In 'VeÌnus Noire', Robin Mitchell shows how these literary and visual depictions of black women helped to shape the country's postrevolutionary national identity, particularly in response to the trauma of the French defeat in the Haitian Revolution. 'VeÌnus Noire' explores the ramifications of this defeat in examining visual and literary representations of three black women who achieved fame in the years that followed. Sarah Baartmann, popularly known as the Hottentot Venus, represented distorted memories of Haiti in the French imagination, and Mitchell shows how her display, treatment, and representation embodied residual anger harbored by the French. Ourika, a young Senegalese girl brought to live in France by the MareÌchal Prince de Beauvau, inspired plays, poems, and clothing and jewelry fads, and Mitchell examines how the French appropriated black female identity through these representations while at the same time perpetuating stereotypes of the hypersexual black woman. Finally, Mitchell shows how demonization of Jeanne Duval, longtime lover of the poet Charles Baudelaire, expressed France's need to rid itself of black bodies even as images and discourses about these bodies proliferated. The stories of these women, carefully contextualized by Mitchell and put into dialogue with one another, reveal a blind spot about race in French national identity that persists in the postcolonial present."--Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Baartman, Sarah. 600 10 $a Duras, Claire de Durfort, $c duchesse de, $d 1777-1828. $t Ourika. 600 10 $a Duval, Jeanne $x In literature. 600 17 $a Baartman, Sarah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00449509 600 17 $a Duval, Jeanne. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00376185 600 17 $a Duval, Jeanne $d 1827- $2 gnd 600 17 $a Baartman, Sarah $d 1789-1815 $2 gnd 600 17 $a Baartman, Sarah. $2 nli 600 17 $a Duras, Claire de Durfort, $c duchesse de, $d 1777-1828. $2 nli 600 17 $a Duval, Jeanne $v Fiction. $2 nli 600 17 $0 (FrPBN)13756405 $a Baartman, Sarah, $d 1789-1815. $2 ram 600 17 $0 (FrPBN)13509784 $a Duval, Jeanne, $d 1827?-18.. $2 ram 600 17 $0 (FrPBN)11901348 $a Duras, Claire de, $d 1777-1828. $2 ram 650 0 $a Women, Black $z France $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Women, Black, in literature. 650 0 $a Women, Black, in popular culture $z France. 650 0 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) $z France $x History. 650 0 $a African diaspora. 650 0 $a Racism $z France $x History. 650 0 $a Sexism $z France $x History. 651 0 $a France $x History. $x History. 650 6 $a Femmes noires $z France $x Opinion publique. 650 6 $a Noires dans la litteÌrature. 650 6 $a Femmes noires dans la culture populaire $z France. 650 6 $a SteÌreÌotypes $z France $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Africains $z Pays eÌtrangers. 650 6 $a Racisme $z France $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Sexisme $z France $x Histoire. 650 7 $a African diaspora. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799755 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 650 7 $a Sexism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114686 650 7 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431521 650 7 $a Women, Black, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178939 650 7 $a Women, Black, in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01937577 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 650 7 $a KuÌnste $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur $2 gnd 650 7 $a Schwarze Frau $g Motiv $2 gnd 650 7 $a Women, Black $z France $x Public opinion. $2 nli 650 7 $a Women, Black, in literature. $2 nli 650 7 $a Women, Black, in popular culture $z France. $2 nli 650 7 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) $z France $x History. $2 nli 650 7 $a African diaspora. $2 nli 650 7 $a Racism $z France $x History. $2 nli 650 7 $a Sexism $z France $x History. $2 nli 651 7 $a France $x History. $x History. $2 nli 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11975999 $a Noires $0 (FrPBN)11989609 $x Dans l'art $0 (FrPBN)11931476 $z France $0 (FrPBN)11975999 $y 19e sieÌcle. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11975999 $a Noires $0 (FrPBN)11996647 $x Dans la litteÌrature $0 (FrPBN)11931476 $z France $0 (FrPBN)11975999 $y 19e sieÌcle. $2 ram 650 7 $0 (FrPBN)11975999 $a Noires $0 (FrPBN)16724079 $x Dans les repreÌsentations sociales $0 (FrPBN)11931476 $z France $0 (FrPBN)11975999 $y 19e sieÌcle. $2 ram 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Race in the Atlantic world, 1700-1900. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DEF434F4214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
