Abstract

Une étude consacrée aux héroïnes noires du répertoire théâtral qui ont fait l'objet d'une occultation et d'une invisibilisation sous l'influence des enjeux coloniaux du siècle classique. Parmi elles, Andromède, Egyptienne blanchie par Corneille, ou Cléopâtre, personnage de Shakespeare incarnée par des femmes blanches, malgré la description de l'auteur. ©Electre 2020 Une idée répandue voudrait qu'il n'y ait pas d'héroïnes noires au répertoire et par conséquent pas vraiment de grands rôles au théâtre pour les comédiennes afro-descendantes. Mais est-ce bien vrai ? Les héroïnes à la peau sombre de l'histoire n'ont-elles pas plutôt perdu leur couleur sous l'influence des enjeux coloniaux au siècle classique ? Corneille fait le choix délibéré de blanchir son Andromède. Fille d'Egypte à la peau trop foncée pour être aimable, on fera de la Cléopâtre de Shakespeare une Pharaonne à la peau laiteuse sous un soleil de plomb, détournant les mots de l'auteur. Du même Shakespeare, on supprimera des répliques entières de Peines d'amour perdues, que des siècles d'effacement ne permettent plus d'entendre aujourd'hui. Occultation, invisibilisation, décoloration... les figures théâtrales à la peau sombre ont disparu du paysage dramatique avec l'histoire coloniale, c'est ce qu'entreprend de montrer cet ouvrage qui part sur les traces de ces héroïnes du répertoire moins blanches qu'on ne croit.De quoi renverser dénis et préjugés et relire autrement le répertoire.

Abstract

In Thinking Through Crisis, James Edward Ford III examines the works of Richard Wright, Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, and Langston Hughes during the 1930s in order to articulate a materialist theory of trauma. Ford highlights the dark proletariat’s emergence from the multitude apposite to white supremacist agendas. In these works, Ford argues, proletarian, modernist, and surrealist aesthetics transform fugitive slaves, sharecroppers, leased convicts, levee workers, and activist intellectuals into protagonists of anti-racist and anti-capitalist movements in the United States.Thinking Through Crisis intervenes in debates on the 1930s, radical subjectivity, and states of emergency. It will be of interest to scholars of American literature, African American literature, proletarian literature, black studies, trauma theory, and political theory.

Abstract

Thinking through Crisis turns to 1930s African American literature to offer a critical response to Trauma Theory. This theoretical discourse carries a nostalgia for "European Man" that limits its understanding of racial and class antagonisms. Consequently, its version of "bearing witness" yields a political passivity that cannot address the injustices of racism as they are linked to class conflict. Against the political passivity produced by this idealist approach, this book offers a materialist theory of trauma that develops concepts for identifying the agency that Black life produces amid social breakdown.

Abstract

"In A Question of Character, Cathy Boeckmann establishes a strong link between racial questions and the development of literary traditions at the end of the 19th century in America. This period saw the rise of "scientific racism," which claimed that the races were distinguished not solely by exterior appearance but also by a set of inherited character traits. As Boeckmann explains, this emphasis on character meant that race was not only a thematic concern in the literature of the period but also a generic or formal one as well." "Boeckmann explores the intersections between race and literary history by tracing the language of character through both scientific and literary writing."--Jacket.
