter burial grounds to relocate corpses to rural areas, and thereby connected the speculative logics of real estate to those of public health, spatial order, and surveillance. By thinking across and through the layered meanings of "speculation," this essay illuminates how the state's economy of knowledge is intimately related to biopolitical practices of surveillance and abstract representations of financial value in the modern city.
摘要:本文探讨了19世纪中期纽约市公共卫生管理的一件文物——“过境尸体”档案。这些分类账记录了1859年至1894年间每一具穿过曼哈顿岛的尸体,并根据他们的死因、国籍和职业对进入者进行了分类,为我提供了一个独特的视角,通过这个视角,我探索了投机、生命政治和城市空间的交叉点。我首先通过剖析“思辨”的词源谱系,建立了一个“思辨”的概念框架,其根源与视觉和视觉有共同的关注。我注意到,在实践中,投机的抽象和合理化倾向是通过设想、计算和强制实现具体结果来运作的。我将这一框架应用于运输中的身体,将生命政治(国家形成、代表和管理人口的手段)与投机经济实践联系起来的方式历史化。我通过思考的框架来阅读《运输中的身体》,以阐明一个意义领域,阐明围绕其实施和效用的复杂材料和认知条件。正如我所说,账簿是对曼哈顿房地产投机加速的一种回应,这种趋势激励业主挖掘墓地,将尸体转移到农村地区,从而将房地产的投机逻辑与公共卫生、空间秩序和监视联系起来。通过对“投机”的层层含义的思考,本文阐明了国家的知识经济如何与现代城市中监视的生物政治实践和金融价值的抽象表现密切相关。

The Commodification of Dr. King, or What Intellectual Property Rights Did to Civil Rights 金博士的商业化,或者说知识产权对公民权利的影响

Abstract:While a large body of scholarship has emphasized the "Santa Clausification" of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, or King as a "harmless dreamer," most scholars neglect the legal apparatuses that enable (or disable) his image, likeness, speeches, and voice to circulate in the public sphere. This essay argues that intellectual property plays a vital yet undertheorized role in the whitewashing of King's legacy. Offering an interdisciplinary study of cultural history, visual analysis, and legal discourse, this essay shows that one unrecognized feature of the intellectual property system is its ability to manage civil rights discourse. It demonstrates how the structural commitments of the law—economic incentives for innovation, corporate licensing regimes, and copyright's possessive-individualist model of authorship—contribute to racial hierarchy and economic inequality. By thinking through the social justice implications of managing civil rights discourse, and by offering a model for what I call "counterstorytelling" on digital media where communities on YouTube and Twitter strategically reappropriate commercial uses of King's image, likeness, speeches, and voice on television and redeploy them for social justice causes, this essay creates space for engaging and resisting the power dynamics that structure the flow of knowledge production in the digital information age.
摘要:当大量学者强调马丁·路德·金(Martin Luther King Jr.)博士的“圣诞老人化”(Santa Clausification),或称金是一位“无害的梦想家”时,大多数学者忽视了使他的形象、肖像、演讲和声音能够在公共领域传播(或禁止)的法律机制。本文认为,知识产权在粉饰马丁·路德·金遗产的过程中起着至关重要的作用,但没有得到充分的理论化。通过对文化史、视觉分析和法律话语的跨学科研究,本文表明,知识产权制度的一个未被认识到的特征是其管理民权话语的能力。它展示了法律的结构性承诺——对创新的经济激励、公司许可制度和版权占有的个人主义作者模式——是如何导致种族等级和经济不平等的。通过思考管理民权话语对社会正义的影响,通过在数字媒体上提供一个我称之为“反叙事”的模式,YouTube和Twitter上的社区战略性地将金的形象、肖像、演讲和电视声音重新用于商业用途,并将其重新部署到社会正义事业中,本文为参与和抵制构成数字信息时代知识生产流动的权力动态创造了空间。

It demonstrates how the structural commitments of the law—economic incentives for innovation, corporate licensing regimes, and copyright's possessive-individualist model of authorship—contribute to racial hierarchy and economic inequality. By thinking through the social justice implications of managing civil rights discourse, and by offering a model for what I call \"counterstorytelling\" on digital media where communities on YouTube and Twitter strategically reappropriate commercial uses of King's image, likeness, speeches, and voice on television and redeploy them for social justice causes, this essay creates space for engaging and resisting the power dynamics that structure the flow of knowledge production in the digital information age.","PeriodicalId":51543,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN QUARTERLY","volume":"75 1","pages":"103 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47981354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
