Which Bodies Matter?

Abstract: Drugie życie Saartjie Baartman Śmierć-początek życia W końcu grudnia 1815 roku w Paryżu zmarła La Venus Hottentote-Sarah (to imię zapisano w księgach parafialnych w Manchesterze w dniu, w którym ją ochrzczono), naprawdę Saartjie Baartman, która ponad pięć lat wcześniej przybyła do Europy z Przylądka Dobrej Nadziei.

“…For health-care providers to better understand this phenomenon experienced by a large subset of their patients with FGC, Black African women, they must consider the historical traumas of slavery, the exploitation of Sarah Baartman across 19th century Europe as the "Hottentot Venus," and other racialized stereotypes of Black women's bodies (Koukoui, 2019;Magubane, 2001;West, 1995). Such stereotypes appeared as recently as 2012 when a YouTube video,, 1 , 234 from Swedish World Art Day went viral, depicting a performance artist whose head was transformed into a 19th century minstrel blackface caricature and emblazoned on a bare-chested cake of a Black woman's torso.…”

“…22 For a detailed discussion of the various conceptions of race, see Zine Magubane's Which Bodies Matter? : Feminism, Post Structuralism, Race, and the Curious Theoretical Odyssey of the "Hottentot Venus" (Magubane 2001). quotidian objects, such as ashtrays, nutcrackers, swizzle sticks, fishing hooks, bottle openers, souvenirs, that reproduce these racist and gendered representation of Black women as "one-dimensional sexual beings" (Pilgrim 2012). 23 This fixation with Black women's posteriors became an insignia of their aberrant hyper-sexuality.…”

“…19 It is the abstraction of Baartman from her political and historical context, she suggests, and the privileging of 'psychological dispositions over social relations' that lead to the erasure of complexity and nuance.

“…Magubane notes: 'the ways in which (Baartman) has been constructed as a theoretical object highlight the inherent dangers in the deployment of any theory without due attention to historical specificity'. 19 It is the abstraction of Baartman from her political and historical context, she suggests, and the privileging of 'psychological dispositions over social relations' that lead to the erasure of complexity and nuance.
