This special issue emerged from a 2018 Modern Languages Association (MLA) Convention panel that was curious about the possibilities and limitations of the visual arts when documenting social, political, economic, and ecological violence in postcolonial contexts and people’s resistance to them. The essays included here not only enquire into the ethics and politics of representing colonial and postcolonial violence through speculative fictions, art, cinema, and mixed-media installations; they also supplement and reinvigorate investments in a dynamic and capacious “postcolonial” through critically analyzing contemporary collusions amongst partisan politics, systematic violence, and national and corporate interests. Drawing upon rich and complex debates on visual cultures and modes of representing violence, our collection takes on the following broad questions: What are the limits and possibilities of art, sculpture, theatre, live performances, photographs, narrative cinema, and experimental documentaries in narrating political-sexual-economic violence without titillating audiences and retraumatizing its victims? How might formal interventions disrupt maker and consumer scopophilia/s in contexts of postcolonial war zones, refugee populations on the move, and ecological disasters? How might innovative visual vocabularies and strategies help imagine empowering futures for postcolonial peoples and cultures for whom such imaginations have been terminally foreclosed by ongoing wars and resultant deaths, depression, and ecological devastation?

简介:可视化暴力

本期特刊出自 2018 年现代语言协会 (MLA) 大会小组,该小组对记录后殖民背景下的社会、政治、经济和生态暴力以及人们对它们的抵抗力的视觉艺术的可能性和局限性感到好奇。这里收录的文章不仅探讨了通过投机小说、艺术、电影和混合媒体装置来表现殖民和后殖民暴力的伦理和政治;他们还通过批判性地分析党派政治、系统性暴力以及国家和企业利益之间的当代勾结,补充和重振对充满活力和广阔的“后殖民”的投资。利用关于视觉文化和暴力表现方式的丰富而复杂的辩论,我们的收藏涉及以下广泛的问题:艺术、雕塑、戏剧、现场表演、照片、叙事电影和实验纪录片在叙述政治-性-经济暴力而不刺激观众和重新伤害受害者方面的局限性和可能性是什么?在后殖民战区、流动的难民人口和生态灾难的背景下,正式干预措施如何破坏制造商和消费者的窥视癖?创新的视觉词汇和策略如何帮助想象为后殖民人民和文化赋权的未来,对他们来说,这种想象已经被正在进行的战争和由此产生的死亡、萧条和生态破坏最终剥夺了?叙事电影,以及在不刺激观众和重新伤害受害者的情况下讲述政治-性-经济暴力的实验性纪录片?在后殖民战区、流动的难民人口和生态灾难的背景下,正式干预措施如何破坏制造商和消费者的窥视癖?创新的视觉词汇和策略如何帮助想象为后殖民人民和文化赋权的未来,对他们来说,这种想象已经被正在进行的战争和由此产生的死亡、萧条和生态破坏最终剥夺了?叙事电影,以及在不刺激观众和重新伤害受害者的情况下讲述政治-性-经济暴力的实验性纪录片?在后殖民战区、流动的难民人口和生态灾难的背景下,正式干预措施如何破坏制造商和消费者的窥视癖?创新的视觉词汇和策略如何帮助想象为后殖民人民和文化赋权的未来,对他们来说,这种想象已经被正在进行的战争和由此产生的死亡、萧条和生态破坏最终剥夺了?流动的难民人口和生态灾难?创新的视觉词汇和策略如何帮助想象为后殖民人民和文化赋权的未来,对他们来说,这种想象已经被正在进行的战争和由此产生的死亡、萧条和生态破坏最终剥夺了?流动的难民人口和生态灾难?创新的视觉词汇和策略如何帮助想象为后殖民人民和文化赋权的未来,对他们来说,这种想象已经被正在进行的战争和由此产生的死亡、萧条和生态破坏最终剥夺了?
