THE FUTURE OF WHITENESS
The Honi Haber Memorial Lecture by Linda Alcoff Sponsored by the CU Denver Philosophy Department

Wednesday, April 3, 2013
4 – 5:45 PM
Terrace Room, Lawrence Street Center, CU Denver
1380 Lawrence Street

This talk is an opportunity to think aloud about the present day character and experience of whiteness as a lived, embodied identity in the context of the contemporary United States. The lived experience of whiteness must be understood in its relation to whiteness as an imaginary, or collective unconscious, that affects, and infects, the subject-formation of those designated as white people, as well as of those who are aspiring to be white. I believe we can find traces of this white imaginary in both academic sources as well as street level discourse, and in expressive cultural forms both high and low. And what we’ll see is that whiteness today is, without doubt, as Nell Painter has suggested, “not what it used to be.” In fact, whiteness today is in the midst of turmoil, as the census reports give the year 2050 as the D-Day when whites will drop below 50% nationwide. Whites will remain the largest plurality even then, one should point out, but apparently, given the clear signs of hysteria we are all witnessing across the country, a plurality is not enough to make up for the dreaded loss of majority. The turmoil of white identity, therefore, has a kind of objective basis, unlike previous eras in our history. My question is, how is white subjectivity responding? And how can we radical race theorists take advantage of this moment of turmoil and objective crisis to contribute to a subjective transformation of whiteness in the most productive, and realistic, way? I will argue against both racial eliminativism, which would hope that whiteness fades away, and I will also argue against the essentialist view that whiteness is irrevocably tied to racism. Although we know that racism has been central to the past of whiteness; the question is what will be its future?

Professor Linda Martín Alcoff is President of the American Philosophical Association, Eastern Division, and teaches philosophy at the City University of New York, both at Hunter College and the Graduate Center. She received her Ph.D. from Brown University in 1987, and has written and edited  several books, including Visible Identities: Race, Gender and the Self (Oxford University Press, 2006).
