Speaking in Tongues and Dancing Diaspora Black Women Writing and Performing


Free Download Mae G. Henderson, "Speaking in Tongues and Dancing Diaspora: Black Women Writing and Performing "
English | ISBN: 0195116593 | 2014 | 336 pages | PDF | 26 MB
The oral tradition has always played an important role in African American literature, ranging from works such as Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God to Toni Morrison’s Beloved. These and countless other novels affirm the power of sonance and sound in the African American literary canon. Considering the wide swath of work in this powerful lineage – in addition to its shared heritage with performance – Mae G. Henderson deploys her trope of "speaking in tongues" to theorize the preeminence of voice and narration in black women’s literary performance through her reconstruction of a fundamentally spiritual practice as a critical concept for reading black women’s writing dialogically and intertextually.

As the 20th century dawned, authors, artists, and filmmakers flocked to cities like Paris and Berlin for a chance to experience a bustling urban life and engage with other artists and intellectuals. Among them were German-speaking authors and filmmakers such as Harry Graf Kessler, Rainer Maria Rilke, August Endell, Alfred Döblin, Else Lasker-Schüler, Segundo de Chomón, and the brothers Max and Emil Skladanowsky. In their writing and artistic work from that period, they depicted the perpetual influx of stimuli caused by urban life-including hordes of pedestrians, bustling traffic, and a barrage of advertisements-as well as how these encounters repeatedly paralleled their experiences of watching early twentieth-century dance performances by Loïe Fuller, Ruth St. Denis, and Vaslav Nijinsky. The convergence these writers and filmmakers saw between the unexpected encounters during their urban strolls and experimental dance performances led to writings that interwove the two motifs.

English | ASIN: B0CK4WBDJ1 | 2024 | 6 hours and 46 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 376 MB
Author: Simon Wu
Narrator: Shawn K. Jain

An expansive and deeply personal essay collection which explores the aesthetics of class aspiration, the complications of creating art and fashion, and the limits of identity politics. In Robyn’s 2010 track Dancing on My Own, the Swedish pop-singer chronicles a night on the dance floor in the shadow of a former lover. She is bitter, angry, and at times desperate, and yet by the time the chorus arrives her frustration has melted away. She decides to dance on her own, and in this way, she transforms her solitude into a more complex joy. Taking inspiration from Robyn’s seminal track, emerging art critic and curator Simon Wu dances through the institutions of art, capitalism, and identity in these expertly researched, beautifully rendered essays. In "A Model Childhood" he catalogs the decades’ worth of clutter in his mother’s suburban garage and its meaning for himself and his family.
