ABSTRACT

This essay critically engages the Equal Justice Initiative’s (EJI) Lynching in America report to illuminate how it uses lynching as a trope to gesture to an otherwise temporality of anti-Black violence that recontextualizes what it means to be responsible for structural injustice. Overall, through my analysis and by engaging theories of justice, racialization, and racialized time, while also centering the language of breathing and suffocation drawn from various black voices, I advance a breathing-centered conception of responsibility for justice that is attuned to imagining a future beyond the enduring legacies of lynching.

重塑司法责任：私刑，种族化的暂时性和培养可呼吸的未来

摘要

本文批评性地引用了平等司法倡议（EJI）在美国的《 Lynching》报告，阐明了它如何将私刑作为一种隐喻来应对反黑人暴力的暂时性，从而重新诠释了应对结构性不公正的含义。总体而言，通过我的分析以及对正义，种族化和种族化时间的理论的参与，同时还以各种黑人声音中的呼吸和窒息语言为中心，我提出了以呼吸为中心的正义责任概念，该概念旨在想象超越了私刑的持久遗产。
