While the film's Madame Butterfly–inspired narrative and usage of Orientalist mise-en-scène would appear to imply that color is used to allegorize racial evidence, this article proposes instead that the film's color is aligned with the autoerotic, uncoupled position of Wong's character Lotus Flower. This article seeks to establish a historiography of this racialized loneliness that persists not only within the film but also across contemporaneous immigration law and the problematics of white/Asian miscegenation that informed Wong's career. In elaborating sexual consummation as a racialized structure, the article presents a means of aligning—although not necessarily reconciling—Asian American critiques of sexual teleology with accounts of anti-Asian legislation and formal analyses of early Technicolor ornamentation.","PeriodicalId":46410,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Critique","volume":"71 1","pages":"115 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75659555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contributes to the material and posthuman turn in humanity studies. Focusing on Ledoux's design of the salt factory Saline de Chaux, Schinkel's panoramic facilities, the ancient Roman theater described by Vitruvius, and Boullée's Cenotaph of Newton, this essay takes these architectures as optical apparatuses with a clear awareness of the light path setting and power regimes. Challenging the divisions between surveillance and spectatorship, the amphitheater and the panoptic machine, this essay argues for a subject-object position that merges these regimes in the act of seeing within the operation of communities. In showcasing how architecture, as established codes of articulation, visualizes the grids within which actions and interpretations are situated, this essay suggests a detailed historical reading that complicates the architectural space as heterotopias—the sites of struggle between reality and virtuality that open to the future.","PeriodicalId":46410,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Critique","volume":"6 1","pages":"1 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88557420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is essentially to understand, to stand under what hides itself in the field of vision. However, to the extent that understanding implies nonknowing, seeing brings with it an unseeing that haunts the horizon of the visible. This essay addresses the idea of the invisible by looking at four images—a simple line drawing, two photographs, and a painting—and unpacks them according to their modes of presentation and varying degrees of verisimilitude. This is to show how unseeing makes possible the insight that the image is but also the absence that the act of vision necessarily incurs. The essay's objective is to elucidate what \"seeing something\" actually means, especially when the images one faces are often twice removed from the objects they represent, as is increasingly the case in today's digitalized or mediated world.","PeriodicalId":46410,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Critique","volume":"34 1","pages":"23 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88988411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To make this argument, the article examines Nam June Paik's Robot K-456 (1964)—an electronic sculpture that both performed and refusedto perform experimental music—in light of cybernetic robots since the Second World War. In addition to these robots, Paik's work also relates to their precedents in eighteenth-century musical automata, which, as incipient posthumans, had challenged the boundary between humans and machines. Drawing theories of the posthuman together with the critique of political economy, the article concludes that Paik's robot ultimately affirms that the capacity for self-negation is uniquely human by failing at its own self-destruction.","PeriodicalId":46410,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Critique","volume":"164 1","pages":"56 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72810941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary literary work under consideration is the 2001 novel The Kappa Child by Japanese Canadian author Hiromi Goto. Informed by the critical lens of new materialism, this essay reads The Kappa Child through and as a feminist and queer reckoning with Darwinian evolutionary theory that provides an asynchronous model of development, which ultimately figures Asian racialized settlerhood as an uneven (dis)identification with the circuits of citizenship.","PeriodicalId":46410,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Critique","volume":"77 1","pages":"114 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74435114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much has been made of this renewed interest in life itself. On some accounts, it marks a veritable break with those problematics of language and discursivity that, as the story goes, preoccupied cultural criticism throughout the twentieth century. For others it is the violent strictures of modern humanism that might finally be dislodged by this resurgence, which promises to release life from the grasp of all anthropologisms both dominant and residual. Approached in terms of the trope of the “itself,” however, the current fascination with life may appear as less a rupture than as the reprise of a metaphysics of the proper that has long accompanied the concept and the question of life.1 From this angle, what Sylvia Wynter (2006, 117) has consistently diagnosed as the “biocentric descriptive statement” governing our modernity would now also seem a particularly apt description for some of the most prominent critical protocols that govern the theoretical humanities as well. Given that this ubiquitous collocation “life itself” now routinely appears under the auspices of the discourse of biopolitics, it is perhaps","PeriodicalId":46410,"journal":{"name":"Cultural Critique","volume":"11 1","pages":"156 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79100090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It further defines this political semiotic by examining and extending claims from Tel Quel associates Jean-Joseph Goux and Pierre Guyotat.
