Black feminist ancestors like Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Wanda Coleman, and Toni Morrison have taught us that centering rage and anger is an important part of understanding and analyzing epistemic and hermeneutic injustice. Focusing on the role of negative affect in public spaces and the ways in which it is institutionally controlled, elucidates how the regulation of emotion is fundamental in upholding liberal humanist definitions of subjectivity. Emotional control thus functions as an important strategy to reify supposed human difference and structures of discrimination.
Following up on thoughts from her book Why Are You So Angry? Anger and Rage in Black Feminist Literature (Peter Lang, 2024) Anne Potjans will be in conversation with Malika Stuerznickel and Rebecca Racine Ramershoven about anger and rage, and the role of negative affect in creating and navigating Black feminist live worlds.
Hopscotch Reading Room will be present with a book table. We invite you to stick around after the event for some chatting, mingling and book browsing.
