with Stefanie Schaefer and Samantha Pinto
In our first episode 2022, Lady Fiction takes a cue from Black History
Month to ask about the legacies of black woman celebrities in the US
cultural archive. Stefanie Schäfer's guest is Dr. Samantha Pinto
(UTexas), author of Infamous Bodies. Early Black Women’s Celebrity and
the Afterlives of Rights (Duke UP 2020), whose work on transantional
feminism and black women's performance inquires into our understanding
of the "popular" in popular culture. Fans of Beyoncé will find their
Queen B all over and across this episode, as we read from Morgan
Parker's 2017 poetry collection There are More Beuatiful Things than
Beyoncé.
