Journal Article
Toward a Black Feminist Poethics
2014
Overview
From without the World as all know it, where the category of blackness exists in/as thought--always already a referent of commodity, an object, and the other; as fact beyond evidence--a poethics of blackness would announce a whole range of possibilities for owing, doing, and existing. For releasing Blackness from the registers of the object, the commodity, or the other would halt the trial of Trayvon Martin's killer before it is added to the already huge library of racial facts and precedents that authorize racial violence. For the acquittal of George Zimmerman must force them into radicalizing the task and target the very mode of representation, and its philosophical assumptions, that provides those meanings to Blackness which justify Martin's killing and of so many other black persons, before and after. Here, da Silva discusses black feminist poethics.
