摘要

摘要:西西蕾塔-琼斯（Sissieretta Jones，1868-1933 年）作为第一批黑人歌剧演唱家之一也许是人们对她最深刻的记忆，尽管她从未在歌剧舞台上表演过。本文探讨了种族和录音技术作为相互关联的感知技术对观众感知黑人表演者的基础和结构能力的影响，分析了通过她的档案--评论、宣传照片和插图，以及没有她录音的声音--产生的多重琼斯。通过这一探索，我认为我们必须抵制对表演遗存进行防腐处理的驱动力，以便对黑人档案进行更加多元的分析。

The Many Voices of Sissieretta Jones: Opera and the Sonic Necromancy of the Black Phonographic Archive

Abstract:

Sissieretta Jones (1868-1933) is perhaps best remembered as one of the first Black opera singers, despite having never performed on the operatic stage. Exploring race and phonography as interlinking technologies of perception underlying and structuring the ability of audiences to perceive black performers, this essay analyzes the multiple Joneses produced through her archive—in reviews, promotional photographs and illustrations, and the absence of her phonographically recorded voice. Through this exploration, I argue that we must resist the drive to embalm the remains of performance in order to move toward a more multiple analysis of Black archives.
