Abstract:

This essay tends to the continued lives and potential futures of Operation Babylift refugees as subjects born from "militarized care,' a framework that resists the binary between violence and care to instead denote the affective and sensorial manifestation of both violence and care. By pairing Heidi Bub's story of reunion in the documentary Daughter from Danang with a reparative reading of Operation Babylift photographs, this essay suggests that tire Babylift refugees' gesture of looking out tire airplane window leans into vulnerability and uprootedness in order to dream of alternative futures "up there" and "out there" in the sky.

倚向天空：婴儿升降机行动中的悲伤和未来姿态

 抽象：

本文倾向于将婴儿救援行动难民作为“军事化关怀”的主体的持续生活和潜在未来，这是一个抵制暴力和关怀之间的二元对立的框架，而是表示暴力和关怀的情感和感官表现。通过将纪录片《来自岘港的女儿》中海蒂·布布 （Heidi Bub） 的重逢故事与对婴儿电梯行动照片的修复性解读相结合，本文表明，轮胎婴儿电梯难民向轮胎飞机窗外望去的姿态倾向于脆弱和连根拔起，以便梦想“天上”和“外面”的替代未来。
