摘要

由于信息图表与红线之类的种族主义政策有关，我们需要将这一类型非殖民化。但之前的研究发现，信息图形的全景主义——它们对复杂问题的一目了然——使它们倾向于支持霸权权力结构，尽管它们的设计者有这样的意图。摆脱这种困境的方法可以在第一次尝试将信息图非殖民化中找到：W.E.B.杜波依斯为1900年巴黎博览会创作的描绘美国黑人生活的系列。对杜波依斯非殖民化项目的拓扑分析揭示了我们自己试图将信息图非殖民化的既有问题又有希望的途径。

Decolonizing the Color-Line: A Topological Analysis of W.E.B. Du Bois's Infographics for the 1900 Paris Exposition

As infographics are implicated in racist policies like redlining, we need to decolonize the genre. But previous studies have found that infographics’ panopticism—their at-a-glance reduction of complex issues—makes them tend to support hegemonic power structures in spite of their designers’ intentions. A way out of this dilemma can be located in the first attempt to decolonize the infographic: W.E.B. Du Bois's series depicting Black life in the United States, created for the 1900 Paris Exposition. This topological analysis of Du Bois's decolonial project reveals both problematic and promising avenues for our own attempts to decolonize the infographic.

期刊介绍： JBTC is a refereed journal that provides a forum for discussion of communication practices, problems, and trends in business, professional, scientific, and governmental fields. As such, JBTC offers opportunities for bridging dichotomies that have traditionally existed in professional communication journals between business and technical communication and between industrial and academic audiences. Because JBTC is designed to disseminate knowledge that can lead to improved communication practices in both academe and industry, the journal favors research that will inform professional communicators in both sectors. However, articles addressing one sector or the other will also be considered.
