요약This dissertation examines opacity and the strange meaning of being Black as illustrated by twentieth-century Black American writers W.E.B. Du Bois, Richard Wright, and Ralph Ellison. In it I argue that opacity names one method for thinking, seeing, and reading the live edges of being human that takes notice of the strange and sometimes illegible aspects of living. While opacity has the potential to illuminate aspects of being human in a variety of social and historical contexts, my focus is how this concept reveals complex theorizations of being Black in the first half of the twentieth century. In the introduction, I outline how opacity combats the problem of transparency by weaving together the work of Martinican philosopher Edouard Glissant and historian of religion Charles Long. The three main chapters of this project are as follows. Chapter one analyzes a series of vibrantly unique charts created by W.E.B. Du Bois for the 1900 World's Exposition in Paris. Chapter two reads Richard Wright's novel Native Son, originally published in 1940, with attention to a conspicuously overlooked character: a large white cat. Chapter three interprets the protagonist of Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man (1952) in relation to four very strange encounters with white women. Each of these three examples highlight how opacity (as a mode of analysis and of experience) combats the violent effects of valuing transparency as a universal description of being and knowledge. In its most broad sense, this dissertation invites reflection on the boundaries of what is and is not recognized as human and as religion.
