- Title
Paranoia and Fantastic Blackness.
- Authors
Davis, Jade E.
- Abstract
The article delves into the concept of "fantastic blackness" and its connection to paranoia and empathy. It argues that black individuals in the United States are often objectified and sexualized through the lens of the white gaze. The author suggests that empathy and paranoia are used as tools to control and reinforce the significance of black people as a pornocratic body. The article also examines the role of digital media in perpetuating these dynamics and the circulation of images depicting black death. The author concludes by drawing parallels between the experiences of black individuals and other marginalized groups.
