ABSTRACT Bringing together scholarship on settler-colonialism, film theory and sound studies, this paper is an attempt to grapple with the problem of settler-colonial time. Building on the work of Patrick Wolfe, Samera Esmeir and Mark Rifkin, I argue that settler-colonialism presents immediate and important complications for thinking about historiography, time and cinematic time as well. Because as a structure of social development, settler-colonialism unfolds amorphously without very often taking the shape of singular events, acts or actors, it presents challenges for what we might call a prosecutional or event-centric discourse about violence. In this paper, I explore Chion’s theory of ‘phantom sound’, which holds – I think – great promise for cinematically dealing with settler-colonial time. Alongside this, I offer a close-reading of Mohanad Yaqubi’s 2015 documentary Off Frame AKA Revolution until Victory as a unique deployment of phantom sound and a confrontation with settler-colonialism.

Mohanad Yaqubi 的 Off Frame 中的定居者殖民时间性和“幻音”

摘要 本文将定居者-殖民主义、电影理论和声音研究的学术研究结合起来，试图解决定居者-殖民时代的问题。以帕特里克·沃尔夫、萨梅拉·埃斯梅尔和马克·里夫金的工作为基础，我认为定居者殖民主义也为思考史学、时间和电影时间带来了直接和重要的复杂性。因为作为社会发展的一种结构，定居者殖民主义在不经常以单一事件、行为或行动者的形式展开的情况下，它对我们可能称之为起诉或以事件为中心的关于暴力的话语提出了挑战。在这篇论文中，我探讨了 Chion 的“幻音”理论，我认为，它在电影处理殖民者殖民时代方面具有巨大的前景。与此同时，
