Abstract

ABSTRACT Through a range of local and national examples, Kushner explores how Britain has dealt with difficult histories, especially relating to racism, slavery and antisemitism. By utilizing insights from the history of emotions and the senses, he explores how the murder of George Floyd in the Covid-19 summer of 2020 brought to the fore issues of commemoration and belonging that have never been confronted and contested so intensively and heatedly before. His article argues for a bold response that is not afraid, through due process, to remove heritage that is deeply offensive, while recognizing the importance of ambiguity and complexity in re-representing and confronting troubling pasts, including the representation of perpetrators. In working towards a post-Covid-19 world, Kushner argues against returning to the ‘norm’ and instead towards a heritage and history that is sensitive, critical and inclusive, recognizing the presence of migrants in Britain, past and present.

5 2020年夏天：新冠肺炎和黑人生命攸关下的纪念活动

库什纳通过一系列地方和国家的例子，探讨了英国如何处理艰难的历史，特别是与种族主义、奴隶制和反犹太主义有关的历史。通过利用情感和感官历史的见解，他探讨了2020年夏天乔治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)在2019冠状病毒病(Covid-19)期间被谋杀，如何将纪念和归属感的问题摆在了面前，这些问题此前从未受到如此激烈和激烈的挑战和争议。他的文章主张采取大胆的应对措施，不惧通过正当程序删除那些令人深感不快的遗产，同时认识到在再现和面对令人不安的过去(包括对肇事者的再现)时，模糊性和复杂性的重要性。库什纳反对回归“常态”，而是要回归敏感、批判和包容的遗产和历史，承认移民在英国的存在，无论是过去还是现在。

期刊介绍： Patterns of Prejudice provides a forum for exploring the historical roots and contemporary varieties of social exclusion and the demonization or stigmatisation of the Other. It probes the language and construction of "race", nation, colour, and ethnicity, as well as the linkages between these categories. It encourages discussion of issues at the top of the public policy agenda, such as asylum, immigration, hate crimes and citizenship. As none of these issues are confined to any one region, Patterns of Prejudice maintains a global optic, at the same time as scrutinizing intensely the history and development of intolerance and chauvinism in the United States and Europe, both East and West.
