Subject: [Wolpe-cape] Invitation to the 92nd Open Dialogue
To: wolpe-cape@mail.unwembi.co.za
The Harold Wolpe Memorial Trust takes pleasure in
announcing its 92nd Open Dialogue.
The aim of these dialogues is to create a space for open and
informed dialogue and debate around key local and global political,
social and economic issues facing South Africa.
Everyone is welcome and entrance is free. Please feel free to
circulate this notice.
There is a racial paradox in our public (and private) renditions of
'the black domestic worker'. 'Eve' is white South Africa's favorite
mischievous 'maid;' the 'black madam' tantalizes both the black and
white imagination, and all while the democratic state mobilizes 'the
maid' as part of its statecraft for and of 'the vulnerable.' How is
this accomplished? How does the figure of 'the maid' come to embody
racial anxieties and fantasies? How do domestics labor in service, not
only of homes and families, but nothing less than the social order(s)
of our times?
IN SERVICE OF RACIAL DYSTOPIA: ANXIETY AND FANTASY IN THE FIGURE OF "THE MAID"
