Moving beyond the study of identity and difference in media, Eva Cherniavsky asserts that race can be understood as a sign of the body's relation to capital. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eIncorporations, \u003c\/i\u003eCherniavsky interrogates the interplay of nationalism, colonialism, and capitalism in the production of racial embodiment. Testing the links between race and capital, \u003ci\u003eIncorporations \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how media culture transmutes white bodies into commodity-images in such films as \u003ci\u003eBlonde Venus, A Touch of Evil, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eFargo\u003c\/i\u003e, in the television series \u003ci\u003eThe Simpsons\u003c\/i\u003e, and in the fiction of Octavia Butler and Leslie Marmon Silko.
