Download or read book Loopholes and Retreats written by John Cullen Gruesser and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2009 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume explore the loopholes and retreats employed and exploited by African American polemicists, poets, novelists, slave narrators, playwrights, short story writers, essayists, editors, educators, historians, clubwomen, and autobiographers during the nineteenth century. These exciting contributions use historicist, comparative, transnational, literary historical, cultural studies, and Foucauldian perspectives to examine how apparent weakness was turned into strength, defensiveness into offensiveness, and the machinery of oppression into the keys to liberation.

Book Synopsis "Hidden in Plain Sight" by : Yvette Marie DeChavez
Download or read book "Hidden in Plain Sight" written by Yvette Marie DeChavez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines texts that articulate a temporary escape for Black Americans from today's anti-Blackness. These sites, which I call "loopholes of retreat," provide momentary bodily safety and critical distance that allow for an unearthing of new ways to counteract the cycle of anti-Blackness that has continued since slavery. I frame my project with a discussion of Harriet Jacobs's narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, the true account of Jacobs's life as a slave and her journey to freedom by way of a tiny space she called her "loophole of retreat." In 2005, the disablements to understanding, civic solidarity, and empathy--consequences of ongoing anti-Blackness--were revealed when Hurricane Katrina hit, largely affecting Black communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama due to a history of racial discrimination and segregation. I argue that in the contemporary moment, like Jacobs, people of color have managed to locate their own loopholes of retreat, working within them to challenge dominant ideologies and the political and social institutions that continue to punish, silence, and subjugate minority populations in America. These loopholes offer a peephole through which inhabitants can view the world from a relatively safe distance, "free" from the physical and psychological dangers of anti-Blackness. Here, the gaze shifts, allowing bodies of color to witness racist acts although they remain a target of racism. Building from Katherine McKittrick's definition of the loophole as a paradoxical space, I posit that, removed from the outside world and looking at rather than participating in, one who occupies a contemporary loophole of retreat also exists in-between time, as they are neither forced to obey the standards of linear time nor are they completely removed from its existence. Here, history is alive, and the connections between the past, present, and future are palpable, embodied in the bodies of color that take refuge in the garret. As such, possibilities for new alternatives to anti-Blackness exist, alternatives that neither repeat the past nor completely reject its existence, but instead work within history to, ideally, change the future such that Black Americans are capable of more than just survival.
Download or read book Anxious Power written by Carol J. Singley and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the conflicting feelings of anxiety and empowerment that women, historically excluded from masculine discourse, feel when they read and write, and it analyzes narrative strategies that reveal this ambivalence. Anxious Power draws upon feminist literary theory, narrative theory, and reader-response criticism to define women's ambivalence toward language. It is the first collection to address issues of ambivalence in narrative by women, to trace those issues from the medieval period to the present, and to outline a theoretical framework for understanding them. The contributors address a broad spectrum of female literary voices ranging from familiar British and American writers (Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Willa Cather), and those less well known (Jane Barker, Caroline Lee Henz, Susan Warner, Sarah Grand, and Fanny Howe), to European, Canadian, African-American, South and Latin American, and Asian American writers (Christine de Pizan, Marie-Catherine d'Aulnoy, Margaret Atwood, Harriet Jacobs, Toni Morrison, Clarice Lispector, Sandra Cisneros, and Maxine Hong Kingston). Anxious Power considers forms of women's narrative ranging from fairy tales through romances, novels, and autobiographies, to feminist metafiction.

Book Synopsis Autobiographical Inscriptions by : Barbara Ruth Rodriguez
Download or read book Autobiographical Inscriptions written by Barbara Ruth Rodriguez and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By engaging current approaches to the genre, Autobiographical Inscriptions breaks new ground in the field of autobiography studies. The book is centered in a discussion of the ways that innovations of form and structure contain and bolster arguments for personhood articulated by Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, Hisaye Yamamoto, Maxine Hong Kingston, Leslie Marmon Silko, Adrienne Kennedy, and Cecile Pineda. Organized thematically, with each chapter focusing on central questions of form, this work pairs canonized texts with less well-known works, reading autobiographical works across cultural contexts, historical periods, and artistic media, and illustrating the stunning range of formal strategies available to and adopted by the American woman writer of color.

Book Synopsis Legal Spectatorship by : Kelli Moore
Download or read book Legal Spectatorship written by Kelli Moore and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Legal Spectatorship Kelli Moore traces the political origins of the concept of domestic violence through visual culture in the United States. Tracing its appearance in Article IV of the Constitution, slave narratives, police notation, cybernetic theories of affect, criminal trials, and the “look” of the battered woman, Moore contends that domestic violence refers to more than violence between intimate partners—it denotes the mechanisms of racial hierarchy and oppression that undergird republican government in the United States. Moore connects the use of photographic evidence of domestic violence in courtrooms, which often stands in for women’s testimony, to slaves’ silent experience and witnessing of domestic abuse. Drawing on Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, abolitionist print culture, courtroom witness testimony, and the work of Hortense Spillers, Moore shows how the logic of slavery and antiblack racism also dictates the silencing techniques of the contemporary domestic violence courtroom. By positioning testimony on contemporary domestic violence prosecution within the archive of slavery, Moore demonstrates that domestic violence and its image are haunted by black bodies, black flesh, and black freedom.

Book Synopsis Empire in Retreat by : Victor Bulmer-Thomas
Download or read book Empire in Retreat written by Victor Bulmer-Thomas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-27 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of the United States through the lens of empire—and an incisive look forward as the nation retreats from the global stage A respected authority on international relations and foreign policy, Victor Bulmer-Thomas offers a grand survey of the United States as an empire. From its territorial expansion after independence, through hegemonic rule following World War II, to the nation’s current imperial retreat, the United States has had an uneasy relationship with the idea of itself as an empire. In this book Bulmer-Thomas offers three definitions of empire—territorial, informal, and institutional—that help to explain the nation’s past and forecast a future in which the United States will cease to play an imperial role. Arguing that the move toward diminished geopolitical dominance reflects the aspirations of most U.S. citizens, he asserts that imperial retreat does not necessarily mean national decline and may ultimately strengthen the nation-state. At this pivotal juncture in American history, Bulmer-Thomas’s uniquely global perspective will be widely read and discussed across a range of fields.

Book Synopsis Race, Gender and Empire in American Detective Fiction by : John Cullen Gruesser
Download or read book Race, Gender and Empire in American Detective Fiction written by John Cullen Gruesser and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights detection's malleability by analyzing the works of particular groups of authors from specific time periods written in response to other texts. It traces the roles that gender, race and empire have played in American detective fiction from Edgar Allan Poe's works through the myriad variations upon them published before 1920 to hard-boiled fiction (the origins of which derive in part from turn-of-the-20th-century notions about gender, race and nationality), and it concludes with a discussion of contemporary mystery series with inner-city settings that address black male and female heroism.
