【繼承 The Inheritance】
導演：伊麗莎白．A．波維內利 Elizabeth A. Povinelli / 2021 / 81’ / USA / Digital / COLOR
在這部圖像回憶錄中，導演伊麗莎白．A．波維內利將祖父母口述的有關地方及血統的家族故事與歐洲移民的廣泛社會敘事結合，探究我們從我們的祖先那裡繼承了什麼—究竟是血統，地方認同，亦或是社會身份呢？波維內利透過多層次的圖像複雜化歐洲移民故事，並利用圖像的模糊性為這些故事提供了批判性的人類學陳述。《繼承》既是回憶錄，也是對家族、種族、社會和國家認同的視覺冥想。
The Inheritance is a three-act video montage essay on inheritance as an accumulation of racial and settler dispossessions. Seeking to intervene in what Povinelli has called the current white counter-reformation of white nativism, The Inheritance pivots the ideas and affects of history, inheritance, and social identity against the sedimentations of white supremacy and settler colonialism through a retelling of the immigration stories told to the young Elizabeth Povinelli by her grandparents. Carol Devane has written that the “modes of identification and belonging in relation to Karezol/Carisolo create a tangled inheritance, but one that faded from social experience as the family became absorbed into the privileges of whiteness in the US, even as that assimilation was at times uneasy. The haunting and vivid story of this family offers an entrée for thinking critically about social location, place-based belonging, and the privileges and punishments therein.”
