Abstract

This special collection assembles some of the most pre-eminent scholars in the field in African, African American, and American Studies to explore the ways writers reclaim the Black female body in African American literature using the theoretical, social, cultural, and religious frameworks of spirituality and religion. Central to these discussions is Black women’s agency within these realms—their uncanny ability to invent and reinvent themselves within individual and communal spaces that frame them as both outsider and insider, unworthy and worthy, deviant and sacred, excess and minimal. Scholars have sought to discuss these tensions, acknowledged and affirmed in prose, poetry, music, essays, speeches, written plays, or short stories. Forgiveness, healing, redemption, and reclamation provide entry into these vibrant explorations of self-discovery, passion, and self-creation that interrogate traditional views of what is spiritual and what is religious. Discussed writers include Toni Morrison, Phillis Wheatley, James Baldwin, Tina McElroy Ansa, Toni Cade Bambara, and Thomas Dorsey.

Abstract

During the second half of the 20th century, architecture and feminism have independently adopted and developed critiques of modern Western theoretical conventions and reappraised the impulse towards social reform. Beyond this parallel shift in critical perspective, how are these two seemingly disparate disciplines related? This volume addresses this question through diverse essays and projects, articles range from a definition of new possibilities for a feminist architecture to an analysis of the "Playboy" bachelor pad. Other essays include discussions of Niki de Saint-Phalle and Edith Wharton.
