This class examines how intersectional regimes of anti-Blackness, misogynoir, settler colonialism, and heteropatriarchy are constitutive features of the global capitalist order, urging critical attention to the varied and historically contingent ways that "capitalism is racial capitalism." This seminar focuses on significant but thus far underexplored links between media cultures, both historical and contemporary, and formations of racial capitalism.
