Class Description:
In this course we will examine the multiple ways that black women writers, scholars, activists, and playwrights have theorized space, spatiality, and resistance. We will explore how diverse women of African descent have constructed and reimagined space and identity in the context of survival in different parts of the world. One key theme that will be explored is how ?blackness? as both a resistant discourse and a performative identity has shaped black women's engagements with social movements, public art and theatre. Black women's place-making efforts will be considered as well as their efforts to reimagine community through multiple forms of political agency. This course offers a provocative combination of contemporary black feminist ethnography, critical biographies, cultural and literary criticism, and plays. We will examine the intersections between black queer studies and black feminism, while emphasizing radical re-thinkings of identity, sexual agency, and resistance. We will learn to critically assess the new epistemological and methodological approaches that black women have developed, paying close attention to how the workings of time, space, and place have factored into the writing and theorizing of new classic, yet understudied texts. We will explore new writings in black feminist internationalism and black feminist post-colonialism, as well as new histories that have been written about black women's experiences in the U.S. during the Cold War period, the Civil Rights Movement, and contemporary urban social movements.
