Abstract

ABSTRACT After #BlackLivesMatter protests in summer 2020, many leaders in the US South reevaluated monuments dedicated to the confederate and segregation eras. Black affiliates of the University of Arkansas used the Twitter hashtag #BlackatUARK to demand the removal of memorials commemorating a segregationist senator and share their experiences of anti-Black racism on campus. We argue that #BlackatUARK provides a counterpublic memorial of campus life that opposes and transforms dominant public memories, geographies, and subjectivities. Our analysis of the hashtag expands the conceptual boundaries of the kairos/metanoia partnership to show how digital counterpublic memories gain momentum and produce tangible rhetorical effects across both digital and nondigital contexts. During its circulation, the hashtag opens and sustains a kairotic moment fueled by the exigent flow of memories of anti-Black racism on campus. Simultaneously, the hashtag ignites a metanoic moment whereby allies mobilize their regret about a shameful past to plan a more just future.
#BlackatUARK:校园反黑人种族主义的数字反公众记忆
摘要在2020年夏天的#BlackLivesMatter抗议活动之后,美国南方的许多领导人重新评估了纪念邦联和种族隔离时代的纪念碑。阿肯色大学的黑人附属机构使用推特标签#BlackatUARK,要求拆除纪念一位种族隔离主义参议员的纪念碑,并分享他们在校园里反黑人种族主义的经历。我们认为,#BlackatUARK提供了一个校园生活的反公众纪念,它反对并改变了占主导地位的公众记忆、地理和主观主义。我们对标签的分析扩展了kairos/metanoia合作伙伴关系的概念边界,以展示数字反公共记忆是如何在数字和非数字背景下获得动力并产生切实的修辞效果的。在它的传播过程中,这个标签打开并维持了一个由校园里反黑人种族主义的紧急记忆所推动的令人心碎的时刻。与此同时,这个标签引发了一个元黑色时刻,盟友们借此动员他们对可耻过去的遗憾,来规划一个更加公正的未来。
