FLM&MDA (S24) | 190 BLCK WOMEN&STARDOM | PAYTON, P. |
Emphasis/Category: Locating Africas This course is designed to complicate notions of stardom, agency, and authorship as it relates to Black women performers on the stage and on the screen. Moving beyond representational politics, we will interrogate the ways Black women have utilized performance as a means of expression and survival. We will begin by viewing some of the earliest appearances of Black women in sound film to inform how we comprehend and discuss contemporary media images centering Black women. We will also explore other media texts like recorded live performances, photography, music, etc. to think about performance expansively and juxtapose these various texts across bodies, time, and mediums. Over the course of the quarter, we will conduct close-readings of different forms of audio-visual material in order to bear witness to Black women’s performative strategies over time. | ||
