RabachK VtP Annotation: DemonicGrounds

Here’s a list of terms and themes I think McKittrick works with throughout the book:Transparent space vs. opaque space (contesting space as just “is”)Three-dimensionality of spaceMateriality and its scalesRacial-sexual displacementDiaspora across space and timeUngeographic bodies and geographic domination How does difference become naturalized? Showing, making visible that process The demonic … demonic groundsDeep space (Smith)Poetics of landscape (Glissant)The color-line (DeBois)New ethnicities, the essential black subjectivity (Hall)Site of memory (Morrison)Black absented presenceRe-placing  In order to really work with and address these concepts and themes, McKittrick weaves together several different genres and analytics. She theorizes slave auction blocks, maps of old plantations, the space of Harriet Jacobs attic, and engages with Sylvia Winter’s work.
