Abstract While the images traditionally associated with the amateur visual archive of the black experience were primarily everyday photographs taken by black communities in diaspora, more recently, it is the moving image, rather than still photography, to which these communities turn to capture the vicissitudes of black life. Their repository is no longer handmade albums or scrapbooks; it is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and numerous other self-curated online collections. Focusing on the work of cinematographer Arthur Jafa, this article explores the ways black amateur digital archives are used by contemporary black artists like Jafa to create an emergent new black gaze that renders the borders between fine art and popular culture porous and unstable. It is a gaze that resuscitates and revalues the amateur visual archive of black life in radical ways and with radical possibilities for imagining a different kind of black futurity.

业余的谷物

摘要 虽然传统上与黑人体验的业余视觉档案相关的图像主要是散居在外的黑人社区拍摄的日常照片，但最近，这些社区转向捕捉运动的图像，而不是静态摄影。黑生活。他们的存储库不再是手工制作的相册或剪贴簿；它是 Facebook、Twitter、YouTube 和许多其他自我策划的在线收藏。本文以摄影师 Arthur Jafa 的作品为重点，探讨了像 Jafa 这样的当代黑人艺术家如何使用黑人业余数字档案来创造一种新兴的黑色凝视，从而使美术与流行文化之间的边界变得脆弱和不稳定。
