Abstract

How did visual techniques serve to facilitate slave regimes? How can an attention to the visual record enhance our understanding of slavery? In what ways does this record survive in our contemporary visual economy? This essay considers these questions through an analysis of Reconstructing the Landscapes of Slavery: A Visual History of the Plantation in the Nineteenth-Century Atlantic World by Dale Tomich et al. and of the contested practice of “plantation weddings” in an era dominated by the photographic image.

奴隶制的视觉记录和视觉遗产

视觉技术是如何促进奴隶政权的?对视觉记录的关注如何增强我们对奴隶制的理解?在我们当代的视觉经济中，这些记录是如何存活下来的?本文通过分析Dale Tomich等人的《重建奴隶制景观:19世纪大西洋世界种植园的视觉历史》以及在摄影图像占主导地位的时代中有争议的“种植园婚礼”实践来考虑这些问题。

期刊介绍： Our Editorial Collective seeks to publish research - and occasionally other materials such as interviews, documents, literary creations - focused on the structured inequalities of the contemporary world, and the myriad ways people negotiate these conditions. Our approach is adamantly plural, following the basic "intersectional" insight pioneered by third world feminists, whereby multiple axes of inequalities are irreducible to one another and mutually constitutive. Our interest in how people live, work and struggle is broad and inclusive: from the individual to the collective, from the militant and overtly political, to the poetic and quixotic.
