摘要

在许多历史上的例子中，东方被想象地与魔术联系在一起，其中最引人入胜的例子之一是在20世纪之交，黄脸魔术师的流行表演中，种族和魔术之间的实际重叠。我用这个例子来展示和分析魔法和种族美学之间的一些动态，特别是当它们通过“黄祸”中最具影响力和长期存在的矛盾之一发挥作用时:中国人是不可同化的，但中国的美学很容易被挪用。

Race Magic and the Yellow Peril

Among the many historical examples in which the Orient has been imaginatively associated with magic, one of the most fascinating involves an actual overlap between race and magic in the popular performances of yellowface magicians at the turn of the twentieth century. I use this example to show and analyze some of the dynamics between magic and the aesthetics of race, especially as these play out through one of the most influential and long-standing contradictions of the “Yellow Peril”: Chinese people are unassimilable, yet Chinese aesthetics are easily appropriated.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publishes current research articles, symposia, special issues, and timely book reviews in aesthetics and the arts. The term aesthetics, in this connection, is understood to include all studies of the arts and related types of experience from a philosophic, scientific, or other theoretical standpoint. The arts are taken to include not only the traditional forms such as music, literature, landscape architecture, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and other visual arts, but also more recent additions such as photography, film, earthworks, performance and conceptual art, the crafts and decorative arts, contemporary digital innovations, and other cultural practices, including work and activities in the field of popular culture.
