Representations of Man as a weak creature-"poor" and "bare" in King Lear's words-strategically portrayed English bodies as needing care from people who were imagined to be less fragile. Drawing on Aristotle's depictions of the natural master and the natural slave in the Politics, English writers distinguished the fully human political subject from the sub-human Slave who would care for his feeble body. This justification of a nascent slaving economy reinvents the violence of enslaving Afro-diasporic peoples as a natural system of care. Human Insufficiency's most important contribution to early modern critical race studies is expanding the scope of the human as a racialized category by demonstrating how depictions of Man as a vulnerable species were part of a discourse racializing slavery."-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Human body in literature. 650 0 Master and servant in literature. 650 0 Racism in literature. 650 0 Philosophical anthropology in literature. 650 0 English literature |yEarly modern, 1500-1700 |xHistory and criticism. 650 6 Corps humain dans la littérature. |0(CaQQLa)201-0058725 650 6 Racisme dans la littérature. |0(CaQQLa)000285686 650 6 Anthropologie philosophique dans la littérature. |0(CaQQLa)000277588 650 7 English literature |xEarly modern |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 Human body in literature |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01899762 650 7 Master and servant in literature |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01011558 650 7 Philosophical anthropology in literature |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01060768 650 7 Racism in literature |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01086655 648 7 1500-1700 |2fast 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iOnline version:B.
