Course Information
Description
Black Sonic Avant-Gardes: In this seminar we will bear witness to, study, and write about scenes of insurgent Black sonic world-building: disruptive practices that posit new ways of becoming musical, new genres of being human, otherwise possibilities for Black life and Black subjectivities, and radical futurities for the “philosophy of the human being.” The goal is to cultivate new theory and language to do justice to this speculative stance in Black music-making.
