Abstract

The absence, erasure, and exile of blackness from the archive breed a silence that has produced grounds for interrogation across numerous disciplines. The official record indexes the authority of the archive to shape what is available for view. Sites of remembrance such as memorials and historical markers are included in the vast material we engage for the sake of history, memory, and meaning. Such a site is the Five Points area of Atlanta, GA, where in 1906, a massacre of black Atlanteans bloodied the landscape and eluded significant remembrance. This article thinks alongside Saidiya Hartman’s project of recovery and Christina Sharpe’s practice of “wake work” to consider how writing with and against the archive through a blackened consciousness articulate alternative methods of engaging memory and care.

假新闻和褪色的观点:1906年亚特兰大种族大屠杀的消失档案

档案中黑人的缺席、删除和流放滋生了一种沉默，为众多学科的审讯提供了依据。官方记录对档案馆的权威进行索引，以确定可供查看的内容。纪念馆和历史标记等纪念场所包含在我们为了历史、记忆和意义而参与的大量材料中。这样一个地方就是佐治亚州亚特兰大的五点地区，1906年，一场对亚特兰大黑人的大屠杀血迹斑斑，没有引起人们的注意。这篇文章与赛迪娅·哈特曼的康复项目和克里斯蒂娜·夏普的“唤醒工作”实践一起思考，思考如何通过一种被抹黑的意识与档案进行对比，阐明吸引记忆和关怀的替代方法。

期刊介绍： Memory Studies is an international peer reviewed journal. Memory Studies affords recognition, form, and direction to work in this nascent field, and provides a critical forum for dialogue and debate on the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues central to a collaborative understanding of memory today. Memory Studies examines the social, cultural, cognitive, political and technological shifts affecting how, what and why individuals, groups and societies remember, and forget. The journal responds to and seeks to shape public and academic discourse on the nature, manipulation, and contestation of memory in the contemporary era.
