Description

Bettina Judd's Feelin: Creative Practice, Pleasure, and Black Feminist Thought offers a fresh perspective on creativity and artistic expression. By exploring the concept of "feelin" - a term used by African American Vernacular English to describe the internal, complex sensations that drive artistic production - Judd sheds light on the ways in which Black women artists approach knowledge as sensation. Through interviews, close readings, and archival research, Judd examines the creative processes and contributions of Black women artists, including poets, musicians, and visual artists. This multidisciplinary approach highlights the importance of incorporating diverse forms of artistic expression into critical theory and research methods. By revitalizing debates in Black studies about the concept of the human and emotion, Feelin provides a vital intervention in critical theory's trend toward disembodying feeling as knowledge.
