Abstract
The exploration into the epistemological function of symbols, their validity, and how they contribute to identity formation is imperative because of their rhetorical properties in the conceptualization and communication of black identity. In order to conduct such an effort, I draw from the term symbolic material to explore the formation of black identity and the representation of that identity, encrypted within the film Bamboozled’s character Pierre Delacroix. What emerges from this meditation is a fresh perspective from which to understand the evolution process of identity formation. Symbolic material, specifically, highlights the subtle psychological and rhetorical fabric interwoven into identity formation and composition. To finish, I introduce questions that future researchers might address.
