| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Racialised interactions inform the corporeal memory of both racists and their victims. This translates in bodily styles which reproduce alienated intercorporeal exchanges. The racial abjection of the victims is embedded at the somatic level in a racialised corporeal schema which obtains even when victims are not a priori visibly different to an external observer. The damaging intercorporeal dynamics of racialised abjection resist critical deconstruction. This explains the unwitting reproduction of racism even by those who consciously repudiate it and the difficulties of explaining to non-victims the enduring - and damaging- effects of those crucial moments when 'the glance of the other brings about a break in embodiment'. |
