Abstract
With this keynote I wish to explore both the textually mediated moments Black audiences locked ourselves into a sort of immutable visible representation as progress, with all the consequences that followed, as well as the moments where identificatory play and recognitions find their way despite and in spite of our good intentioned folly. Unpacking the truth concerning the potency of feeling represented is for Black audiences, and Black women audiences in particular, can maybe offer insights into developing more resonant kinds of visibility.
Ineloquent Truths about Representation From the Represented
With this keynote I wish to explore both the textually mediated moments Black audiences locked ourselves into a sort of immutable visible representation as progress, with all the consequences that followed, as well as the moments where identificatory play and recognitions find their way despite and in spite of our good intentioned folly. Unpacking the truth concerning the potency of feeling represented is for Black audiences, and Black women audiences in particular, can maybe offer insights into developing more resonant kinds of visibility.
