Abstract

Abstract:

Black folk have a dubious relationship with landscapes of the American South, where the living dead—Indigenous, enslaved, Confederate, and everyone in between—saturate the natural world with unresolved trauma. Kara Walker has long explored the complexity of race relations during the rise and fall of the plantation economy, and in Night Conjure (2001), she inverts the iconography of Black fright against a white cotton field to envision other ways in which the South begat terror and for whom. Walker picks up the seemingly contradictory relationship between women of African descent and geographic sites of oppression and unbearable cultural memory.

对黑色（南方）星球的恐惧：卡拉-沃克的《夜间魔法

摘要:黑人与美国南方的风景有着可疑的关系，那里的活死人--土著、奴隶、邦联以及介于两者之间的所有人--使自然世界充满了未解决的创伤。卡拉-沃克（Kara Walker）长期以来一直在探索种植园经济兴衰过程中种族关系的复杂性，在《夜魔》（Night Conjure，2001 年）中，她颠倒了白人棉花田中黑人惊恐的图示，设想了南方产生恐怖的其他方式，以及恐怖的对象。沃克探讨了非洲裔女性与压迫的地理位置和难以忍受的文化记忆之间看似矛盾的关系。

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
