内容简介
In Dark Matters Simone Browne locates the conditions of blackness as a key site through which surveillance is practiced, narrated, and resisted. She shows how contemporary surveillance technologies and practices are informed by the long history of racial formation and by the methods of policing black life under slavery, such as branding, runaway slave notices, and lantern laws. Placing surveillance studies into conversation with the archive of transatlantic slavery and its afterlife, Browne draws from black feminist theory, sociology, and cultural studies to analyze texts as diverse as the methods of surveilling blackness she discusses: from the design of the eighteenth-century slave ship Brooks, Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon, and The Book of Negroes, to contemporary art, literature, biometrics, and post-9/11 airport security practices. Surveillance, Browne asserts, is both a discursive and material practice that reifies boundaries, borders, and bodies around racial lines, so much so that the surveillance of blackness has long been, and continues to be, a social and political norm.
西蒙妮·布朗(Simone Browne)在《暗物质》(Dark Matters)中将黑度条件定位为实践,叙述和抵抗监视的关键场所。她展示了如何通过长期的种族形成历史以及在奴隶制下维护黑人生活的方法(例如品牌,失控的奴隶告示和灯笼法)来指导当代监视技术和实践。Browne将监视研究与跨大西洋奴隶制及其来世进行了对话,她借鉴黑人女权主义理论,社会学和文化研究,分析了她讨论过的监视黑人方法多种多样的文本:来自18世纪奴隶的设计布鲁克斯,杰里米·边沁(Jeremy Bentham)的Panopticon和《黑人书》(The Book of Negroes)运用于当代艺术,文学,生物识别技术,和9/11之后的机场安全惯例。布朗说,监视既是一种话语性的又是一种物质性的实践,它使种族边界周围的边界,边界和身体统一化,以至于监视黑度长期以来一直是一种社会和政治规范。
