| Итог: | This essay explores how considering the treatment and location of black bodies in the American figurative and literal imagination forces us to reconsider the place of eros as a mechanism for archival ethics. Through an examination the commentary provided by Lynne Huffer’s essay “Strange Eros” (2016) and consideration of Michel Foucault’s treatment of the historical a priori, I reveal how eros, while powerful in its potential as a political possibility, is also a strange consideration for black people. With the #BlackLivesMatter movement as a contemporary site of black futurity, I contend that the intersection of eros, political possibility, and black existence point to opportunities for systemic change that will free black bodies - whether gendered, sexed, and/or queered - from the rigid constructions of embodiment upon which they were initially framed. |
