Sobre IBD

This book models an ex-centric orientation to the study of modern formation as the study of the hyper-signification ("scripturalization") of difference as racialization/racism. As Black flesh came to be identified as persistent baseline for difference, it opens windows onto mimetic translations ("scripturalizing") of all modern subjectivities.

  • Scripturalectics

Wimbush argues that this narrowing of the valence of the term wa...
