| dc.description.abstract | The images, descriptions, and categories through which we approach humanity’s many facets can both enable and limit how we come to understandings of the human. Engaging a critique of representation, this article investigates how we might create ways of disclosing the human that rejects the reduction, classification, and subjectification of people. By weaving together the philosophies of Glissant and Lugones, I bring the concept of opacity in conversation with intersectionality to unfold a strategic path toward new encounters and images. As a contrast with dehumanizing and transparent practices, I argue that opacity offers an aesthetic resistance that refutes representation’s violent demands and points to the excesses that modernity cannot account for. | |
