Black (W)holes, Black Feminism(s), and Black Feeling

The seminar takes-up black women’s “self-defined sexualities.” What is a black feminist arrangement of erotic feeling, pleasure, and sexuality? What are its coordinates? Conditions? How might they change? We ground our exploration in close study of black feminist poetics—the specific formal and creative choices that poets, fiction writers, visual artists, and others use to critically examine life in art. Enrollment limited to 17.
