By investigating enactments of whiteness--from the use of white makeup and suggestive masks, to literary motifs and cultural narratives regarding "white" characteristics and qualities--Faedra Chatard Carpenter explores how artists have challenged commonly held notions of racial identity. Through its layered study of expressive culture, her book considers how artistic and performance strategies are used to "color" whiteness and complicate blackness in our contemporary moment. Utilizing theories of performance and critical race studies, Coloring Whiteness is also propelled by Carpenter's dramaturgical sensibilities. Her analysis of primary performance texts is informed not only by traditional print and visual materials, but also by her interviews with African American theater artists, visual artists, and cultural critics. The book is an invaluable contribution to the fields of theater and performance studies, African American studies, cultural studies, critical race studies, and American studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $aColoring Whiteness rende omaggio ai modi in cui artisti e performer afroamericani hanno interrogato i tropi e le mitologie della bianchezza per rivelare le disuguaglianze razziali, concentrandosi su sketch comici, teatro di strada, arte visiva, video, giornalismo televisivo e lavori di voice over dal 1964 Di indagando sulle rappresentazioni della bianchezza - dall'uso del trucco bianco e maschere suggestive, ai motivi letterari e alle narrazioni culturali riguardanti le caratteristiche e le qualità "bianche" - Faedra Chatard Carpenter esplora come gli artisti hanno sfidato le nozioni comunemente accettate di identità razziale. Attraverso il suo studio a strati della cultura espressiva, il suo libro considera come le strategie artistiche e performative vengono utilizzate per "colorare" il bianco e complicare il nero nel nostro momento contemporaneo. 410 0$aTheater--text/theory/performance. 606 0 $aAfroamericani$xArtisti$xStoria$zSec. 20.$2BNCF 676 $a792.08996073 700 1$aCARPENTER,$bFaedra Chatard$01070361 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 801 1$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996448444903316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aColoring whiteness$92558323 997 $aUNISA
