摘要

这篇论文与《黑人的命也是命》时代当代黑人母性回忆录的研究不足的子类别放在一起。我们阅读了Sybrina Fulton和Tracy Martin的《权力的休息：Trayvon Martin的持久生活》，以及Lezley McSpadden的《说实话，让魔鬼蒙羞：我儿子迈克尔·布朗的生活、遗产和爱》，这不仅是对悲伤和政治主体性诞生的表现，甚至是在他们强调黑人母亲的政治主体性是如何通过失去而产生的时候。这些黑人母亲回忆录也提供了我们所说的奇怪的亲密关系，这使母亲回忆录的可预测脚本变得紧张。我们在这些回忆录中读到了奇怪的亲密关系的嵌入，这是一种拒绝接受黑人母亲的性别逻辑的方式，也是一种拒绝和撤销家庭亲密关系和黑人母亲丧失的规范概念的亲密关系表现。

Strange Intimacies

This paper sits with the understudied subgenre of the contemporary black maternal memoir in the Black Lives Matter era. We read Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin’s Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin and Lezley McSpadden’s Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil: The Life, Legacy, and Love of My Son Michael Brown not only as performances of grief and of the birth of political subjectivity—even as they emphatically stage how respectable black maternal political subjectivity is born through loss. These black maternal memoirs also offer what we call strange intimacies, which strain the predictable scripts of the maternal memoir. We read the embeddedness of strange intimacies in these memoirs as a way of refusing the gendered logics of the reception of the black maternal, and as performances of intimacy that refuse and undo normative conceptions of familial intimacy and black maternal loss.

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
