Between You and I
Dialogical PhenomenologyBeata Stawarska
Ohio University Press, 2009
Classical phenomenology has suffered from an individualist bias and a neglect of the communicative structure of experience, especially the phenomenological importance of the addressee, the inseparability of I and You, and the nature of the alternation between them. Beata Stawarska remedies this neglect by bringing relevant contributions from cognate empirical disciplines—such as sociolinguistics and developmental psychology, as well as the dialogic tradition in philosophy—to bear on phenomenological inquiry. Taken together, these contributions substantiate an alternative view of primary I-You connectedness and help foreground the dialogic dimension of both prediscursive and discursive experience. Between You and I suggests that phenomenology is best practiced in a dialogical engagement with other disciplines.
Beverley Ditsie's Fearless Speech
A Dialogue on the Pitfalls of Queer StruggleSharad Chari with Beverley Palesa Ditsie
Temple University Press, 2027
Beverley Palesa Ditsie is a key South African Black lesbian activist, part of a world of queer activism during South Africa’s decade of transition from apartheid, when sexuality was crucial to recircuiting post-apartheid power and possibility. Part of the Gay and Lesbian Organization of the Witwatersrand (GLOW) which organized the continent’s first Pride March, she has stood steadfastly for Black lesbian self-determination and African queer representation.
Beverley Ditsie’s Fearless Speech enters this recent history of sexuality politics through an activist and a critical theorist in conversation. This book bends an account of Ditsie’s life and work in the critique of racial and sexual capitalism. Grounded in South Africa, the conversation is cut through with radical queer, materialist, and feminist critique in an internationalist frame.
Through this dialogic form, Beverley Ditsie emerges alongside other figures of fearless speech willing to stand for Black and African queer liberation, yet aware of pitfalls in these struggles that point to work that remains to be done. Beverley Ditsie’s Fearless Speech is a cautionary tale of hope for radical change in a world of deepening injustice and political homophobia.
Black Feminist Constellations
Dialogue and Translation across the AmericasEdited by Christen A. Smith and Lorraine Leu
University of Texas Press, 2023
A collection of essays, interviews, and conversations by and between scholars, activists, and artists from Latin America and the Caribbean that paints a portrait of Black women's experiences across the region.
Black women in Latin America and the Caribbean suffer a triple erasure: as Black people, as women, and as non-English speakers in a global environment dominated by the Anglophone North. Black Feminist Constellations is a passionate and necessary corrective. Focused on and written by Black women of the southern Americas, the original works composing this volume make legible the epistemologies that sustain radical scholarship, art, and political organizing by Black women everywhere.
In essays, poems, and dialogues, the writers in Black Feminist Constellations reimagine liberation from the perspectives of radical South American and Caribbean Black women thinkers. The volume’s methodologically innovative approach reflects how Black women come together to theorize the world and challenges the notion that the university is the only site where knowledge can emerge. A major work of intellectual history, Black Feminist Constellations amplifies rarely heard voices, centers the uncanonized, and celebrates the overlooked work of Black women.
