Introduction: PUSHing Boundaries, PUSHing Art
摘要:
S apphire's Literary Breakthrough: Erotic Literacies, Feminist Pedagogies, Environmental Justice Perspectives explores the writing of provocative poet, author, and performance artist Sapphire. This volume emerges from the success of " PUSH ing Boundaries, PUSH ing Art: A Symposium on the Works of Sapphire," a one-day event hosted at Arizona State University in February 2007, at which scholars from diverse backgrounds and critical and theoretical perspectives considered the richness of Sapphire's literary contributions. The symposium signaled a demand for scholarship on Sapphire, drawing scholarly attention particularly to her groundbreaking novel PUSH (1996), which has received many awards, has been translated into numerous languages, and was adapted as the Academy Award—winning film Precious (2009). Sapphire's Literary Breakthrough enlists both new and established scholarly voices to elucidate Sapphire's social justice concerns and to locate her contributions within larger African American literary traditions and cultural landscapes.
