This article examines how Audre Lorde’s poetry and essays serve as powerful tools for understanding affective politics through a lens of intersectionality. As a radical black feminist, Lorde fearlessly confronts the pervasive injustices of the 1970s and 1980s, unapologetically challenging the entrenched systems of racism, sexism and homophobia within American society and even within Civil Rights Movement itself. Lorde’s work emerges from her unique positionality as a black lesbian woman, situated within the borderlands of multiple marginalized identities. Her writings keenly illuminate the intersectional nature of oppression, recognizing the complex interplay between race, gender, sexuality, and class. In particular, Lorde’s essays “Uses of the Erotic” and “Uses of the Anger” serve as poignant illustrations of her conceptualization of the erotic and anger as vehicles for transformative social change. She posits that these embodied experiences are not merely personal or individual, but rather they possess immense political potential. By harnessing the power of the erotic and anger, Lorde contends that oppressed communities can mobilize affectively to challenge oppressive structures and catalyze revolutionary movements. Ultimately, Lorde’s oeuvre offers a radical reimagining of affective politics, providing a new language through which to articulate and navigate the depths of human experience.
Abstract
This article examines how Audre Lorde’s poetry and essays serve as powerful tools for understanding affective politics through a lens of intersectionality. As a radical black feminist, Lorde fearlessly confronts the pervasive injustices of the 1970s and 1980s, unapologetically challenging the entrenched systems of racism, sexism and homophobia within American society and even within Civil Rights Movement itself. Lorde’s work emerges from her unique positionality as a black lesbian woman, situated within the borderlands of multiple marginalized identities. Her writings keenly illuminate the intersectional nature of oppression, recognizing the complex interplay between race, gender, sexuality, and class. In particular, Lorde’s essays “Uses of the Erotic” and “Uses of the Anger” serve as poignant illustrations of her conceptualization of the erotic and anger as vehicles for transformative social change. She posits that these embodied experiences are not merely personal or individual, but rather they possess immense political potential. By harnessing the power of the erotic and anger, Lorde contends that oppressed communities can mobilize affectively to challenge oppressive structures and catalyze revolutionary movements. Ultimately, Lorde’s oeuvre offers a radical reimagining of affective politics, providing a new language through which to articulate and navigate the depths of human experience.
