Abstract

In this essay, Racquel Gates revisits the 1941 Disney classic Dumbo via a speculative reading of the black reverberations that run throughout the animated film. Situating her analysis in the act of viewing the film with her sons during the 2020 George Floyd protests, Gates uses her personal experience to reframe the film with a new emphasis on Dumbo’s black resonance, specifically highlighting some of the film’s undertheorized historical and performative elements. While taking into account Dumbo’s uncomfortable incorporation of minstrelsy and Disney’s larger problems of racial representation, Gates pushes for a complex reading of the film that situates blackness at the core of its affective connection.

在这篇文章中，拉克尔·盖茨通过对贯穿动画电影的黑色回响的思考性解读，重温了1941年迪士尼经典电影《小飞象》。盖茨将她的分析置于2020年乔治·弗洛伊德抗议期间与儿子一起观看电影的行为中，用她的个人经历重新构建了电影，重新强调了小飞象的黑人共鸣，特别强调了电影中一些未被理论化的历史和表演元素。考虑到《小飞象》中令人不安的吟游诗人和迪士尼更大的种族代表性问题，盖茨推动了对这部电影的复杂解读，将黑人置于其情感联系的核心。
