Abstract:
|
Presenting fraught interactions of race, class, and gender, Kara Walker’s antebellum-inflected silhouettes have drawn controversy as well as acclaim. Most infamously, Betye Saar’s late 1990s letter campaign alleged that Walker traffics in stereotypes for the pleasure of the elite white art market. The question raised by the controversy is fundamental: Can Walker's work be productively recuperated from a feminist, African-American, or queer studies perspective? Using Walker’s 1998 work Cut, my paper theorizes a possible political reclamation of the raced and gendered violence represented in this piece and in Walker’s oeuvre more broadly. |
