Ornamentalism
Cheng, Anne Anlin (Professor of English and Director of American Studies, Professor of English and Director of American Studies, Princeton University)
Ornamentalism offers one of the first sustained and original theories of Asiatic femininity. Examining ornamentality, in lieu of Orientalism, as a way to understand the representation, circulation, and ontology of Asiatic femininity, this study extends our vocabulary about the woman of color beyond the usual platitudes about objectification.
