Introduction. Black beings, black embodyings: notes on contemporary artistic performances and their cultural interpretations / Jean-Paul Rocchi with Anne Cre��mieux and Xavier Lemoine -- Black being, black embodying: the power of auto-ethnography. Each taking risk, performing self: theorizing (dis)narratives / Myron Beasley -- Transformative womanist rhetorical strategies: contextualizing discourse and the performance of black bodies of desire / Toniesha L. Taylor -- "Is anybody walkin"?: the black body on the runway as a performance of the politics of desire / Gayle Baldwin -- Shattered frames and the onlooker: strategies and significations. Transgressive (re)presentations: black women, vaudeville and the politics of performance in early trans-Atlantic theatre/ Zakiya R. Adair -- Kara Walker's War on racism: mining (mis)representations of blackness / Vanina Gere -- Between Mumblecore and post-black Aesthetics: Barry Jenkins's Medicine for melancholy / Simon Dickel -- From book to film: desire in Precious (Lee Daniels, 2009), adapted from Push by Sapphire (1995) / Anne Cre��mieux -- Through performance: desire and the black subject. Black queer studies, freedom and other human possibilities / Rinaldo Walcott -- About face, or, what is this "back" in b(l)ack popular culture?: from Venus Hottentot to video hottie / Mae G. Henderson -- Margin me: intentional marginality in the queered borderlands of hiphop / Stephany Spaulding -- Shifting paradigms of identities. Sculpting black queer bodies and desires: the case of Richmond Barth / James Smalls -- I am not a race man: racial uplift and the post-black aesthetic in Percival Everett's I am not Sidney Poitier / Kristin Leigh Moriah -- Embodying hybridity: Anna Deavere Smith's identity cross-overs / Xavier Lemoine.

How does the performance of blackness reframe issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality? Resistance and redeployment strategies inform the world of black theatre, performance, and theory, generating a multiplicity of positions from an intersectional perspective. Here, the contributors look into representational practices in film, music, literature, sculpture, video, vaudeville, fashion, and theatre and explore how they have fleshed out political struggles, while recognizing that they have sometimes maintained the mechanisms of violence against blacks. These practices have opened up new territories that require scrutiny today.
