Beschreibung

The concept of the Black Atlantic has been used to look at Black culture on all sides of the Atlantic in the context of migration, diaspora, and hybridity. This two-volume publication explores philosophical notions and aesthetic forms of temporality in the Black Atlantic. The authors trace a transnational political and aesthetic emancipation movement of intellectuals and artists from the 1930s to the 1980s and beyond.In the first volume, Gabriele Genge deals with artistic contributions in a transnational understanding of Négritude. She provides insights into a fundamental artistic interest in debating and transcending modern ideas about time. A transcultural horizon emerges that counters the racist and ethnological time regimes of modernity with polychronic manifestations of African thought and knowledge.
