Title:

Radical beauty - constructing discourse on new negritude.

Title in English:

Headline:

Radikalna lepota kot družbena reprezentacija nove črnskosti ali v odstiranju belih mask

Headline in English:

Radical beauty as a social representation of new negritude or removing the white masks

Description of Idea

Video clip from the movie RIZE is a cultural text which can be read in different ways, from different points of view. In this essay with theoretical background I will reflect radical beauty shown in this video as a social representation of new negritude by reconstructing black cultural identity and building up new discourse based on race. I will focus on the dilemma whether this social representation has the sufficient power to free itself from the dominant white American discourse placing black people at a specific place in social hierarchy and finding themselves being placed at those positions.

Žal (pre)pozno odgovarjam na ta komentar .. pa vseeno: Obama je definitvno fenomen, ki bi si ga želela podrobneje preučit, zaenkrat ti ne ne morem dat odgovora, pa če se še tk trudim. Vem pa, da ima naš S. Žižek prav presenetljive analize Obame, kot vedno, šokira :)
