- Title
Lemons or Lemonade? Beyoncé, Killjoy Style, and Neoliberalism.
- Authors
Salzano, Matthew
- Abstract
This article focuses on the controversy surrounding bell hooks and Lemonade to contend with the neoliberal constraints of digital, feminist, public intellectual argumentation. I argue that hooks's critique reveals her killjoy rhetorical style. Drawn from Sara Ahmed's theorization of the feminist killjoy, hooks's killjoy style provides a rhetorical interruption that reshapes the affective orientations of feminist communities. Its snappy affect opens up the potentiality for critical feminist theory amid the challenges of neoliberalism.
