Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyzes Rachel Dolezal’s autobiography In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World as a means to excavate the contours of an emergent Emotive race regime—a regime from which claimants to transracial identities base their sense of belonging. I argue that this Emotive regime repurposes Aristotelian ethos as a referent for racial identity, and I then show the entailments of this change in referent with respect to theories of racial reproduction. I conclude by cautioning that existing theories of racial constructivism may provide the theoretical backdrop to those who claim transracial identities.

跨种族主体与情感体制:雷切尔·多尔扎尔、种族phronêsis与颠倒的通婚

本文分析了蕾切尔·多尔扎尔的自传《全彩:在黑白世界中找到我的位置》，以此来挖掘一个新兴的情感种族政权的轮廓——跨种族身份的主张者以此为基础建立了归属感。我认为，这种感性的体制重新利用了亚里士多德的精神，作为种族认同的参照，然后我展示了这种变化的内涵，与种族再生产理论有关。最后，我警告说，现有的种族建构主义理论可能为那些主张跨种族身份的人提供理论背景。
