Abstract

This essay theorizes Fanonian slips as way of describing the misfires that may occur in rhetorical gestures aimed at soothing moments of racial tension. Fanonian slips further articulate how those misfires accidentally reveal broader processes by which various individuals mobilize “Black skin” and “white masks” as guiding posts for establishing order within the interpersonal, the political, and the internal. Accordingly, the essay analyzes an eclectic mix of artifacts including the rhetoric of Atlanta rapper Killer Mike, U.S. President Barack Obama, and two auto-ethnographic accounts, to demonstrate that these slips are pervasive within, and endemic to, Western communication.

法农简：白面具的修辞功能与场域

这篇文章将法诺尼亚式的口误理论化，作为一种描述可能发生在旨在缓解种族紧张局势的修辞姿态中的失败的方式。法诺尼安进一步阐述了这些失误是如何意外地揭示了更广泛的过程，在这个过程中，不同的个体动员“黑皮肤”和“白面具”，作为在人际关系、政治和内部建立秩序的指导柱。因此，本文分析了包括亚特兰大说唱歌手“杀手迈克”、美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马以及两份自动人种志报告在内的各种各样的人工制品，以证明这些口误在西方交流中无处不在，而且是地方性的。
