BELL HOOKS Cultural Criticism and Transformation

Main Ideas (criticisms)  Link: There is a link between representation and society—not that one causes the other, but that they are related. What do you think?  Motivated Representation: White men have power re. what gets represented and since movies are a conscious manipulation, the “motivated representation” that results stereotypes black people  Backlash against feminism? Representations of misogyny? Women’s “allegiance to sexism?” Stardom has to be reinstated again and again, and people like Madonna have to find ways to do that. (Reinvestment in patriarchy?)  Morality is not black or white but green? Rap is one of the only ways black people can make same money as white people? (Same with women and prostitution/pornography?) Light-skin/dark-skin economy?  The term “White Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy” acknowledges “interlocking systems of domination.” The idea that we live in an entire economy that perpetuates domination?  The term “racism” keeps white people in the middle of the discussion instead of exposing an entire system.

Transformation  Being “enlightened witnesses”? (not censoring but being vigilent?  “deconolonizing our minds”? (get unfamiliar)  Literacy  Mainstream movies are important for teaching— why?
