Die for me. Living dead girl (Zombie, 2009). W. J. T. Mitchell points out that she is a "doubled figure of slavery, of both sexual and racial servitude," which is here made to appear "in the natural colors of power and sublimity." Burke, Mitchell claims, here confuses "sensory, aesthetic signals" with "the 'natural' orders of gender, social class, and symbolic modes." As such an incongruous mixture, it may be added, she becomes the point at which Burke's analysis breaks and is then sublime because she represents a point of contradiction, a lack of intelligibility, in Burke's aesthetic discourse itself. The black female continued to provoke speculations such as these, and not simply about her aesthetic qualities but also about the relationship between her "look," her anatomy, and her sexuality. Nineteenth-century images of the black female produced in Europe and Britain emphasized her grotesque nature as well as her (pathological) lasciviousness; the black female is represented, in both physical form and alleged desire, as a monstrous creature. As such, she becomes the site for another form of the sublime, one which draws upon the lure of her abjection, and the thrill which is not contained within the polite society of the sexes imagined by Burke. True to his wish to classify the effects of objects as beautiful or sublime, however, she also serves as a stereotype of difference, a collecting pool for all that is imagined as excessive to the ideology of Burke's aesthetic (Armstrong, 1996).
