Fighting and dancing games both emerge from Asia, and they both foreground the body. They strip down bodily movement into elemental actions like stepping, kicking, leaping, and tapping, and make these the form and content of the game. I argue that fighting and dancing games point to a key dynamic in videogame play: the programming of the body into the algorithmic logic of the game, a logic that increasingly organizes the informatic structure of everyday work and leisure in a globally interconnected information economy.

  • Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South
    Antoni Górny Appalling! Terrifying! Wonderful! Blaxploitation and the Cinematic Image of the South Abstract: The so-called blaxploitation genre – a brand of 1970s film-making designed to engage young Black urban viewers – has become synonymous with channeling the political energy of Black Power into larger-than-life Black characters beating “the [White] Man” in real-life urban settings. In spite of their urban focus, however, blaxploitation films repeatedly referenced an idea of the South whose origins lie in antebellum abolitionist propaganda. Developed across the history of American film, this idea became entangled in the post-war era with the Civil Rights struggle by way of the “race problem” film, which identified the South as “racist country,” the privileged site of “racial” injustice as social pathology.1 Recently revived in the widely acclaimed works of Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained) and Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), the two modes of depicting the South put forth in blaxploitation and the “race problem” film continue to hold sway to this day. Yet, while the latter remains indelibly linked, even in this revised perspective, to the abolitionist vision of emancipation as the result of a struggle between idealized, plaintive Blacks and pathological, racist Whites, blaxploitation’s troping of the South as the fulfillment of grotesque White “racial” fantasies offers a more powerful and transformative means of addressing America’s “race problem.” Keywords: blaxploitation, American film, race and racism, slavery, abolitionism The year 2013 was a momentous one for “racial” imagery in Hollywood films. Around the turn of the year, Quentin Tarantino released Django Unchained, a sardonic action- film fantasy about an African slave winning back freedom – and his wife – from the hands of White slave-owners in the antebellum Deep South.

Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2006. 374-391. Hollywood, soon to become the United States’ national film industry, was founded in the early teens by a group of film companies which came to Los Angeles at first to escape the winter conditions of their New York- and Chicago-based production locations. However, the advantages of production in southern California—particularly the varied landscapes in the region crucial for exterior, on-location photography—soon made Hollywood the dominant film production center in the country.i Hollywood, of course, is not synonymous with filmmaking in the United States. Before the early 1910s, American filmmaking was mostly New York-based, and specialized in the production of short films (circa 1909, a one-reel short, or approximately 10 minutes). At the time, French film companies dominated global film distribution, and it was more likely that one would see a French film in the United States than an American-produced one.

  • Blaxploitation Cinema
    Blaxploitation Cinema The blaxploitation film genre emerged in the early 1970s, when Hollywood studios began releasing movies that depicted a particularly gritty version of black urban life. These films featured almost entirely black casts and were often set in crime-ridden inner-city ghettos. Although the genre emerged on the heels of the Civil Rights movement, blaxploitation films were rarely moral parables or political manifestos: instead, protagonists in these films included private detectives (Shaft, 1971), drug dealers (Superfly, 1972), and violent, tough-talking women in pursuit of revenge (Coffy, 1973; Foxy Brown, 1974). Musically, many of these films featured Funk soundtracks by prominent black musicians, including Isaac Hayes (Shaft), James Brown (Black Caesar, 1973), and Curtis Mayfield (Superfly). The films offered audiences entertainment and thrills as they played out fantasies of empowerment and justice in a world that existed outside of white society’s laws. The box office success of movies like Shaft and Superfly was definitive in the fight for more black artists in the film industry. While the name of the genre is rooted in the word “exploitation,” in many ways the opposite was true. Blaxploitation signaled the rise of a new Black Cinema that employed comparatively higher numbers of black performers, directors, music composers, and other professionals than had ever worked in the industry. From the early days of Hollywood, studios had been relatively closed off to African Americans. Black characters, when they appeared, were generally written as racist stereotypes, especially before the Civil Rights movement. Two prominent examples include Hattie McDaniel’s Oscar-winning portrayal of “Mammy,” the maid in Gone With the Wind (1939), and James Baskett as “Uncle Remus,” the back porch narrator and singer of “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” in Disney’s Song of the South (1946) -- a role that earned him an honorary Oscar.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION WE INSIST !e Idea of Black Film I am giving a reading at a bookstore in Spokane, Washington. !ere is a large crowd. I read a story about an Indian father who leaves his family for good. He moves to a city a thousand miles away. !en he dies. It is a sad story. When I "nish, a woman in the front row breaks into tears. “What’s wrong?” I ask her. “I’m so sorry about your father,” she says. “!ank you,” I say, “But that’s my father sitting right next to you.” —SHERMAN ALEXIE, “THE UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ME” In the epigraph, Sherman Alexie dryly arrests an audience member’s expecta- tion and perception that his story be unscripted, a direct re$ection of reality in the barest of autobiographical terms. His narrative of this encounter with this white woman exempli"es the collapsing of the distance between two "c- tions, one writerly and the other a sociocultural marker of being. Indian and “Indian” are con$ated, and the performative becomes reduced to unmediated, existential accounting. In the absence of a consideration of verisimilitude, or just literary form and style more generally, the woman’s empathetic response to Alexie’s reading illustrates an inability to distinguish the author function from embodied being. !is epigraph evinces my concern for and investment in the idea of black "lm. In a comparable sense, the woman’s query and ex- pectation correspond to the way that black "lm, and black art more broadly, navigates the idea of race as constitutive, cultural "ction, yet this art is never- theless o%en determined exclusively by the social category of race or veracity claims about black existential life in very debilitating ways.

Through an analysis oftwenty blaxploitationfilms, this paper examines how gendered and sexualized discourses are used to shape Black identity. Discussed are the two typologies ofqueer images found within these films, the jester and the scoundrel, and how these images are used to frame Black identities. Consequently, we argue that queer images in blaxploitation films contribute to how racialized knowledge is produced. Introduction power these images have over us.
