| The paper first presents a few key definitions of "white", "white culture", "white supremacy" in Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS). The following introduction into CWS approaches in different scholarly disciplines comprises an overview of CWS in literary criticism, art history, colonial history and Postcolonial Studies, focusing on "master texts" such as Manet's painting "Olympia" (1863), "master artifacts" like the transparent soap in 19th century commodity racism, or Frantz Fanon's "master quote" "Look, a negro! I'm scared!" Eventually, the paper analyses Joyce Ladner's anthology "The Death of White Sociology" (1973) as an ambiguous precursor to feminist dealings with hegemonic Whiteness and the respective conflicts within 2nd wave feminism. The subsequent discussion of "color conscious" feminist approaches traces the raise of postcolonial and "third world" voices within the 2nd (and 3rd) wave - concepts like "womanism" or "mestiza consciousness" herein figuring prominendy —, and simultaneously problematizes die feminist historiographic master narrative(s) about the origin and the course of white/non-white negotiations. At this point, the paper brings in some moments of "whitening" in German and Austrian feminist fantasmatic productions, and eventually poses questions about the repeated white/non-white conflicts in feminist practice and theory, ongoing despite the obvious "boom" in CWS and Diversity Studies. | |
