Exceptional States:

Racial Melancholia, Revisited

Presenter: Anne Cheng, PhD

Discussant: Prakash Thomas, MD

This paper contextualizes contemporary anti-AAPI hate and violence within the long history of Asians in America in order to understand the layered dynamics of racial formation in the U.S.  It makes an argument for the importance of psychoanalytic thinking and vocabulary in addressing the complex web of desire, denial, aspiration, and denigration that supports what I call the melancholic structure of race.  And it ends with a series of propositions about how we might move forward, how we might combine theory and practice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explain the crisis of contemporary anti-Asian violence within the much longer history of anti-Asian sentiments and legal legislations in the U.S.
  2. Analyze the problems of both negative and positive stereotypes around Asian Americans.
  3. Demonstrate why psychoanalysis can be a critical tool in understanding and confronting racism and its afterlife for both white and nonwhite subjects.
