The Signifying Body reads the work of Luce Irigaray and Frantz Fanon against Heidegger's theory of ontological becoming, arguing that each in their respective critiques of phallogocentrism and colonialism develops an ontology which not only allows for but presumes an ethical relation with an Other.The Signifying Body suggests that by attending to the materiality of sexual and racial difference, we can imagine ontologies that account for the lived experience of subjects that have traditionally served as the ground/object/thing for the white male humanist subject.

In Imperiled Whiteness: How Hollywood and Media Make Race in "Postracial" America, author Penelope Ingram argues that in the Obama-to-Trump era, a variety of media platforms, including film, television, news, and social media, turned white identity into a commodity that was packaged and disseminated to a white populace. The book emphasizes how media in its myriad forms coopted a postracial narrative, making whiteness a disenfranchised commodity and vivifying white nationalist and neo-Nazi movements on the alt-right. While fully recognizing the covert centrality of whiteness to postracial discourses, Ingram challenges existing scholarship to argue that discourses of the postracial era have enabled the rise of an overt white identity politics, a sense of solidarity among white people, including those who espouse liberal or progressive political views. Ingram explores the convergence of entertainment, news, and social media in a digital networked environment and traces how media's renewed attention to "mainstream whiteness" has propelled a resurgence of rabid white nationalism. Reading popular film and television franchises (The Walking Dead, The Planet of the Apes reboot, and the Star Trek reboot) through the contemporary political flashpoints of immigration reform, gun control, and Black Lives Matter protests, Ingram demonstrates how media buttressed and exploited an affective experience among white audiences-a feeling or sense of vulnerability and loss. Ingram also explores how contemporary Black filmmakers utilize speculative fiction to intercede in and disrupt this shifting racial landscape, through an examination of Jordan Peele's films Get Out and Us, and Ryan Coogler's Black Panther.

Imperiled Whiteness examines the role played by media in the resurgence of white nationalism and neo-Nazi movements in the Obama to Trump era. As politicians on the right stoked anxieties about whites "losing ground" and "being left behind," media platforms turned whiteness into a commodity that was packaged and disseminated to a white populace. Reading popular film and television franchises (Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, and The Walking Dead)through political flashpoints, such as debates over immigration reform, gun control, and Black Lives Matter protests, Ingram reveals how media produced and disseminated feelings of white vulnerability and loss among white consumers. By exploring the convergence of entertainment, news, and social media in a digital networked environment, Ingram demonstrates how media's renewed attention to "imperiled whiteness" enabled and sanctioned the return of overt white supremacy exhibited by alt-right groups in the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville and the January 6th insurrection.
