Modern Minstrelsy: The Art of DisplacementAbstract
This project is a research essay on the ways that minstrelsy still exists in modern media culture, particularily exploring three movies from the late 90's and early 2000's: Shrek (2001), The Phantom Menace (1999), and The Fifth Element (1997). This essay explores how minstrel forms evolved over time and how displacment and distancing allow them to exist in modern media without being recognized and criticized.Collections
