simultaneously function as a side show for white people who look on with delight at all the differences that surround them We may be on our way to genuine hybridity multiplicity without white hegemony and it may be where we want to get to but we aren t there yet and we won t get there until we see whiteness see its power its particularity and limitedness put it in its place and end its rule This is why studying whiteness matters It is studying whiteness qua whiteness Attention is sometimes paid to white ethnicity e g Alba 1990 but this always means an identity based on cultural origins such as British Italian or Polish or Catholic or Jewish or Polish American Irish American Catholic American and so on These however are variations on white ethnicity though some are more securely white than others and the examination of them tends to lead away from a consideration of whiteness itself John Ibson 1981 in a discussion of research on white US ethnicity concludes that being say Polish Catholic or Irish may not be as important to white Americans as some might wish But being white is This then is why it is important to come to see whiteness For those in power in the West as long as whiteness is felt to be the human condition then it alone both defines normality and fully inhabits it As I suggested in my opening paragraphs the equation of being white with being human secures a position of power White people have power and believe that they think feel and act like and for all people white people unable to see their particularity cannot take account of other people s white people create the dominant images of the world and don t quite see that they thus construct the world in their own image white people set standards of humanity by which they are bound to succeed and others bound to fail Most of this is not done deliberately and maliciously there are enormous variations of power amongst white people to do with class gender and other factors goodwill is not unheard of in white people s engagement with others White power nonetheless reproduces itself regardless of in tention power differences and goodwill and overwhelmingly because it is not seen as whiteness but as normal White people need to learn to see themselves as white to see their particularity In other words whiteness needs to be made strange NOTES 1 I use the terms race and racial in this opening

characters blackness but also feel that you just think of them as people in other words that they don t only speak for their race Jhally and Lewis argue that this is achieved by the way the family conforms to the everyday generic world of white television 1992 100 an essen tially middle class world The family is ordinary despite being black because it is upwardly mobile it can be accepted as ordinary in a way that marginalises most actual African Americans If the realities of African American experience were in cluded then the characters would not be perceived as just people 3 See for instance Bogle 1973 Hartmann and Husband 1974 Troyna 1981 MacDonald 1983 Wilson and Guti rez 1985 van Dijk 1987 Jhally and Lewis 1992 58ff Ross 1995 The research findings are generally cast the other way round in terms of non white under representation textual marginalisation and positioning as deviant or a problem Recent research in the US does suggest that African Americans but not other racially marginalised groups have become more repre sented in the media even in excess of their proportion of the population However this number still falls off if one focuses on central characters 4 The Crying Game GB 1992 seems to me to be an example of this It ex plores with fascination and generosity the hybrid and fluid nature of identity gender race national belonging sexuality Yet all of this revolves around a be mused but ultimately unchallenged straight white man it reinscribes the post tion of those at the intersection of heterosexuality maleness and whiteness as that of the one

Racism imagery representation of people along racial lines Normativity Hegemony or cultural hegemony both terms refer to the norm that which is considered the standard version of something in a given cultural context Hegemony is prevalent because it helps human beings make sense of the world Hegemonic norms examples gender male sexuality race religion christianity According to Dyer whiteness is the racial norm in the West As long as race is something only applied to non white peoples as long as white people are not racially seen and names they we function as a human norm Other people are raced we are just people p 10 Only those in the position of the norm that get to speak for the rest and for humanity The claim to power is the claim to speak for the commonality of humanity Raced people can t do that they can only speak for they race p 10 Example Hunger Game fans upset that character of Rue is black Little Mermaid Director on Racist Backlash It Feels So Small Minded A Call to White People It s important to study whiteness Name whiteness be okay talking about your own race His use of They we in writing does this It is part of the goal of ending racism We may be on our way to genuine hybridity multiplicity without white hegemony and it maybe pron t there yot and we won t get there until we see whiteness

D Whiteness The Power of Invisibility ontinuing to ignore white racial imagery As long as race is something nly applied to non white peoples as long as white people are not racially en and named they we function as a human norm Other people are ced we are just people There is no more powerful position than that of being just human he claim to power is the claim to speak for the commonality of humanity aced people can t do that they can only speak for their race But non ced people can for they do not represent the interests of a race The bint of seeing the racing of whites is to dislodge them us from the posi on of power with all the in quities oppression privileges and sufferings its train dislodging them us by undercutting the authority with which ey we speak and act in and on the world The sense of whites as non raced is most evident in the absence of ref ence to whiteness in the habitual speech and writing of white people in e West We whites will speak of say the blackness or Chineseness of ends neighbours colleagues customers or clients and it may be in the ost genuinely friendly and accepting manner but we don t mention the miteness of the white people we know An old style white comedian will ten start a joke There s this bloke walking down the street and he rets this black geezer never thinking to race the bloke as well as the ezer Synopses in listings of films on TV where wordage is tight e less squander words with things like Comedy in which a cop and his ack sidekick investigate a robbery Skinhead Johnny and his Asian lover mar set up a laundrette Feature film from a promising Native Ameri n director and so on Since all white people in the West do this all the me it would be invidious to quote actual examples and so I shall con e myself to one from my own writing In an article on lesbian and gay reotypes Dyer 1993 I discuss the fact that there can be variations on a De such as the queen or dyke In the illustrations which accompany this int I compare a fashion queen from the film Irene with a black queen m Car Wash the former white image is not raced whereas all the vari on of the latter is reduced to his race Moreover this is the only non ite image referred to in the article which does not however point out at all the other images discussed are white In this as in the other white amples in this paragraph the fashion queen is racially speaking taken being just human This assumption that white people are just people which is not far off ing that whites are people whereas other colours are something else is demic to white culture Some of the sharpest criticism of it has been med at those who would think themselves the least racist or white su emacist bell hooks for instance has noted how amazed and angry ite liberals become when attention is drawn to their whiteness when y are seen by non white people as white Often their rage erupts because they believe that all ways of looking that highlight difference subvert the liberal belief in a universal as race is something people are not racially rm Other people are of being just human monality of humanity r their race But non terests of a race The iem us from the posi ivileges and sufferings authority with which in the absence of ref ing of white people in ess or Chineseness of 3 and it may be in the we don t mention the e white comedian will Iwn the street and he e bloke as well as the vordage is tight none In which a cop and his iny and his Asian lover omising Native Ameri he West do this all the es and so I shall con le on lesbian and gay can be variations on a which accompany this te with a black queen 1 whereas all the vari this is the only non ot however point out as in the other white cially speaking taken which is not far off are something else is ticism of it has been st racist or white su amazed and angry heir whiteness when I ways of looking f in a universal Dyer The Matter of Whiteness 11 subjectivity we are all just people that they think will make racism disappear They have a deep emotional investment in the myth of sameness even as their actions reflect the primacy of whiteness as a sign informing who they are and how they think hooks 1992 167 Similarly Hazel Carby discusses the use of black texts in white class rooms under the sign of multiculturalism in a way that winds up focusing on the complexity of response in the white reader student s construc tion of self in relation to a black perceived other We should she ar gues recognise that everyone in this social order has been constructed in our political imagination as a racialised subject and thus that we should consider whiteness as well as blackness in order to make visible what is rendered invisible when viewed as the normative state of existence the white point in space from which we tend to identify difference Carby 1992 193 The invisibility of whiteness as a racial position in white which is to say dominant discourse is of a piece with its ubiquity When I said above that I wasn t merely seeking to fill a gap in the analysis of racial imagery I re produced the idea that there is no discussion of white people In fact for most of the time white people speak about nothing but white people it s just that we couch it in terms of people in general Research into books museums the press advertising films television software repeatedly shows that in Western representation whites are overwhelm ingly and disproportionately predominant have the central and elabo rated roles and above all are placed as the norm the ordinary the standard Whites are everywhere in representation Yet precisely because of this and their placing as norm they seem not to be represented to themselves as whites but as people who are variously gendered classed sexualised and abled At the level of racial representation in other words whites are not of a certain race they re just the human race We are often told that we are living now in a world of multiple identi ties of hybridity of decentredness and fragmentation The old illusory unified identities of class gender race sexuality are breaking up some one may be black and gay and middle class and female we may be bi poly or non sexual of mixed race indeterminate gender and heaven knows what class Yet we have not yet reached a situation in which white people and white cultural agendas are no longer in the ascendant The media politics education are still in the hands of white people still speak for whites while claiming and sometimes sincerely aiming to speak for humanity Against the flowering of a myriad postmodern voices we must also see the countervailing tendency towards a homogenisation of world culture in the continued dominance of US news dissemination popular TV programmes and Hollywood movies Postmodern multiculturalism may have genuinely opened up a space for the voices of the other chal lenging the authority of the white West cf Owens 1983 but it may also

Racial imagery is central to the organisation of the modern world At what cost regions and countries export their goods whose voices are lis tened to at international gatherings who bombs and who is bombed who gets what jobs housing access to health care and education what cultural activities are subsidised and sold in what terms they are validated these are all largely inextricable from racial imagery The myriad minute deci sions that constitute the practices of the world are at every point informed by judgments about people s capacities and worth judgements based on what they look like where they come from how they speak even what they eat that is racial judgements Race is not the only factor governing these things and people of goodwill everywhere struggle to overcome the prejudices and barriers of race but it is never not a factor never not in play And since race in itself insofar as it is anything in itself refers to some intrinsically insignificant geographical physical differences between people it is the imagery of race that is in play There has been an enormous amount of analysis of racial imagery in the past decades ranging from studies of images of say blacks or Ameri can Indians in the media to the deconstruction of the fetish of the racial Other in the texts of colonialism and post colonialism Yet until recently a notable absence from such work has been the study of images of white people Indeed to say that one is interested in race has come to men that one is interested in any racial imagery other than that of white people Yet race is not only attributable to people who are not white nor is imagery of mon white people the only racial imagery This essay is about the racial imagery of white people not the images of other races in white cultural production but the latter s imagery of white people themselves This is not done merely to fill a gap in the ana tic literature but because there is something at stake in looking at or 9

Because the Lord knows his own as he said My sheep hear my voice and I know them and I call them by name and they follow me and I will give them eternal life He also did this to our family when he raised up this teacher wholenlightened the nation ours stunned by weakness or rather by the devil s trick on the mind did not want to walk in the light of God s commandments His life even if only briefly told shows what he was like so that those who hear him if they want to become like him accept wisdom and reject laziness as the apostle said Be like me as I am like Christ In the city of Sol ne there was a certain man born and rich named Leo He was pious and kept all the commandments of God truthfully like Job once was During the time he lived with his wife he fathered seven children The youngest of them the seventh was Konstantin Philosopher our educator and teacher When the mother gave birth to him she put him to the breast for weaning but the child did not want to latch on to anyone else s breast only the mother s until it was weaned It happened by God s providence that a good branch from a good root was weaned with undefiled milk Then the good parents agreed not to associate to please each other but so they lived in the Lord as brother and sister for fourteen years until death did them part When the child was seven years old he had a dream When told him to his father and mother said Strategist he assembled all the maidens of our city and said to me Choose from among them whom you want as a wife and a helper equal to yourself I when I examined and inspected them all saw one of the most beautiful of all with a radiant face very adorned with gold chains and pearls and all beauty Her name was Sofia that is Wisdom When they put him to study he excelled in learning nad by all the students with a very sharp memory that everyone was surprised One day as is the custom of the rich to amuse themselves by hunting you went out with them into the field and he took his son And as soon as he let go of it the wind rose by God s direction took it from him and carried it away The boy was therefore sad and angry and did not eat for two days Because the gracious God in his love for man did not want him to get used to worldly things Contemplating the futility of this life he envied him and said Is this life such that instead of joy comes sorrow From this day I will go another way And being instructed by this he sat in his house and studied by heart the books of Gregor the Theologian And again the bishops and all the people gathered to see him off with honors and spoke Let s open the coffin and see nobody took anything from him Even with great effort they could not unnail the coffin by God s guidance And so they put him with the coffin in the grave on the right side of the altar in the Church of St Clement where many miracles began to happen And when the Romans seeing this they clung still more to his sanctity and dignity and painted a picture over his tomb and kindled a light over it day and night praising God who so he glorifies those who glorify him probably Kliment transl E Paulina Life Method After all this God is merciful who wants everyone man achieved salvation and came to the knowledge of the truth in our time for our nation which no one ever cared about he awakened our teacher blessed Methodius to a good work and when we compare all his virtues and endeavors one by one with those godly men we shall not be ashamed For he equaled one was somewhat smaller than the others and surpassed some he surpassed the eloquent in zeal and the zealous in eloquence Because he became similar to all he showed the image of all in himself fear of God observance of the commandments bodily cleanliness unceasing prayers and holiness speaking strong and sweet And he came from a family of both parents who were not poor but very good and honest known above all to God and the emperor and the whole region of Thessaloniki and he also excelled in physical appearance That is why even his opponents the Greeks loved him from childhood spoke respectfully of him until the emperor knowing his intelligence gave him the administration of the principality of Slovenia and so to speak as if he had foreseen that he would send him to Slovenia as a teacher and the first archbishop to learn all Slovak customs and slowly got used to them He also had a prophetic grace because many of his predictions came true one or two of which we will tell The pagan prince very powerful resided on the Vistula blasphemed the Christians and troubled them But he sent to him and said It will be good for you son to be baptized of your own free will in your own country so that you a captive will not be baptized by force in a foreign country and you will remember me which happened When his disciples took care of him they paid him dignified honors performed the church service in Latin Greek and Slovene and laid him in the main temple And he was assigned to his fathers and patriarchs and prophets apostles teachers martyrs But the people an innumerable nation that came down accompanied him with candles mourned the good teacher and shepherd mourned men and women the poor and the great the rich and the poor the free and the serf the widow and the orphan the foreigner and the native the sick and the healthy all for he was all things to all that he might win all about Gorazd transl E Paulina
