SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Discussion: Reading David Sterling Brown's "'Hood feminism': Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era"
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerPlease join us on Monday\, October 17th\, at 1 PM for a reading group discussion of David Sterling Brown’s recent article\, “‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era\,” and “Teaching guide for: ‘Hood feminism’: Whiteness and segregated (premodern) scholarly discourse in the post-postracial era.” Both works appeared in the 2021 special issue of Literature Compass\, “Race Before Race: Premodern Critical Race Studies\,” edited by Dorothy Kim. As the first Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender RFG event of the new academic year\, we will begin by continuing last year’s conversations on un-disciplining and re-disciplining premodern studies with with Brown’s phenomenal work. Please email jessicazisa@ucsb.edu or reemtaha@ucsb.edu for access to the reading or to be added to the Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group email list for future event information. \nSponsored by the IHC’s Un-disciplining Premodern Histories of Race and Gender Research Focus Group

SUMMARY:RFG Talk: The Double Consciousness of Henry Box Brown in Four Acts
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerIf Henry Box Brown is known to contemporary audiences\, then it is as the slave who achieved freedom by mailing himself in a box from Virginia to Philadelphia in 1849. While critics have explored this incredible event\, less attention has been focused on Brown’s subsequent life as the performer of a moving diorama in England\, a mesmerist\, and a prestidigitator. Taking up his fascinating boxing experience\, but also shedding more light on his later “acts\,” as I call them\, I argue that Brown used his performances of the black body to construct a new idea of “double consciousness\,” Du Bois’s classic term for the psychological splitting of African-American subjectivity. By exploring the way that Brown used his performative acts to construct a conscious body—minding the body\, as it were—I argue that he offered a new “onto-possibility\,” as Jane Bennett calls it\, one that traded the ontological clarity of mind-over-body for the more capacious\, if murkier\, understanding of a mind-in-body ontology. Double consciousness thus becomes not a matter of psychological splitting\, I argue\, but rather the discovery of consciousness not in the mind alone\, but also in the often-objectified body of the chattel slave. In this way\, Brown’s performative ventures—as someone emerging theatrically from a box\, as a curator of his panorama\, as a black magician—makes double consciousness a wedge for telling an alternative history of black identity formation in the nineteenth century. \nMatthew Rebhorn is Roop Distinguished Professor of English at James Madison University. He is the author of Pioneer Performances: Staging the Frontier (Oxford University Press\, 2012) and has recently completed Minding the Body: The Animate Body in Antebellum American Literature (Oxford University Press\, under contract). \nSponsored by Literature and the Mind (UCSB\, English); American Cultures and Global Contexts Center (UCSB\, English); the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center’s Slavery\, Captivity\, and the Meaning of Freedom Research Focus Group
