摘要

罗克珊·盖伊的短篇小说《鬼与影》的开头是:“我在看着我的爱人。”影片开场，玛丽和她的爱人埃莉悠闲地逛海地的一个市场。因为两个人不能公开表达感情，所以他们互相看着对方。偷窥和抚摸四肢，他们已经发展出一套完整的视觉爱抚系统。观看的练习转移到了身体接触的领域。这对恋人从小就很亲密，有很多共同的经历:“我们看着自己的父亲因为支持自由选举而被带走，我们看着自己的兄弟消失在乡村或海洋里。”这些声明中的“我们”强调了他们深深交织在一起的平行生活。他们在共同的观察和作证实践中团结一致。

Glimpsing Shadows: Affective Witnessing in Noctambules and “Of Ghosts and Shadows”

‘I am watching my lover’, begins Roxane Gay’s short story ‘Of Ghosts and Shadows’. In the opening scene, Marie, and her lover Am elie idly browse through a marketplace in Haiti. Since the two of them cannot openly show affection, they watch each other instead. Sneaking glances and brushing limbs, they have developed an entire system for visual caress. Practices of looking shift into the realm of bodily touch. Close since they were children, the lovers have many shared experiences: ‘We watched our fathers taken away for supporting free elections, we watched our brothers disappear into the countryside or the ocean’. The ‘we’ of these statements underscores their deeply entwined and parallel lives. They are united in shared practices of looking—of bearing witness.
