Abstract

"Peter Fine's innovative study traces the development of a mass visual culture in the United States, focusing on how new visual technologies played a part in embedding racializ d ideas about African Americans, and how whiteness was privileged within modernist ideals of visual form. Fine considers the visual and material manifestations of this process through the history of three important technologies of the art of mechanical reproduction - typography, lithography, and photography, and then moves on to consider how racialized representation has been configured and contested within contemporary film and television, fine art and digital design"--

Abstract

Explores the deployment of racial thinking and racial formations in the visual culture of the pre-modern world. The capacious visual archive studied in this volume includes a trove of materials such as annotated or illuminated manuscripts, Renaissance costume books and travel books, maps and cartographic volumes produced by Europeans as well as Indigenous peoples, mass-printed pamphlets, jewelry, decorative arts, religious iconography, paintings from around the world, ceremonial objects, festival books, and play texts intended for live performance. Contributors explore the deployment of what coeditor Noémie Ndiaye calls "the racial matrix" and its interconnected paradigms across the medieval and early modern chronological divide and across vast transnational and multilingual geographies. This volume uses items from the Fall 2023 exhibition "Seeing Race Before Race"-a collaboration between RaceB4Race and the Newberry Library-as a starting point for an ambitious theoretical conversation between premodern race studies, art history, performance studies, book history, and critical race theory.

Abstract

"Comment écrire un livre sur une notion problématique, la race, qui a forgé une idéologie de la domination ? Comment la réinvestir en l'articulant à un corpus d'objets spécifiques — les oeuvres d'art représentant des figures noires — qui furent à la fois fétichisés et neutralisés par le musée et le discours ? Et enfin, comment historiciser, tout en gardant à l'esprit leur force essentialisante : l'art, la race, l'Africain et les Lumières, catégories qui ne fonctionnent pas seulement dans la compréhension que l'on peut en avoir dans un temps donné — celui, grossièrement, du XVIIIe siècle — mais qui ont une valeur heuristique par-delà leurs usages initiaux ? Ce sont ces questions qui ont présidé à l'initiative de ce livre. Fondé sur une recherche de plus de dix ans sur les formes qu'ont prises les représentations des Noirs dans l'art français d'avant l'imaginaire abolitionniste, il couvre l'art et les cultures visuelles qui vont de la fin du XVIIe siècle, quand les colonies antillaises commencèrent à percer dans le champ artistique métropolitain, au premier tiers du XIXe siècle quand l'échec de la première abolition de l'esclavage (1802) durcit l'iconographie partisane en mettant la violence des vies dans les plantations à l'ordre du jour de la création artistique."

Abstract

"The Holocaust is considered a singularly atrocious event in human history, and many people have studied its causes. Yet few questions have been asked about the ways in which West Germans have "forgotten," unlearned, or reconstructed the racial beliefs at the core of the Nazi state in order to build a democratic society. This study looks at ethnic drag as one particular kind of performance that reveals how postwar Germans lived, disavowed, and contested "Germanness" in its complex racial, national, and sexual dimensions. Using engaging case studies, Ethnic Drag traces the classical and travestied traditions of Jewish impersonation from the eighteenth century onward to construct a pre-history of postwar ethnic drag. It examines how shortly after World War II mass culture and popular practices facilitated the repression and refashioning of Nazi racial precepts. During a time when American occupation authorities insisted on remembrance and redress for the Holocaust, the Wild West emerged as a displaced theater of the racial imagination, where the roles of victim, avenger, and perpetrator of genocide were reassigned"--Publisher's description
