It was in the evening on a Monday in May of that year when the 911 call came in from an employee at the CUP convenience store in south Minneapolis. The store clerk alleged that an African American patron, later identified as 46-year-old George Floyd, had used a counterfeit $20 bill to purchase cigarettes. Four police officers arrived and attempted to arrest Floyd, who was distressed and who struggled. Despite his numerous and panicked cries of anxiety, discomfort, and, eventually, of being unable to breathe, Floyd was forcibly handcuffed and pinned face-down to the ground. While a fourth officer stood by to prevent horrified bystanders from intervening in the murder they were witnessing, three police officers held George Floyd on the ground. One officer, Derek Chauvin, kept his knee pressed into Floyd’s neck for approximately nine minutes—as Floyd complained of being unable to breath, as his body went limp, as he was asphyxiated to death, as paramedics arrived to attempt resuscitation. Within twenty minutes of the arrival of the police, George Floyd was dead. It is noteworthy that he was killed during those terrifying, early months of the Covid-19 pandemic. The country was in lockdown. In fact, Floyd had lost his job due to pandemic layoffs. By the time of his murder, there had been nearly 100,000 Covid-related deaths, and only a week prior the World Health Organization had received reports of more cases within a 24-hour timeframe than at any point during the outbreak. It was a disastrous time in all the world. And yet people took to the streets—en masse, across the globe. Certainly, this was not the first time that Black murder had been caught on camera, nor was it the first time that Black death had gone viral. In fact, since the time of ritual lynching, Black people dying gruesomely has been coextensive with spectatorship and with technologies","PeriodicalId":208802,"journal":{"name":"The Faulkner Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116242524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lucas Beauchamp's Black Modernity: Agonistic Identities and the Ethics of Sympathy in Intruder in the Dust 卢卡斯·比彻姆的黑人现代性:《尘埃中的入侵者》中的斗争身份与同情伦理

We see an archetype of an adventurous, ruggedly individualist, though ambiguous, nineteenth-century heroism in the Sartoris family. There are also the Bundrens who, to lesser and greater degrees, struggle to maintain contact with the land and their poor white traditions when the modernity of the big town beckons, and Ike McCaslin, who rejects his corrupt patrimony. There is heroic nobility in Joe Christmas’s attempts to forge a personal identity outside the racist social norms that seek to delimit and dehumanize his being, in Tomey’s Turl’s intransigent rebellion against plantocracy codes, and in Eunice’s valiant suicide. However, Lucas Beauchamp epitomizes a particularly Faulknerian vision of heroism and nobility. Lucas provides, I argue, the closest thing to a consummation of the emancipatory labors of his Black predecessors. His success derives from the way he draws upon and activates his Black modernity, the traditions preceding him out of what Paul Gilroy has named the Black Atlantic that work to reveal the plurality of his own agonistic identity together with that of the society he inhabits. Lucas as a figure shines a light on the constructed nature of racial identity, on the irreducible pluralities that materially constitute persons and geographies. Once revealed, these perspectives entirely belie the myth of unitary essence and so, in bringing them to light, Lucas discomforts the white societies of his time. The simple evidence of his plurality unseats the racial hierarchies and the codes of white belonging upon which those societies are based and in defense of which they are willing to reinforce Black subjugation and white supremacy via ritualized acts of violence. Not despite but because of the white discomfort Lucas inspires, in those white people less invested in racial supremacy and their own whiteness he is also able to trigger an investment in an ethics of sympathy by which charac-","PeriodicalId":208802,"journal":{"name":"The Faulkner Journal","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122971422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To those familiar with Faulkner studies this is likely not a surprising state of affairs, as Requiem is typically regarded as a curious dud of an attempt at narrative experimentation. Many of the extended critical accounts of the relationship between slavery, race, and Faulkner’s fiction that I find most fruitful, Thadious Davis’s Faulkner’s Negro, Richard Godden’s Fictions of Labor and An Economy of Complex Words, Edouard Glissant’s Faulkner, Mississippi, and the smattering of references to Faulkner contained across Hortense Spillers’s writing as collected in Black, White and In Color, likewise have little or nothing to say about Requiem for a Nun. Further complicating matters, most extended discussions of Requiem for a Nun have little to say about slavery. Noel Polk, for example, calls slavery’s presence in Jefferson “ominous” without much elaboration (44). These silences strike me as odd given the fact that Requiem contains perhaps the single most comprehensive account of the political and economic history of Yoknapatawpha County and one of Faulkner’s most straightforward attempts to do legibly racially liberal work by confronting and undermining, “demystifying” in Deborah Barker’s account, the racist cultural trope of the Mammy in his depiction of Nancy Mannigoe (71). One might conclude from the preponderance of critical attention that Requiem is not particularly suited for thinking slavery, and therefore not fit for a certain contemporary iteration of “the work of anti-racism.” In this essay I read Requiem as an anxious and regressive rewriting of the historical contradictions contained under what Hortense Spillers calls “the sign of race” previously worked through in Faulkner’s earlier and more critically prominent novels (348). “‘Race’ alone bears no inherent meaning,” Spillers writes, “even though it reifies in personality, but gains its","PeriodicalId":208802,"journal":{"name":"The Faulkner Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126033018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
