The term Afropolitan—evoking the image of mobility, cultural production, and consumerism in Africa and the African diaspora—has enjoyed some salience in popular culture. However, much of the scholarly debate has focused on the elitism associated with the concept. Linked initially to short reflective pieces by Taiye Selasi in 2005 and Achille Mbembe in 2007, Afropolitanism has rarely been analyzed in historical contexts. The contributors engage the concept of the Afropolitan across a broad time and space that spans the fourteenth to twenty-first centuries and locates the Afropolitan in Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Asia. This introduction analyzes their written and photographic essays along three themes: visual culture, narrativity, and intersectionality, recognizing that their work also pushes against and expands on these frameworks. By engaging with the Afropolitan as a historical phenomenon, the issue highlights new methods and theories for analyzing global diasporas—past, present, and future.
非洲人一词唤起了非洲和非洲散居者的流动性、文化生产和消费主义的形象,在流行文化中享有一定的知名度。然而,许多学术辩论都集中在与这个概念相关的精英主义上。非洲政治主义最初与2005年Taiye Selasi和2007年Achille Mbembe的简短反思作品联系在一起,很少在历史背景下进行分析。作者对非洲人的概念进行了跨越14世纪到21世纪的广泛时间和空间的探讨,并将非洲人定位在非洲、美洲、欧洲和亚洲。这篇导论分析了他们的书面和摄影文章的三个主题:视觉文化、叙事和交叉性,认识到他们的工作也推动和扩展了这些框架。通过将非洲人作为一种历史现象来研究,本期突出了分析全球移民的新方法和理论——过去、现在和未来。

This article recovers the Afropolitan histories of Liberated Africans by examining their mobility and freedom politics. Liberated Africans enacted Afropolitanism when they returned from Sierra Leone to Old Calabar and fashioned themselves into Black Englishmen. Their Afropolitanism incorporated a dissident mode of Anglo-cosmopolitanism, thereby undermining orthodox British visions of imperial subjecthood. In using petitions to British authorities to assert their identity as British subjects, they secured their precarious freedom but challenged British monopoly of the Bight of Biafra’s transatlantic palm oil trade. Rather than being mere recipients of abolition, Liberated Africans refashioned abolition. They used forged “freedom papers” to emancipate, repossess, and traffic slaves from Old Calabar society while defending their behavior as “redemption” of slaves. Contrary to imperial fixity of African subjects, Liberated Africans evinced an Afropolitan vision of belonging. They simultaneously claimed to be natives of Sierra Leone and Old Calabar. Their contradictory ideologies and practices mitigated their marginality and confounded African elites and British imperial agents.
本文通过考察被解放的非洲人的流动性和自由政治,还原了他们的非洲历史。当被解放的非洲人从塞拉利昂回到老卡拉巴尔时,他们实施了非洲主义,并将自己塑造成英国黑人。他们的非洲主义融合了英国世界主义的异见模式,从而破坏了正统的英国帝国服从观。他们向英国当局请愿,以维护自己作为英国臣民的身份,确保了他们不稳定的自由,但挑战了英国对比夫拉湾跨大西洋棕榈油贸易的垄断。解放后的非洲人不仅是废除死刑的接受者,还重新废除了死刑。他们使用伪造的“自由文件”从旧卡拉巴尔社会解放、收回和贩卖奴隶,同时为自己的行为辩护,称其为对奴隶的“救赎”。与非洲臣民的帝国固定性相反,解放后的非洲人表现出了一种非洲主义的归属感。他们同时声称自己是塞拉利昂和老卡拉巴尔的本地人。他们矛盾的意识形态和做法减轻了他们的边缘化,并使非洲精英和英国帝国特工感到困惑。

Blackness out of Place 黑度不合适

This article explores how historical narratives and aesthetic models configuring Portuguese imperial visuality produced the absented presence of Africa and its diasporas. Despite centuries of interconnected histories of colonial domination and enslavement, but also marronage and resistance, Black subjecthood was reduced in Portugal to a “foreign” presence. These silences ossify a regime of imperial visuality premised on the hegemonic overrepresentation of white masculinity—rendered through depictions of “navigators” as paragons of historical agency. Through the analytic countervisual quilombismo, this essay confronts such elisions by engaging with Achille Mbembe’s Afropolitan call to “produce new images for thought.” Focus on countervisual maroon (quilombismo) methods of refusal and fugitivity reveals the enactment of Black sovereignty and affirms Blackness as being. By affirming Black life and autonomy, diasporic artists, performers, and everyday people interrupt colonial frames, refusing the ethnographic reduction of Blackness to a body and its classificatory markers, thus revealing possibilities for different pasts, presents, and futures.
本文探讨了构成葡萄牙帝国形象的历史叙事和美学模式是如何产生非洲及其散居者的缺席的。尽管葡萄牙有数百年相互关联的殖民统治和奴役历史,也有破坏和抵抗的历史,但黑人的从属地位在葡萄牙已经沦为“外国”存在。这些沉默僵化了一个以白人男子气概霸权过度代表为前提的帝国形象政权——通过将“航海家”描绘成历史能动性的典范来呈现。通过分析性的反视觉平衡主义,本文通过与阿契尔·姆本贝的阿夫罗波利坦呼吁“为思想创造新的图像”相结合来对抗这种省略。重点关注反视觉栗色(平衡主义)的拒绝和逃亡方法,揭示了黑人主权的确立,并肯定了黑人的存在。通过肯定黑人的生活和自主权,散居的艺术家、表演者和普通人打断了殖民主义的框架,拒绝将黑人的民族志简化为一个身体及其分类标记,从而揭示了不同过去、现在和未来的可能性。

Does Afropolitanism Apply to the Americas? 非洲政治主义适用于美洲吗?

Afropolitanism, as a concept, is a practice that has been carried out in Abya Yala since colonization. As a term, it is a novelty in the face of anti-hegemonic customs and experiences that have always been carried out to decolonize the continent. In any case, it substantiates or names something that already exists. Afropolitanism is a recognition of the positive of African descent and the result of years of anti-colonial actions.
非洲政治主义作为一个概念,是自殖民以来在阿比亚亚拉实施的一种做法。作为一个术语,面对反霸权的习俗和经验,它是一个新奇的事物,这些习俗和经验一直是为了使非洲大陆非殖民化而进行的。在任何情况下,它都证实或命名了已经存在的东西。非洲政治主义是对非洲人后裔的积极作用的承认,也是多年反殖民行动的结果。

Racial Storytelling in the Classroom 课堂上的种族故事

As awareness of “narrative persuasion” surfaces into collective consciousness in the present-day United States, alongside struggles over whether and how to grapple with histories of slavery and racism, the stakes around racial storytelling in the classroom—around which stories about race and belonging get told or cast aside—have become abundantly clear. The power of stories to shape and naturalize beliefs can be mobilized for racist, dehumanizing purposes. But educators at any level can also harness the power of storytelling for anti-racist purposes. They can teach students to become skeptical of existing racial stories and expose their disempowering mechanisms and effects by envisioning racial storytelling as a subject of historical analysis. Educators can also use racial storytelling as a critical method for historical reconstruction, guiding students in composing new racial narratives grounded in historical methods and anti-racist principles. This essay discusses these dual uses of racial stories in the classroom, drawing on the author’s experience teaching across disciplines, languages, and sources.
随着“叙事说服”意识在当今美国的集体意识中浮出水面,以及是否以及如何应对奴隶制和种族主义历史的斗争,课堂上讲种族故事的利害关系——关于种族和归属的故事被讲述或抛弃——变得非常清楚。故事塑造和归化信仰的力量可以被动员起来,用于种族主义和非人性化的目的。但任何级别的教育工作者也可以利用讲故事的力量来达到反种族主义的目的。他们可以教学生对现有的种族故事持怀疑态度,并通过将种族故事设想为历史分析的主题来揭露其失去权力的机制和影响。教育工作者还可以将种族故事作为历史重建的关键方法,指导学生根据历史方法和反种族主义原则创作新的种族故事。本文利用作者跨学科、跨语言和跨来源的教学经验,讨论了种族故事在课堂上的双重用途。

In this photo essay, the authors gather a set of photographs of only partially visible subjects to speak about the tense and unpredictable encounters between different postcolonial histories. Staged as a conversation between an anthropologist and a photographer, the essay touches on the necessary modalities of such encounters, be it surprise, friendship, location and dislocation, or sometimes even invisibility. Central to the essay are conversations about encounters between the authors themselves, mediated by the sights, sounds, and serendipities of the postcolonial city. Using the Invisible Borders Trans-African Project—a decade-long venture bringing together artists, photographers, and writers in road trips across Africa—as a starting point, the essay considers the implications of broadening this imaginary into other borders and postcolonial border beings and whether this might constitute a particular kind of utopian project.
在这篇摄影文章中,作者收集了一组只有部分可见主题的照片,来讲述不同后殖民历史之间紧张而不可预测的遭遇。这篇文章以一名人类学家和一名摄影师之间的对话为舞台,触及了这种相遇的必要形式,可能是惊喜、友谊、地点和错位,有时甚至是隐形。文章的中心是作者之间的对话,以后殖民城市的景象、声音和偶然性为媒介。以“看不见的边界跨非洲项目”为起点,这是一个长达十年的冒险,汇集了艺术家、摄影师和作家在非洲各地的公路旅行,本文考虑了将这种想象扩展到其他边界和后殖民边界生物的含义,以及这是否可能构成一种特殊的乌托邦项目。

“Harvard Scientist Seeks Typical Irishman” “哈佛科学家寻找典型的爱尔兰人”

In 1870, the Belgian Adolphe Quetelet wrote in his seminal scientific work Anthropometrié that “the average man characterises the nation to which he belongs.” An obsession with the “national” characterized the field of anthropometry, which scientists such as Quetelet pioneered in the Francophone world; their techniques were quickly adopted and adapted elsewhere—by Francis Galton in London and by Aleš Hrdlička, Earnest Hooton, and Franz Boas in the United States. Ireland played a surprisingly central role in this burgeoning new field of international scientific enquiry, which quickly became focused on connecting racial and criminal “degeneracy” under the guise of a scientific search for the “normal,” “average,” or “typical” example of any given ethnic or social group. This article connects two major Irish research projects, the Dublin Anthropometric Lab at Trinity College Dublin (1888–99) and the physical anthropology strand of the Harvard Irish Study (1934–36), to show that Ireland was an important node in the network of scientists and researchers who constructed the discourses of global racial science.
1870年,比利时人阿道夫·奎特尔在其开创性的科学著作《人体测量学》中写道,“普通人是他所属国家的特征。”对“国家”的痴迷是人体测量领域的特征,奎特尔等科学家在法语世界开创了这一领域;他们的技术很快被其他地方采用和改编——伦敦的弗朗西斯·加尔顿和美国的AlešHrdlička、Earnest Hooton和Franz Boas。爱尔兰在这一新兴的国际科学调查领域发挥了令人惊讶的核心作用,该领域很快就以科学搜索任何特定种族或社会群体的“正常”、“平均”或“典型”例子为幌子,将种族和犯罪“堕落”联系起来。这篇文章连接了爱尔兰的两个主要研究项目,都柏林三一学院的都柏林人类测量实验室(1888-1999)和哈佛爱尔兰研究的体质人类学部分(1934-36),以表明爱尔兰是构建全球种族科学话语的科学家和研究人员网络中的一个重要节点。

“A Painful and Tender Sympathy Pervaded Every Class of Society” “痛苦而温柔的同情渗透到社会的每一个阶层”

The Great Irish Famine was a moment of unprecedented global giving. Sympathy for the suffering Irish traversed class hierarchies and vast geographical spaces, with indentured workers in the West Indies donating alongside members of the royal family and attendees at charity balls and galas in New York, Port Elizabeth, and Surrey. This article examines the socioeconomic geographies of this giving. It provides a quantitative analysis that brings together donations from both sides of the Atlantic, approaching these donors as a single global community. This famine giving is also considered within the context of wider traditions of Western humanitarianism. The article suggests that although famine humanitarianism mobilized a vast community of donors and traversed class, gender, and ethnic groups, it was ultimately a conservative force that upheld social hierarchies and replicated the socioeconomic and racial inequalities that characterize Western humanitarianism more generally.
爱尔兰大饥荒是一个前所未有的全球捐赠时刻。对受苦受难的爱尔兰人的同情跨越了阶级等级和广阔的地理空间,西印度群岛的契约工人与王室成员一起捐款,并参加了纽约、伊丽莎白港和萨里的慈善舞会和晚会。本文考察了这种捐赠的社会经济地理位置。它提供了一种定量分析,将大西洋两岸的捐款汇集在一起,将这些捐助者视为一个单一的全球社会。这种饥荒救济也被认为是在西方人道主义的更广泛传统的背景下进行的。文章指出,尽管饥荒人道主义动员了一个庞大的捐助者群体,跨越了阶级、性别和种族群体,但它最终是一股保守的力量,维护了社会等级制度,并复制了西方人道主义更普遍的社会经济和种族不平等特征。

In the late 1980s, amid immigration reform in the United States, legislators and lobbyists secured generous visa allotments for Irish immigrants, whose path to legal residency in the United States narrowed after the 1965 Hart-Celler Act abolished the national origins quota system. Claiming that the new law discriminated against Europeans, Irish advocates framed their campaign as an effort to diversify the post-1965 immigrant pool, which was predominantly Asian and Latin American. By examining the rhetoric deployed in congressional hearings and media appearances, this article considers how groups like the Irish negotiated the terms of their whiteness in the post–civil rights era. It also addresses the global dimensions of this case study, including Irish lobbyists’ coalition with other (nonwhite) immigrant groups, concurrent immigration reform in Australia and Canada, the effect of the Northern Irish civil war and US-Irish diplomatic relations, and its legacies in a newly multicultural contemporary Ireland.
20世纪80年代末,在美国移民改革期间,立法者和游说者为爱尔兰移民获得了慷慨的签证分配。1965年《哈特-切勒法案》废除了国家原籍配额制度后,爱尔兰移民在美国合法居留的道路变窄。爱尔兰的支持者声称新法律歧视欧洲人,他们将这场运动视为1965年后移民群体多样化的努力,而移民群体主要是亚裔和拉丁美洲人。通过研究国会听证会和媒体露面中的言论,本文考虑了像爱尔兰人这样的团体在后民权时代是如何协商白人条款的。它还谈到了这一案例研究的全球层面,包括爱尔兰游说者与其他(非白人)移民团体的联盟,澳大利亚和加拿大同时进行的移民改革,北爱尔兰内战和美国与爱尔兰外交关系的影响,以及它在新的多元文化的当代爱尔兰中的遗产。
