Abstract
Abstract:Responding to recent work on race in early modern studies, this essay urges further scholarship more fully grounded in analysis of the emergence of racial capitalism. At the same time, it acknowledges the limits of the archive and explores the Black aesthetic thought responsive to such limits, namely Fred Moten's adjustments of Theodor Adorno. Inspired in part by the recent study Black Samson, the essay concludes by applying some of its remarks on methodology to John Milton's Samson Agonistes, which is shown to have a complex relationship to an early modern English culture of enslavement.
