Beschreibung
Uses an intersectional and intertextual methodology to present a rigorous yet accessible study of Black queer women artists in theater and film. In A Conditional Embrace,. Kristyl D. Tift seeks to understand how Black queer women theater and film artists depict their own survival in heterosexist temporalities and spaces. Using the framework of lovin' on. -a theory inspired by Black feminist thought, performance theory, and queer theory-Tift closely reads the works of a selection of artists to investigate the "conditional embrace" of Black queer art in society. Her intersectional and intertextual methodology considers the text and body as part and parcel of performance work, allowing her to examine the multiple and complex intersections of identity at play in works meant to be read and. performed. Tift puts the work of more visible artists such as Dee Rees, Sharon Bridgforth, and Staceyann Chin in direct conversation with lesser-known contributors to Black queer feminist performance such as Shirlene Holmes and Donnetta Lavinia Grays, analyzing not only their plays, installations, and poetry but also interviews, personal essays, performances, and more. Centering the works of artists situated, by birth or migration, in the Southern US and the Caribbean, A Conditional Embrace. explores how artists at the margins of art and society represent Black queer women's survival through processes of self-making, community-building, and homemaking.
