nbsp; Increasingly, African American Studies has become an interdisciplinary field that focuses on race as a social construction. Our department has led the field with its emphasis on the African Diaspora and the cultures, patterns of social organization, political economies, life conditions, etc. of various African-based societies and communities in the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States, Europe, and other areas of the world. In addition to the development of African American Studies as a coherent and innovative discipline, departmental efforts are focused on fundamental reformulations of the theories, frameworks and methods employed for understanding race and ethnicity. The field of African American Studies is new and developing. Our department has managed to establish itself at the forefront of the intellectual development of the field. The department has continued its successful St. Clair Drake Graduate Cultural Studies Forum, begun three years ago. This was developed to provide the opportunity to graduate students throughout the campus working on issues of culture and identity to present papers reflecting the direction of their research. We see all this as important to the department's stated mission of developing the theoretical and analytical frameworks for the study of Diasporic identity, of Diaspora Studies proper, and of Africa and the African Diaspora in particular by bringing together as wide a range of scholars as possible, both internationally, nationally, and campus-wide.

69. Afro-Modernity: Temporality, Politics, And The African Diaspora african diaspora scholarship is dominated by two tendencies the Herskovitzean These facets of Africa’s and the african diaspora’s history are certainly http://www.newschool.edu/gf/publicculture/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.

Events 2002 School of Art and Art History Annual Graduate Student Symposium Discerning the Diaspora Every year the graduate students from the Department of Art and Art History organize a symposium that focuses on current themes and topics relevant in contemporary art. Nationally and internationally renowned guest speakers are invited to campus to address a particular theme. This year's USF symposium will address the complexities of Diasporic identities, and the multiple ways in which contemporary art has come to understand, define and represent the Diaspora. The symposium is a collaborative effort with the Stuart Golding Endowed Chair and the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM), and is in conjunction with the art exhibition, "The Field's Edge: Africa, Diaspora, Lens". The participants in this year's symposium are also curators/artists in the exhibition, thus giving the audience a chance to understand these themes through discussion and viewing of the artists' works. Participants: Curators: Rory Bester : an art historian and curator based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has curated and/or co-curated a number of exhibitions on photography, film and video, including "Democracy's Images: Photography and Visual Art After Apartheid" for BildMuseet (Umea, Sweden), "Kwere Kwere - Journeys into Strangeness" for the Castle of Good Hope (Cape Town, South Africa), and "The Short Century - Independence and Liberation Movements in Africa" for Museum Villa Stuck (Munich, Germany).

Cuba and African Diaspora Religion by J. Lorand Matory S oricha -worship. In the United States in particular, this Afro-Cuban religion has not simply endured. It has attracted enormous classes of Cubans who would have avoided it in pre-revolutionary Cuba, as well as non-Cuban Latino immigrants who had known nothing of it in their homelands and African Americans who regard it as a way to "recover" their own ancestral African culture. Moreover, here in the U.S., the unique challenges of racial binarism have created revolutionary conflicts, and changes, in the practice of Afro-Cuban religion. I've studied, taught, and written about the Yoruba religion and its New-World counterparts-such as Lucumí in Cuba and Candomblé Nagô in Brazil-since 1980. Lucumí is by far the most prestigious of the Afro-Cuban religions, just as Candomblé Nagô is the most prestigious of the Afro-Brazilian religions. It was the need to explain this "Yoruba" preeminence that inspired my paper "The New Yoruba Empire: Texts, Migration, and the Trans-Atlantic Rise of the Lucumí Nation" presented in January 1999, at a conference co-sponsored by the Juan Marinello Center in Havana with Harvard's David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies. Because I traveled to Cuba before the conference began, I spent ten days with some wonderful Cuban

The great majority of Africans of the diaspora are in the western hemisphere where some, like the Afro-Cubans, are part of the Spanish-speaking world; some, like the Afro-Brazilians, are native speakers of Portuguese; and still others, like Haitains, are French-speaking. English-speaking blacks like Jamaicans, black Britons, black Canadians, and black Americans form the largest single group of the diaspora. This course will explore the history of these scattered children of Africa: their dispersal to various regions of the world, especially the western hemisphere; the circumstances and institutions which shaped the evolution of diasporic communities; and the continuing physical and emotional ties to Africa and Africans.

Meets: MW 2:30-3:45 BH 141 Meets with C360 This semester, the course will focus on the literature (fiction, drama, and poetry) and theory of the African diaspora. We will discuss how writers from Africa, England, the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America see their ties to a transnational community of peoples of African heritage. We will consider how they discuss race and ethnicity within their national contexts and also consider how the concept of Afrocentricity has been used at various times as a discourse to express unity among diasporic populations. We will look at written and cinematic texts to analyze the impulse to idealize Africa as an originary homeland. We will also investigate what assumptions and/or prejudices some diasporan populations have about others. The texts we will read for this class thematize the idea of travel, displacement and/or exile. By and large we will be looking at how texts from one tradition imagine or react to another: we will read about how Afro-Caribbean writers think of Africa, how Afro-British writers depict life in the United States, how Dominicans view Haitians as black but not themselves, and finally, how African writers portray the Caribbean or the United States. There will be a midterm and a final as well as one long paper assigned in this course.
