Ugliness. Why does it seem to cleave so painfully to the flesh and blood, hair and bone of black folk? We are possessed it seems by the symbols of social stigma. Or have we embodied the stories and images that have discredited us within a modernist reductive discourse? If so, what has been our agency for undoing the normative texts that have ferociously named us? This study explores a transgressive postmodern research methodology that interrogates modernity. I will make the argument that the de/re/construction of collective African-American identity from categorical ugliness toward a constitutive role in Western social discourse was also one of the early movements into a contemporary postmodern condition.

520 $a The evidence for this repositioning is a part of Western visual culture. Thus a new methodology, a visual archaeology, has been derived for the deployment of this study. The data are autoethnographic, both collected and created; the text is itself an argument for a hybridized arts-based, arts-informed process. Texts, embodied in personal memory, blend with those ensconced within America's visual culture; both memory and culture are the target sites of an epistemological paradigm shift and a poststructuralist repositioning. In spite of the dominating archaeology of Western scientific modernity, this study shows that rogue narratives of social acceptability---a matrix of anomalous and ultimately transgressive (re)configurations of identity and methodology---have been employed to mediate the stubborn texts representing African-American stigmatization, freeing us to explore the borders of a postmodern "normality."
