INCORPORATIONS: Race, Nation, and the Body Politics of Capital Eva Cherniavsky University of Minnesota Press | 224 pages | 2006 ISBN 0-8166-4604-X | hardcover | $58.50 ISBN 0-8166-4605-8 | paperback | $19.50 Incorporations offers a new way of thinking about issues of race, bodies, and commodity culture. Testing the links between race and capital, Incorporations examines how media culture transmutes white bodies into commodity‹images in such films as Blonde Venus, A Touch of Evil, and Fargo, in the television series The Simpsons, and in the fiction of Octavia Butler and Leslie Marmon Silko. Moving beyond the study of identity and difference in media, Eva Cherniavsky asserts that race can be understood as a sign of the body's relation to capital. Cherniavsky demonstrates how representations of racial embodiment have evolved, and suggests that ³race² is the condition of exchangeable bodies under capital. ³A first-rate study that advances discussions of race in materialist and theoretically subtle directions.² ‹Eric Lott For more information, including the table of contents, visit the book¹s webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/C/cherniavsky_incorporations.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
