ABSTRACT The story of technology’s use in the Black Lives Matter movement is a battle between competing narratives of temporality: white state institutions and storytellers invest in a gaze which sees Black life as simply headed toward Black death, while Black Lives Matter activists and artists understand Black lives as worthy of care and able to bring social change even after death. This essay examines the visual afterlife of Sandra Bland, a Black woman who died in police custody in 2015. The contrast between the “official” institutional videos of Bland’s last days and her own self-produced “Sandy Speaks” videos demonstrates the push between temporalities narrating Black life and death. The 2018 documentary Say Her Name: The Life and Death of Sandra Bland provides a site for analyzing these various digital traces and how in death Bland resists containment by a racist state or even the limited confines of a documentary narrative.

桑迪仍在说话：桑德拉布兰德的数字来世

摘要 技术在 Black Lives Matter 运动中使用的故事是时间性叙事之间的一场战斗：白人国家机构和讲故事的人投资于一种将黑人生活视为简单地走向黑死病的凝视，而 Black Lives Matter 活动家和艺术家则理解黑人生命值得关怀，即使在死后也能带来社会变革。这篇文章考察了 2015 年在警察拘留期间死亡的黑人妇女 Sandra Bland 的视觉来世。 Bland 最后几天的“官方”机构视频与她自己制作的“Sandy Speaks”视频之间的对比展示了时间之间的推动讲述黑人的生与死。2018 年纪录片《说出她的名字》：
