摘要

本文加入了“秘密亲缘”研讨会组织者于2017年3月带领参与者穿越约翰内斯堡市的旅行,作为其审议的先驱。鉴于工作坊的意图是遵循沃尔特·本雅明的“努力”,以“不可预测的、无纪律的方式”构建一个“秘密亲和力”的世界,这次旅行的预定地点和路线似乎是一种反常。在这篇文章中,我参与这次短途旅行的目的是为读者提供一些注释,或者像苏珊·巴克·莫尔斯在提到本杰明的《街机》项目时所说的那样,作为半个文本;观察,图像,反思和城市指南,在一个明确的,规范的,不断间断的时间相遇中穿越游览空间,有时被称为行程。富有想象力的旅程在本文中这些碎片是手头没有引导读者从车间场地——主题宾馆和博物馆,恢复,2011年更名为非暴力不合作运动的房子,那里的律师圣雄甘地和建筑师赫尔曼Kallenbach生活在20世纪初,穿过城市,而是意味着东方和迷惑读者自己的历史和政治关联的地方。本雅明先生在这篇文章中陪伴读者踏上这段旅程,他在我的写作中作为一个创造性的、话语性的角色被插入,他写了大量关于城市、城市的空间结构和社会内涵的文章。他有时会介入并发表评论。但他决心不以专家的身份出现。他的意图是在人群和站在街角之间建立一个视角,就像他在一篇反思《波德莱尔的一些主题》的文章中写的那样,“已经格格不入”。

The Arcades’ affinities: excursions into the corners and crowds of Johannesburg’s pasts
This article joins the excursion in which the ‘Secret Affinities’ workshop organizers took participants on through the city of Johannesburg in March 2017 as the precursor to its deliberations. Given the intent of the workshop to follow the ‘endeavour’ of Walter Benjamin’s construction of a world of ‘secret affinities’ ‘in unpredictable, undisciplined ways’ this tour with its predetermined sites and routes seemed to be an anomaly. My intent on taking part in this excursion in the article is to offer the reader some notes, or what Susan Buck-Morss in referring to Benjamin’s Arcades project invokes as half a text; observations, images, reflections and guides to the city, traversing spaces of the excursion in a defined, regulated and incessantly punctuated temporal encounter, sometimes called an itinerary. On the imaginative journey in this article these fragments are at hand not so much as to guide the reader from the workshop venue – a themed guest house and museum, restored and renamed Satyagraha House in 2011, where the lawyer Mohandas Gandhi and the architect Hermann Kallenbach lived at the beginning of the twentieth century – through the city, but rather as a means to both orient and disorient the reader to their own historical and political associations of place. Accompanying the reader on this journey contained in this article is Mr. Benjamin – inserted as a creative, discursive character in my writing – who has written extensively on cities, their spatial configurations and social connotations. He sometimes intervenes and makes comments. But he is determined not to appear as the bearer of expertise. His intention is to establish a point of vision between being of the crowd and standing apart on the street corner, to become, as he wrote in an essay reflecting ‘On Some Motifs in Baudelaire’, ‘already out of place’.

期刊介绍: Critical African Studies seeks to return Africanist scholarship to the heart of theoretical innovation within each of its constituent disciplines, including Anthropology, Political Science, Sociology, History, Law and Economics. We offer authors a more flexible publishing platform than other journals, allowing them greater space to develop empirical discussions alongside theoretical and conceptual engagements. We aim to publish scholarly articles that offer both innovative empirical contributions, grounded in original fieldwork, and also innovative theoretical engagements. This speaks to our broader intention to promote the deployment of thorough empirical work for the purposes of sophisticated theoretical innovation. We invite contributions that meet the aims of the journal, including special issue proposals that offer fresh empirical and theoretical insights into African Studies debates.
