摘要

摘要Derek Chauvin谋杀George Floyd的审判是公众围绕司法、问责和警察改革进行讨论的热点。伯克对待内疚的方法，以及他们对语言的相应西方理解，可以通过以非洲为中心的修辞来扩展。我们提出了“修辞分形”来涵盖黑人的认知和交流方式。与返回起点的循环不同，分形是无限复杂的，无法细化为单个实例。根据以非洲为中心的匿名者、秘密港和黑人公众的概念，我们将修辞分形应用于Chauvin审判和判决期间在推特上流传的标签。

Rhetorical fractals: an Afrocentric analysis of #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

ABSTRACT Derek Chauvin’s trial for murdering George Floyd was a flashpoint of public deliberation around justice, accountability, and police reform. Burkean approaches to guilt, and their corresponding Western understandings of language, can be extended through Afrocentric rhetorics. We propose the “rhetorical fractal” to encompass Black ways of knowing and communicating. Unlike a cycle that returns to its starting point, a fractal is endlessly complex and cannot be refined to a single instance. Informed by Afrocentric concepts of nommo, hush harbors, and Black publics, we apply the rhetorical fractal to hashtags that circulated on Twitter during Chauvin’s trial and verdict.
