SUMMARY:What Anthropology Cannot Hold: Black Feminist Thought and the Writi
 ng of Black Life
DESCRIPTION:AbstractWhat happens when the life one is trying to write excee
 ds the epistemological and narrative  forms anthropology makes available 
 for apprehending it? Drawing from an ongoing book project  about the life
  and death of my childhood friend Margaret “Missy” Allen\, this talk c
 onsiders the  limits of anthropology for writing Black life beyond the fo
 rms of violence\, injury\, and  spectacular death through which Black sub
 jects so often become ethnographically legible. I turn  to Black feminist
  thought not simply as a critique or supplement to anthropology\, but as a
  more  capacious intellectual\, ethical\, and methodological practice—o
 ne capable of locating theory in  the ordinary\, the intimate\, the embod
 ied\, and the unfinished. In doing so\, I ask what becomes  possible when
  ethnographic writing is oriented not primarily toward explaining Black de
 ath\, but  toward apprehending the density\, thought\, relation\, and ali
 veness of Black life. BioAimee Meredith Cox is an Associate Professor of 
 Anthropology at the New York University. She is a critical ethnographer\, 
 writer\, and movement artist. Cox has performed and toured internationally
  with Ailey II and the Dance Theatre of Harlem and has choreographed perfo
 rmances as interventions in public and private space in Newark\, Philadelp
