George Yancy Livres

    George Yancy, professeur de philosophie, centre son travail sur la philosophie critique de la race, les études critiques sur la blancheur et la philosophie de l'expérience noire. Il explore en profondeur la formation de la pensée philosophique afro-américaine dans le contexte du racisme anti-noir, de l'agence noire et de la formation de l'identité. Ses recherches actuelles portent sur la blancheur en tant que réalité sociale ancrée et source d'opacité, théorisée comme une « embuscade blanche ». Yancy examine de manière critique comment la blancheur, en tant que phénomène incarné, est façonnée par des forces historiques et comment les individus blancs vivent leur blancheur de manière non réfléchie par rapport à la distorsion des corps noirs. Son travail explore également l'expérience vécue noire (Black Erlebnis), englobant la subjectivité, la mobilité spatiale et la résistance incarnée, tout en entremêlant philosophie et biographie pour comprendre la construction des croyances philosophiques dans des cadres historiques et culturels.

      The recent barrage of racially motivated killings, violent antagonisms, and conflagrations has left many Americans reeling in the face of a so-called post-racial reality. In thirty-four interviews--some previously unpublished and others originally conducted for The New York Times' philosophy column The Stone, but presented here unedited and with supporting materials--philosopher George Yancy critically engages some of the most influential thinkers alive today in order to highlight their most crucial insights into understanding the multifaceted dimensions of race in the United States.
