Description

Desiring Whiteness offers a groundbreaking Lacanian interpretation of race, challenging the assumption that race is merely a social construction by examining how subjects become racially marked through everyday visual thinking. Drawing on Lacan's theories of the subject and sexual difference, this analysis reveals how race discourse functions similarly to sexual difference in shaping racial identity as a fundamental component of human thought. Through careful examination of literary and film texts, the work explores the psychological mechanisms underlying race thinking and racial identity formation, providing readers with critical tools for understanding how race operates in contemporary culture and representation.

Key Features

Applies Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to provide new insights into how race functions as a category of human experience and identity.

Examines the parallels between race discourse and sexual difference, showing how both construct fundamental aspects of human subjectivity.

Includes close readings of literary and film texts that demonstrate how racial identity is produced and deployed in cultural representation.

Published by Routledge as part of the Opening Out series, positioning it within current feminist and theoretical scholarship on identity.

Challenges conventional social constructionist views of race by investigating the unconscious mechanisms that maintain race thinking in daily life.
