Research Topics in Africana and Puerto Rican/Latino Studies. This course examines the pleasure, enjoyment, and amusement represented in expressive culture from film to street culture centered around women, men, and children of African descent in the U.S. Utilizing beliefs, values, symbols, experiences, and social institutions, black popular culture is examined through aesthetic codes and traditions as well as through its significant role in digital social networking.
British cultural studies pioneer Stuart Hall in Black Popular Culture (1992) describes the “black repertoire” of which black popular culture originates as involving style, music, and the use of the body as a canvas of representation. By editing Wikipedia, students will document the historical and cultural aspects of black experience, black expressivity, and black counternarratives such as Afro-futurism. We will also confront the misogynoir and politics of masculinity and sexuality that often drive popular taste.
