本文探讨了无处不在的存在维纳斯在档案大西洋奴隶制和摔跤的不可能发现任何关于她还没有被陈述。作为大西洋世界被奴役妇女的象征性人物，维纳斯清楚地表明了奴隶制的力比多经济中恐怖和快乐的融合，以及历史与丑闻和文学的过度的亲密关系。在写作中，在无法形容和未知的极限上，这篇文章模仿了档案的暴力，并试图通过尽可能充分地描述决定维纳斯出现和决定她沉默的条件来纠正它。
This essay examines the ubiquitous presence of Venus in the archive of Atlantic slavery and wrestles with the impossibility of discovering anything about her that hasn’t already been stated. As an emblematic figure of the enslaved woman in the Atlantic world, Venus makes plain the convergence of terror and pleasure in the libidinal economy of slavery and, as well, the intimacy of history with the scandal and excess of literature. In writing at the limit of the unspeakable and the unknown, the essay mimes the violence of the archive and attempts to redress it by describing as fully as possible the conditions that determine the appearance of Venus and that dictate her silence.
