你解释说,聚集在“黑人生命问题”旗帜下的政治运动已经重申并更新了长期以来的要求,即结束国家批准的针对美国内外黑人和人口的暴力行为。你概述了如何在过去的一年里,epaly手机投注的口号已经激增,它现在如何链接,如果不是概念上,一系列种族正义运动在广阔的地理和复杂的网络的地方,州,国家和国际组织的努力。2014年8月9日,在密苏里州弗格森,迈克尔·布朗被达伦·威尔逊杀害后,你指着海报和标语牌上的题词,这些标语牌遍布示威活动的视觉档案。“#BlackLivesMatter既是对行动的呼吁,也是对我们生活被贬低的方式的回应。对你来说,在“一系列危险”中说出这个看似简单的陈述性声明并不意味着壮举(哈特曼,63)。即使你试图接受,不可能的,这个说法所指的世界的荒谬性,你仍然不确定你刚才所说的话意味着什么。黑人的生命很重要:如何做到这一点,对谁来说,以什么方式和手段,何时以及在什么条件下,确切地说?此外,重要到底意味着什么,更不用说生命或生命的重要性,生命的重要性,更不用说黑人的生命的重要性了?黑人的生命只有在一起时才重要,还是分开,还是一起分开?黑人的生活是一件奇怪的事情。你也认为,在这一刻,关于黑人生命被贬低的无法形容的,也许是不可想象的方式,你很难决定什么时候开始这个故事,或者历史,神话或寓言,或者把你的关注范围拉到多远。谁,在无法忍受的黑暗之后
You explain that the political movement gathered beneath the “Black Lives Matter”1 banner has ampliWed and updated the longstanding demand to end state-sanctioned violence against black people and populations in and beyond the United States. You outline how the eponymous slogan has proliferated over the past year and how it now links, rhetorically if not conceptually, a range of racial justice campaigns across an expansive geography and a complex network of local, state, national, and international organizing efforts. You point to its inscription on posters and placards throughout the visual archive of the demonstrations, ongoing at this writing, following the killing of Michael Brown by OfWcer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014. “#BlackLivesMatter is both a call to action and a response to the ways in which our lives have been devalued.” For you to utter this deceptively simple declarative statement amid “an inWnite array of dangers” is no mean feat (Hartman, 63). Even as you try to come to terms, impossibly, with the absurdity of the world that this claim indexes, you are still unsure of what is signifying in what you’ve just said. Black Lives Matter: how so and to whom, in what ways and by what means, when and under what conditions, precisely? What, moreover, does it mean to matter at all, much less for life or a life to matter, for lives to matter, let alone for black lives to matter? Do black lives matter only when taken together, or taken apart, or taken apart together? Black lives are (a) strange matter. You think also, in this moment, about the unspeakable, perhaps unimaginable ways that black lives have been devalued, and you have trouble determining when to start the story—or history or mythology or fable—or how far aWeld to draw your sphere of concern.
