In this article, I address how walking as a curatorial practice of storying a neighborhood facilitates an irreducible politics of place occurring as affective intensities at various registers, where everyday movements entangle with spatial enactments of racism. Working with theories of assemblage and immanent movement, I examine walking narratives in San Jose Japantown, California (U.S.), a historic, ethnic neighborhood historically subjected to U.S. government and banking practices of “redlining” and Japanese American incarceration and dislocation to prison camps. As an analytical method, assemblage requires attention to movement: material elements of arrangement, the relations they require, new arranging and arrangements they might enable, and how these arrangements are legitimated. I examine spatial racism as an assemblage, analyzing its affective qualities wherein attentiveness to immanent movement might breach the assemblage and, in doing so, reach toward radical reformation through memorialization, community activism and development.

移动遭遇空间种族主义:走在圣何塞日本城
在这篇文章中,我将讨论如何将步行作为一种讲述邻里故事的策展实践来促进不可简化的地方政治,这种政治在各种领域以情感强度的形式发生,其中日常运动与种族主义的空间表演纠缠在一起。我运用组装和内在运动的理论研究了加利福尼亚州(美国)圣何塞日本城的步行叙事,这是一个历史悠久的民族社区,历史上受到美国政府和银行“红线”做法以及日裔美国人的监禁和转移到集中营的影响。作为一种分析方法,组装需要注意运动:安排的物质元素、它们所需的关系、它们可能实现的新安排和安排,以及这些安排如何合法化。我将空间种族主义视为一个组合,
