We are so excited to feature Dr. Christine Capetola at our SLA town hall!
Dr. Christine Capetola works at the intersections of Q***r, Black, Sound, Affect, and Performance Studies. She is interested in how both sound and feltness complicate ocularcentric notions of representation. She holds a Ph.D. in American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and a M.A. in Performance Studies from New York University. Her book project, Sonic Femmeness: Black Sounds, Felt History, and Vibrational Identity, explores how Black pop stars, activists, and intellectuals in the 1980s and 2010s used femmeness to navigate their historical moments of protest and pandemic. Through proposing that femmeness is a sonic, affective, and vibrational configuration, the book project seeks to expand on work in Gender & Sexuality and Black Studies that describes femme identity in terms of visuality. She is published in Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture, and Society; Journal of Popular Music Studies; Routledge Companion to Cyberpunk Culture; Los Angeles Review of Books; and Bitch Media and has work forthcoming in Oxford Handbook of Electronic Dance Music. She is additionally an essayist and music writer, and she blogs about contemporary pop/r&b on her website, www.christinecapetola.com
