2023 Walk of the Heroines Annual Lecture at Portland State with Professor Bettina Judd

2023 Walk of the Heroines Annual Lecture at Portland State with Professor Bettina Judd

Virtual Event! 1pm-2:30pm PST

Please join the Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies department for the Walk of the Heroines annual lecture. This year's lecture by Professor Judd is titled "Feelin."

Feelin is not feeling. The poet, artist, and scholar Dr. Bettina Judd turns to the creative processes and contributions of Black women artists, writers, and poets to talk about feelin—how Black women artists approach and produce knowledge as sensation: internal and complex, entangled with pleasure, pain, anger, and joy, and manifesting artistic production itself as the meaning of the work. Judd will take a word from African American Vernacular English and a concept from Black women to ask us to think critically about critical theory’s trend toward disembodying feelin. Judd's talk will bring us to how Black women artists offer alternatives to the concept of the human to include the erotic, the sexual, the painful, the joyful, the shameful, and the sensations and emotions that have no name as of yet. By incorporating visual art, narrative, and poetry, Judd will speak to how feelin calls for the development of research methods that acknowledge creative and emotionally rigorous work as productive.

Feelin: The Book Launch Party (East Coast)

VIRTUAL OPTION AVAILABLE

(Link forthcoming.)

6:30 EST 23:30 GMT

Join us for the first public event which also celebrates the release of Feelin: Creative Practice, Pleasure, and Black Feminist Thought. There will be a salon style talk with luminary thinkers in Black and Black feminist studies who will join Bettina Judd in discussion: Jessica Marie Johnson, Tiffany Lethabo King, and Izetta Autumn Mobley. #BLACKTERPS

Feeling is not feelin. As the poet, artist, and scholar Bettina Judd argues, feelin, in African American Vernacular English, is how Black women artists approach and produce knowledge as sensation: internal and complex, entangled with pleasure, pain, anger, and joy, and manifesting artistic production itself as the meaning of the work. 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. Feelin: Creative Practice, Pleasure, and Black Feminist Thought 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, Feelin calls for the development of research methods that acknowledge creative and emotionally rigorous work as productive by incorporating visual art, narrative, and poetry.
