Through interviews, close readings, and archival research, Judd draws on the fields of affect studies and Black studies to analyze the creative processes and contributions of Black women--from poet Lucille Clifton and musician Avery*Sunshine to visual artists Betye Saar, Joyce J. Scott, and Deana Lawson. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeelin: Creative Practice, Pleasure, and Black Feminist Thought\u003c\/i\u003e makes a bold and vital intervention in critical theory's trend toward disembodying feeling as knowledge. Instead, Judd revitalizes current debates in Black studies about the concept of the human and about Black life by considering how discourses on emotion as they are explored by Black women artists offer alternatives to the concept of the human. Judd expands the notions of Black women's pleasure politics in Black feminist studies that include the erotic, the sexual, the painful, the joyful, the shameful, and the sensations and emotions that yet have no name. In its richly multidisciplinary approach, \u003ci\u003eFeelin \u003c\/i\u003ecalls for the development of research methods that acknowledge creative and emotionally rigorous work as productive by incorporating visual art, narrative, and poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bettina Judd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810145332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810145337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.08h x 7.09w x 0.79d","brand":"Bettina Judd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070848200959,"sku":"9780810145337","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a4e1c4e-adc3-4214-b8ea-f48813e10e7b.jpg?v=1685432689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feelin-bettina-judd-9780810145337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
