摘要
摘要:本文借鉴Jovan Scott Lewis的《诈骗者的院子:牙买加黑人修理的犯罪》(2020)，对牙买加的彩票诈骗者进行了丰富的民族志研究，以及他们用来证明诈骗作为一种赔偿形式的道德逻辑，思考黑人赔偿要求的局限性。具体来说，它借鉴了黑人反叛生活的各种理论，探讨了在以修复、替代和逃亡原则为前提的激进变革政治中产生的内在挑战。作者认为，理论化黑人，进而延伸到黑人修复，需要探索不可想象的、阈限的和其他的问题。
Abstract:This essay draws on Jovan Scott Lewis's Scammer's Yard: The Crime of Black Repair in Jamaica (2020), a rich ethnographic study of lottery scammers in Jamaica and the ethical logic they use to justify scamming as a form of reparations, to think about the limits of Black reparative claims. Specifically, it draws on various theorizings of Black insurgent life to explore the inherent challenges in engendering a radical politics of change premised around principles of repair, alterity, and fugitivity. The author argues that theorizing Blackness and, by extension, Black repair necessitates exploring questions of the unimaginable, the liminal, and the otherwise.
