摘要
K. Avvirin Berlin，“真理的数学:旅居者真理叙事中的漫游自由计算”(第114-141页)这篇文章读了《北方奴隶旅居者真理叙事》(1850)中有关行走和黑人母亲的段落。在这样做的过程中，它将1843年Truth的步行迁移理论化为一场政治朝圣，其时空模式挑战了联邦和州的政策。借用数学和自然科学的策略，“寄居法”和其他联邦法令将像特鲁斯这样的非裔美国母亲限制在特定的社会和地理位置，并将她们作为奴隶和低薪劳动者的地位。《真理的数学》以批判的眼光审视《真理》的白人女权主义合著者奥利弗·吉尔伯特(Olive Gilbert)在《旅居者真理》(Narrative of Sojourner Truth)中对母性的表述，试图介入对真理的生活和政治的接受。
K. Avvirin Berlin, “The Mathematics of Truth: Peripatetic Freedom Calculations in the Narrative of Sojourner Truth” (pp. 114–141) This essay reads passages in the Narrative of Sojourner Truth, a Northern Slave (1850) that pertain to walking and Black motherhood. In doing so, it theorizes Truth’s 1843 walking migration as a political pilgrimage whose spatial-temporal schema challenged federal and state policy. Armed with tactics borrowed from mathematics and the natural sciences, “sojourner laws” and other federal dictates worked to confine African American mothers like Truth to particular social and geographic places and to their status as enslaved and low-wage laborers. Casting a critical eye on Truth’s white feminist co-author Olive Gilbert’s representations of motherhood in the Narrative of Sojourner Truth, “The Mathematics of Truth” seeks to intervene into the reception of Truth’s life and politics.
