Abstract:
This presentation will look at the ways in which literature and film use the
"slumming" subject to observe the political and aesthetic significance of
interpersonal and intercultural dynamics.
I use "slumming" both to move away from the sharp divisions implied in
Pratt's "contact zone" theory and to try to navigate a more nuanced
understanding of the concept of "slumming" as act, state-of-being, and
accusation. I first propose that "slumming" is not necessarily an ironic
act but can also be the mode of a quest spurred by a crisis of conscience or
a crisis of circumstance. The slumming subject is also anxious because he or
she is aware that the process of slumming is always already suspect, for the
identity formation or the agency that a slumming suspect seeks is often read
as an act of malicious appropriation.
The presentation, concentrating on Cormac McCarthy's novel Suttree, Jim
Jarmusch's film Dead Man, and Abbas Kiarostami's film The Taste of Cherry,
will look at the way the slumming subject can be used to interrogate issues
and assumptions about race, class and ethnicity. These interrogations lead
to an understanding of how the representation of slumming can be an aesthetic
act.
