Quotes by Anne Anlin Cheng (?)

“the ancient Greek word for adornment, kosmos, means both “decoration” and “world order.” (This is, of course, why the words cosmetics and cosmology share an etymological root.)”
― Anne Anlin Cheng, Ornamentalism

“the very premise of this project takes seriously, rather than simply decries, the intractable imbrication among femininity, the ornamental, and the Oriental, in order to explore the entanglement of living and living-as-thing.”
― Anne Anlin Cheng, Ornamentalism

“What happens when we accept that style, mediated through yet detached from a racial referent, may not be simply the excess or the opposite of ontology but may in fact be a precondition for embodiment, an insight that challenges the very foundation of the category of the human? What is at stake here is not just the objectification of people but also how that objectification opens up a constitutive estrangement within the articulation of proper personhood.”
― Anne Anlin Cheng, Ornamentalism
