61. Afro-Modernity: Temporality, Politics, And The African Diaspora As Gilroy has noted, Afrodiasporic consciousness grew out of the nation-state’s neglects and exclusions, since the african diaspora’s consciousness of http://www.uchicago.edu/research/jnl-pub-cult/backissues/pc27/11-Hanchard.html

Afro-Modernity: Temporality, Politics, and the African Diaspora Michael Hanchard People of African descent have often been depicted as the antithesis of Western modernity and modern subjectivity. There is an ample, if sometimes frustrating, literature written by both Western and non-Western scholars that attests, purposely or not, to this depiction. I am not interested, however, in adding to this vast heap of documentation in an effort to prove or disprove the absolute villainy of the West; nor am I preoccupied with displaying the unqualified humanity of people of African descent. This article seeks to respond to the following question: How and in what ways have African-descended peoples been modern subjects? What I shall call Afro-Modernity represents a particular understanding of modernity and modern subjectivity among people of African descent. At its broadest parameters, it consists of the selective incorporation of technologies, discourses, and institutions of the modern West within the cultural and political practices of African-derived peoples to create a form of relatively autonomous modernity distinct from its counterparts of Western Europe and North America. It is no mere mimicry of Western modernity but an innovation upon its precepts, forces, and features. Its contours have arisen from the encounters between people of African descent and Western colonialism not only on the African continent but also in the New World, Asia, and ultimately Europe itself. Marshall Berman has suggested that the world historical processes of modernism and modernization "have nourished an amazing variety of visions and ideas that aim to make men and women the subjects as well as the objects of modernization, to give them the power to change the world that is changing them, to make their way through the maelstrom and make it their own." Dialectically, Afro-Modernity can be seen as the negation of the idea of African and African-derived peoples as the antithesis of modernity. Gilroy has suggested that "the cultures of diaspora blacks can be profitably interpreted as expressions of and commentaries upon ambivalences generated by modernity and their locations in it."

AAAS 310: GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE AFRICAN DIASPORA Credits Meetings : Two 2-hr meetings Prerequisites : AAAS 101 or 201 Instructor : Dr. Daniel Avorgbedor Format : Lecture-discussion Preamble: The last ten years has seen a significant increase in diversity and intensity of efforts toward understanding the African diaspora and its impact on contemporary issues, both within and outside of academic circles. Symposia, gallery and online exhibitions, residencies, scholarly publishing, research programs funded by major corporate donors, multicultural and interdisciplinary programs of academic institutions are among these efforts. Increased interaction and migrations within diasporic communities, new infusions from the African continent, and contemporary mechanisms (formal and informal) for reconnecting with Africa all together make a strong statement on the need for innovative courses offerings on the African diaspora. These courses will serve the challenges of our time and support emerging directions in academic programs. Course Description : This course will introduce students to the African diaspora by focusing on key historical moments and current issues or patterns that have qualified the lives of people of African descent living in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.

It skillfully defines the genre and gives wonderful examples of its characteristics via a wide variety of exilic and diasporic films from all over the world. Some knowledge of the film industry is virtually a necessity to comprehend this in-depth masterpiece; moreover, readers will gain the most from this book if they have viewed a substantial amount of what would be considered "art-house" and foreign films. This is very thick reading designed for academic and theoretical purposes, not for a relaxing pleasure read, but having said that, the material is quite interesting and it is difficult to find other books on non-mainstream cinema that explore such a wide variety of films.

Diasporic Candomblé Book: Sacred Leaves of Candombl© : African Magic, Medicine, and Religion in Brazil Book: The Taste of Blood: Spirit Possession in Brazilian Candomble (Contemporary Ethnography Series) - In his book, Jim Wafer explores not only Candomble from an anthropological standpoint, but from his very personal experience in Bahia, Brazil. Wafer skillfully weaves academic arguments with an enjoyable narration, which keeps the reader invested in his account on many levels. Wafer structures his book, appropriately, on the different Candomble spirits, and so his journey in the book leads the reader not only through his experience as an outsider but the experience of the Candomble ceremony as well, first calling the exus, then the caboclos, then the orixa. Wafer also manages to hit on key issues within Candomble: gender relations, sexual orientation, "Africanness" and racialization, class, etc. My only complaint is that Wafer does not explore these aspects of life in Bahia and Candomble enough. Despite a somewhat sensational title and a final chapter that seems to be out of place in Wafer's personal account, this book is solid, and I recommend it.
