Instrumental Role

In the Caribbean, the practice of getting dressed matters because it is a practice of attending to the body. Under a colonial regime, black bodies were ill-treated and selves were negated. Clothing played an instrumental role in the abuse of bodies and the stripping of a sense of wellbeing. Attire was one key way of demarcating master and slave and rendering some members of society null and void. Enslaved Africans, who were forcibly brought across the Atlantic to the New World, were considered chattel or commodities rather than people and clothes functioned in a way that reinforced that notion. Yet, dress became a strategy of subversion – of making chattel, property or ‘non-people’ look like people. The enslaved recognised that, through clothes, it was possible to look and feel free. Today that legacy remains. Clothing is seen not only as that which can make a people ‘look like people’ but also feel like people – clothing sets up a specific structure of feeling. This paper pivots on notions of looking and feeling like people while deploying Joanne Entwistle’s conceptual framework of dress as situated bodily practice. The article locates its investigation in the Caribbean, examining the philosophy and practice of Trinidadian clothing designer Robert Young. The article establishes him as a source of aesthetic therapeutic solutions in the Caribbean. It argues that his clothing designs produce a therapeutic discourse on the Black Caribbean body – a discourse, which facilitates a practice of getting dressed that gives a sense of agency, self-empowerment and psychic security even if that sense is embodied temporarily; lasting perhaps only as long as the garment is worn.

Skin Pigment

The black body-wall pigment of Holothuria forskali shows the characteristics of melanin.From histological evidence it appears that the pigment is formed in association with the amoebocytes of the coelomic fluid, which eliminate the pigment in the body wall.The amoebocytes contain a phenolase system, distinct from the cytochromecytochrome oxidase system, with the properties of tyrosinase.The relation of these findings to those of a preceding and more complete investigation into melanogenesis in Diadema is discussed.

Orthodox View

Three questions in special relativistic thermodynamics are relevant to the work reported here: (1) The transformation of heat Q . This question is not considered here, and we adopt the orthodox view ( Q = Q 0 / β ) as embodied in Pauli’s article. (2) The transformation of temperature. (3) The relativistic second law. If this is taken in the orthodox form T d S ≽ d Q , where the quantities involved refer to a relatively moving system, then the answers to (1) and (3) imply the answer T = T 0 / β to (2). In this paper we start by treating the answer to question (3) as unknown, and deal with question (2). The answer found to this question ( T = T 0 ) is shown to imply an answer to question (3) ( T d S ≽ β d Q , β ≡ (1 — v 2 / c 2 ) –½ ). The examination of question (2) is carried out in a new way by considering measurements by a thermometer fixed in the observer’s frame and in brief interaction (by black body radiation only) with a moving black body. To ensure that no energy escapes, one body is taken to move inside the other. The definition of quasi-equilibrium adopted leads to temperature transformation laws, which depend on the body shapes involved. Also we find that quasi-equilibrium is not a transitive property. It is concluded that this approach must be rejected, and at present one can conceive of satisfactory measurements by a thermometer only if it is stationary in the system studied. (It may of course be manipulated electronically by a relatively moving observer.) This implies T = T 0 . It is also shown that Doppler effect arguments do not provide a guide to general temperature transformation laws.

After the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown by police in Ferguson, Missouri in August 2014, there has been a renewed movement in the United States and across the world in support of black lives. The movement, under the guiding framework of Black Lives Matter, has resulted in a national conversation on police brutality and racism, and the violent effects these have on the black body. Using the framework of black theological thought on the body, this paper identifies the many ways that racism, as Ta-Nehisi Coates writes, “lands, with great violence, upon the body” across multiple domains and levels throughout history and across the life course. The paper closes with some initial recommendations for historically predominantly white churches to offer an anti-racist response to this violence, as informed by black theology.

I argue that the key ideas of the movement for Black lives have resonances with Frantz Fanon’s ideas particularly in Black Skin, White Masks. I first demonstrate how the mission to repudiate Black demise and affirm Black humanity captures Fanon’s critique of universal humanism. The fear of the Black body was central to the testimonies of Darren Wilson, Jeronimo Yanez, and George Zimmerman (the individuals that shot and killed Mike Brown, Philando Castile, and Trayvon Martin respectively). Fanon prioritized the role of the body in his account of racism. It is difficult to not see the relevance of Fanon’s analysis when one considers these testimonies. Lastly, I demonstrate how the chants “Black lives matter,” “Hands up, don’t shoot,” and “I can’t breathe” are acknowledgments of the significance of Black lives and serve as contemporary instances of Fanon’s sociodiagnostic approach.

The Difference

Chapter 4, “‘Africanist Presence’ and the Role of Black Bodies,” taking its title and cue from Toni Morrison’s seminal study of race in American Literature, Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination, examines O’Connor’s exploration of the essential role played by African Americans in the construction of a white consciousness. It also considers the work of womanist theologian M. Shawn Copeland on “enfleshing freedom” in which she meditates on the imaging of the black body in Western culture and its implications in the Christian Church. The chapter considers the difference between what anthropologist Mary Douglas refers to as “physical bodies” and “social bodies” and the ways in which these representations and perceptions of the body enter into O’Connor’s work (73). The chapter includes analysis of “Everything that Rises Must Converge,” “The Artificial Nigger,” and “Judgement Day” (reprise).

The Relationship

This chapter looks at the repetition and performance of antiblack violence over time and the relationship between space, time, the body, and the visual. It analyzes photographs of state violence as archives of black pain and suffering on the one hand, and historical documents that reveal hidden truths on the other. The twentieth-century images examined were published in local newspapers and can be read as part of an image world of black suffering that circulates, producing narratives of the black body in pain across time and space. It is not accidental that these photographs conjure memories of lynching photography in the United States. Spectacular images of the black body in pain reveal the performative, transnational nature of Afro-paradise at the same time that they speak to us about the nature of race and antiblackness in Brazil.

This essay reflects on intersectionality as a perspective in early modern studies, and how it can be brought into productive conversation with the question of embodiment. It argues that we can use recent work on gender and sexuality in non-Western contexts to rethink our understanding of these categories, and also their relationship to racial and colonial history. It then looks at some key writings about the black body in the medieval and early modern periods to show how their concern with the question of embodiment, or how the physical attributes of the body (such as skin colour), is connected to what lies inside (be that the soul, or religious faith, or particular moral traits, sexual desire, or fluids and secretions that ensure procreation), helps us understand the intimacy of the vocabularies of race and global contact with those of gender and sexuality.

Kinetics Of

The dynamics, kinetics of heat transfer and the intensity of thermal radiation of an absolutely black body with its own temperature T1 moving at an arbitrary speed in an equilibrium gas of photons with its own temperature T2 independent of time are considered. Formulas are obtained for the spectral-angular and total radiation intensity, as well as for other quantities in the rest frame of the body and in the frame of reference of the photon gas. It is shown that at the initial moment the radiation intensity of spherical and disk-shaped particles of the same radius depends differently on the speed of motion and the ratio of temperatures T1 and T2. Then a quasi-stationary thermal state of bodies is established with an effective temperature depending on the velocity and temperature T2, the intensity of thermal radiation does not depend on the shape, and the kinetic energy is transformed into radiation. The characteristic time for the establishment of a quasi-stationary state is many orders of magnitude shorter than the characteristic deceleration time.
