Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Continuing his project of critical analysis of the scriptural formation of culture, Vincent L. Wimbush has gathered in this book essays by scholars of various backgrounds and orientations who focus in different registers on the theme of masquerade as the play-element in modern culture. Masquerade functions as a window onto the mimetic performances, dynamics, arrangements, psycho-logics, and politics (scripturalizing) by which the made-up becomes fixed or one among our realities (scripturalization). Modern-world racialization (and its attendant explosions into racialisms and racisms) as the hyper-scripturalization of difference in human flesh (registered in psychosocial relations as a type of scripture) is argued in this book to be one of the most consequential examples and reflections of masquerade and thereby one of the primary impetuses behind, and determinants of, the shape of the realities of modernities. The open window onto these realities is facilitated by touchstone references tonot exhaustive treatment ofa now famous eighteenth-century life story, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written by Himself (1789). This story, told by a complexly positioned Black-fleshed self-acknowledged ex-slave/stranger, is itself a mask-ing that throws light on the predominantly white Anglophone world as masking (as scriptural formation). Equiano/Vassas story as masking helps makes a compelling case for analyzing through Black flesh the ongoing shaping of the modern and the perduring mixed if not also devastating consequences. This book focuses on the hyper-scripturalization (or the persistent degradation) of Black flesh, with the phenomenon of masquerade conceptualized as analytical wedge that makes a compelling case for seeing how our ongoing modern realities, with mixed and too often devastating consequences, are constructed.
