dbo:abstract
  • Passing és una novel·la de l'autora estatunidenca Nella Larsen, publicada per primera vegada el 1929. Ambientada principalment al barri de Harlem de la ciutat de Nova York a la dècada del 1920, la història se centra en el retrobament de dues amigues de la infància —Clare Kendry i Irene Redfield— i la seva creixent fascinació per la vida de l'altra. El títol fa referència a la pràctica del passing racial, i és un element clau de la novel·la. L'intent de Clare Kendry de passar per blanca pel seu marit, John (Jack) Bellew, és una representació significativa de la novel·la i un catalitzador dels tràgics esdeveniments. L'exploració de la raça de Larsen es va basar en la seva pròpia herència racial mixta i la pràctica cada cop més comuna de la transmissió racial a la dècada del 1920. Elogiada després de la seva publicació, la novel·la ha estat celebrada des de l'erudició moderna per la seva complexa descripció de la raça, el gènere i la sexualitat, i el llibre és objecte de considerables crítiques acadèmiques. Com a una de les dues úniques novel·les que Larsen va escriure, la novel·la ha estat significativa a l'hora de situar la seva autora al capdavant de diversos cànons literaris. La novel·la va ser adaptada al cinema amb una pel·lícula homònima del 2021 dirigida per Rebecca Hall. (ca)

Clare Kendry's attempt to pass as white for her husband, John (Jack) Bellew, is a significant depiction in the novel and a catalyst for the tragic events. Larsen's exploration of race was informed by her own mixed racial heritage and the increasingly common practice of racial passing in the 1920s. Praised upon publication, the novel has since been celebrated in modern scholarship for its complex depiction of race, gender, and sexuality, and the book is the subject of considerable scholarly criticism. As one of only two novels that Larsen wrote, the novel has been significant in placing its author at the forefront of several literary canons. The novel was adapted as a 2021 film of the same name by Rebecca Hall. (en)

  • "Passing" is on the whole an effective and convincing attempt to portray certain aspects of a vexatious problem. The fact that it is by a girl who is partly of negro blood adds to the effectiveness ... (en)
  • Though Passing does indeed relate the tragic fate of a mulatto who passes for white, it also centers on jealousy, psychological ambiguity and intrigue. By focusing on the latter elements, Passing is transformed from an anachronistic, melodramatic novel into a skillfully executed and enduring work of art. (en)
