This dissertation examines artistic responses to the prevailing racial discourse of the early 21st century United States, i.e. post-racialism. Each chapter explores the work of artists in various media---film, portraiture, television, and music---with an emphasis on the ways that their practices of ironic substitution and recontextualization---e.g. parody, pastiche, satire---work to simultaneously revise previous aesthetic works and modes and to engage with a hegemonic US post-racial narrative that has at its core the maintenance of white supremacy and the suppression of race as an avenue through which to formulate grievance against oppressive state and institutional structures. This project is in dialogue not only with contemporary critical race theory but also negative valuations of irony's political efficacy inherited from the late-20th century academic discourse of postmodernism. Reading the work of artists across various media and engaging with discourses of race, masculinity, fashion, and ontological dualism, I argue for the progressive potential of irony and humor, and look critically at the de facto privileging of sincerity in contemporary socio-political discourse.
