Autore: Giuliani, Gaia Titolo: Assegnazione del colore e "agency" Periodico: Filosofia politica Anno: 2012 - Fascicolo: 1 - Pagina iniziale: 51 - Pagina finale: 64
The essay focuses on the relationship between colour, processes of racialisation and agency in a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective, with a particular focus on the British and English-speaking colonial and postcolonial world. The aim is showing how the relational construction of colour operating in both the colonial and slavery system of the past, and in the post-colonial and post-enslavement present, consists and primarily originates in the discursive and material deprivation/diminishing of the racial¬ised subject's agency.
