摘要

本文是对津巴布韦记者罗德里克-布莱克曼-恩戈罗(Roderick Blackman Ngoro)最后几年在南非和日本的沉默和抹杀的 "法医归纳式 "反思。恩戈罗在南非撰写了一篇关于 "有色人种 "的有争议的博客文章后遭到排斥。事件发生后,恩戈罗移居日本,继续他对种族主义的新闻研究。几年后,他悄然返回南非,在威茨大学攻读博士学位。2010 年 1 月底,恩戈罗被发现死在大学的房间里。警方没有怀疑他有任何犯罪行为。我有目的地拍摄了一组快照,作为反思恩戈罗在南非和日本的最后几年如何说明种族隔离持续存在的一部分。我通过对快照进行具体的归纳取证来考虑无法发现犯罪现场的问题,从而展示在种族隔离的犯罪现场如何无法发现任何犯规行为。法证归纳法是从我在种族隔离研究领域的新兴工作中汲取的一种方法,旨在解释被压迫者的世界是如何成为犯罪现场的,在犯罪现场,人们既生活在伤害之中,又生活在伤害之中。我的结论是,如果不把种族隔离作为一种范式和理论框架(以此来发现持续存在的犯罪现场),那么恩戈罗最后几年所经历的复杂的讽刺就没有意义。这种范式对于检测从南非到日本持续存在的伤害是有用的。

South African Silences, Japanese Erasures: Blackman Ngoro and the Persistence of Apartheid
This article is a “forensic inductive” reflection on the silences and erasures, in South Africa and Japan, that mark the last years of Zimbabwean journalist, Roderick Blackman Ngoro. Ngoro was ostracised in South Africa after he penned a controversial blog article about “Coloureds”. After the affair, Ngoro relocated to Japan, continuing his journalistic research on racism. He returned quietly to South Africa a few years later to pursue doctoral studies at Wits University. In late January 2010, Ngoro was found dead in his room at the university. Police did not suspect any foul play. I deploy a purposive set of snapshots as part of a reflection on how Ngoro’s last few years in South Africa and Japan illustrate the persistence of apartheid. I consider the problem of undetectable crimes scenes by means of specific inductive forensics of snapshots that allow a demonstration of how, at the crime scenes of apartheid, no foul play is detectable. Forensic induction is a methodology drawn from my emerging work in Apartheid Studies, seeking to explain how the worlds of the oppressed are crime scenes in which people live with harm and live in harm’s way. I conclude that the complex ironies that attended Ngoro’s last few years cannot make sense if not looked at through the lens of apartheid as a paradigm and theoretical framework (by which to detect persistent crime scenes). Such a paradigm has utility in detecting the persistence of harm from South Africa to Japan.
