Rape and the Inner Lives of Black Women in the Middle West: Preliminary Thoughts on the Culture of Dissemblance. Because of the brutal history of racialized sexual coercion and violence, many Black women have inherited what feminist historian Darlene Clark Hine calls Black women's "culture of dissemblance," or self-imposed silence about sexuality, which has functioned as a mechanism to protect a sense of self, womanhood and identity from attack. This remains true of Georges Didi-Huberman's 1990 study Fra Angelico: Dissemblance and Figuration, in which he attempts to grasp the assertively inventive strangeness of the decorated world in Angelico's paintings, the tendency of the artist's draperies, marbles, and landscape settings to assume a kind of mesmerizingly nondescriptive or abstract character. |
