项目摘要

Albinism is the medicalized term for a condition that results in a physical appearance with the prominent feature of hypopigmentation of the skin, hair and retina. This appearance deviates from physical norms throughout the world and results in many places in the stigmatization and discrimination of people with the condition. The phenomenon is often perceived ambiguously as falling between "race" and "disability". This project examines un/doing albinism as exemplary of un/doing difference from a macrohistorical perspective over a period of approximately 500 years. The geographical focus of this long-term observation is the transatlantic triangle between Europe, Africa and North America. The aim is to examine the history of hypopigmentation from the perspective of its transatlantic interconnections. Heuristically speaking, the project differentiates between three phases, which are marked by different framings of hypopigmentation: during the proto-albinistic phase, people with hypopigmentation are conceptualized as racial hermaphrodites or human-spirit hybrids; in the albininistic phase, they are seen as people with a genetic syndrome, and in the post-albinistic phase they are considered as people with certain aesthetic qualities. The project examines the recoding of hypopigmentation through the shift of its interpretative frames -- the race discourse, magic, medicine and art -- which exist partly in historical succession, and partly simultaneously in different social fields. The shifting of framings is understood here as a contingent effect of changing societal conditions, on the one hand, and a concrete act of undoing which emanates from social movements, on the other.

白化病是一个医学术语，指的是一种导致皮肤、头发和视网膜色素沉着降低的显著特征的身体外观。这种外表偏离了世界各地的身体规范，在许多地方导致对患有这种疾病的人的侮辱和歧视。这种现象通常被模糊地认为介于“种族”和“残疾”之间。本项目从大约500年的宏观历史角度考察了un/doing白化病，作为un/doing差异的典范。这项长期观察的地理焦点是欧洲、非洲和北美之间的跨大西洋三角。目的是从跨大西洋相互联系的角度来研究色素沉着症的历史。启发式地说，该项目区分了三个阶段，这三个阶段以色素沉着的不同框架为标志：在原始白化病阶段，色素沉着的人被概念化为种族雌雄同体或人类精神混血儿；在白化病阶段，他们被视为有遗传综合症的人，在白化病后阶段，他们被认为是具有某种审美品质的人。该项目通过其解释框架的转变——种族话语、魔法、医学和艺术——来研究色素减退的重新编码，这些框架部分存在于历史的延续中，部分同时存在于不同的社会领域中。在这里，框架的变化一方面被理解为社会条件变化的偶然影响，另一方面被理解为社会运动产生的具体破坏行为。
