本文探讨了使用的纪录片和视频的归属感,位移和返回,同时呼吁在创伤研究的“空间转向”的现场证词。通过对卡特里娜飓风精选作品的分析(斯派克·李的《堤坝决堤时》、蒂亚·莱辛和卡尔·迪尔的《水的问题》,以及激进分子的《新奥尔良出售销售!作者Brandan Odums,Nik Richard,and the group 2-cent),本文从Cathy Caruth关于精神分析的“迟来性”的见解和批判人文地理学的反本质化的地方概念来推断,以揭示伴随而来的创伤空间的物质性和不可同化性。本文质疑关于家园和回归权的假设,最终倡导建筑师Eyal Weizman所说的服务于社会正义的“实践空间”的新模式。
This essay explores the use of situated testimony in documentary films and videos about belonging, displacement, and return while calling for a ‘spatial turn’ in trauma studies. Through an analysis of selected works about Hurricane Katrina (Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke, Tia Lessin and Carl Deal's Trouble the Water, and the activist video New Orleans for Sale! by Brandan Odums, Nik Richard, and the group 2-cent), this paper extrapolates from Cathy Caruth's insights about psychoanalytic ‘belatedness’ and critical human geography's anti-essentializing conceptions of place to expose the concomitant materiality and unassimilability of traumatic space. The essay questions assumptions about home and right of return, ultimately advocating what architect Eyal Weizman has called a new mode of ‘practising space’ in the service of social justice.
