요약"Hushed Articulations: Theorizing Representations of Black Women's Post-Violence Sexuality" interrogates representations of Black women's sexuality in the aftermath of sexual violence - what I term "post-violence sexuality." Following feminist and anti-rape activism of the 1970s and 1980s, the prevalence and ramifications of sexual violence gained public, activist, and intellectual attention. However, neoliberal subject formation and entrenched public reliance on personal empowerment rather than social, political, or institutional intervention have converged and contributed to increasingly polarized conceptualizations of victimhood and survivorship in the 21st century. Black women's relationship to these post-violence identities is especially fraught. "Hushed Articulations" intervenes in rape crisis and anti-rape feminist debates by considering Black women's specific cultural relationship to the prevailing linear conceptualization of trauma recovery that delineates transformation from victim to survivor or discursively prioritizes survivor over victim when addressing people who have experienced sexual violence.Adding to a growing body of Black feminist literary and cultural criticism that theorizes the relationship between violence, autonomy, and Black women's sexuality, this dissertation examines the murky overlap of arousal, trauma, and compulsory performative heroism in Black women's articulations of post-violence sexuality to demythologize both victimhood and survivorship. "Hushed Articulations" argues that a fuller range of Black women's post-violence sexuality and possibility is represented in Black women's fiction and memoir - a range that is not reliant on dichotomized social constructions of victimhood and survivorship, and that other forms of media created for and about people who have experienced sexual violence often leave unacknowledged.Chapter one is a broad overview of anti-rape activism in the United States, establishing how the nuances of post-violence sexuality and identity are underrepresented. By examining several peaks of anti-rape activism in the U.S., beginning with the Congressional testimonies of five Black women following the 1866 Memphis Riots, and culminating with the #MeToo Movement, this chapter establishes how Black women lead national conversations on bodily autonomy. The second chapter features a close reading of Charlotte Pierce-Baker's anthology Surviving the Silence: Black Women's Stories of Rape, alongside Aishah Shahidah Simmons' NO! The Rape Documentary, Surviving R. Kelly, and Surviving R. Kelly II: The Reckoning limited series executive produced by Tamra Simmons and dream hampton to identify if, when, and how these sources grapple with post-violence sexual and identificatory complexity. The third and fourth chapters of this project are literary analyses of Gayl Jones's Corregidora and Roxane Gay's Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body as representations of a fuller range of post-violence sexual and identificatory possibility that disrupt formulas of linear recovery and 'redemption' after rape. These sites reflect the interlocking social institutions and social scripts that shape how Black women's post-violence sexuality is popularly discussed, imagined, and constructed.
