AFAS C3930: Topics in the Black Experience: African American Photographic Cultures
4.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
This undergraduate seminar explores the politics of representation in African American photography. We will examine a diverse range of visual "texts," including daguerreotypes, collages, installations, photo-essays, image-text collaborations, and multiple traditions, including social documentary, protest, street photography, photo-journalism, modernism and portraiture. Throughout the semester we will discuss the relationship of photography to some central themes in black culture and creative expression, including confined space, invisibility vs. visibility, heroism, and historical "truth." We will set photographs in their historical context, discussing slavery, lynching, migration, segregation and poverty. Engaging the debates surrounding representation and race, we will consider to what extent photography has subverted racial identities and social hierarchies, attacked caricatures and stereotypes, furthered protest movements, and dismantled the master's house with the master's tools.

AFAS W3030: African-American Music
3.00 Credits
Columbia University in the City of New York
This course focuses on a central question: how do we define "African American music"? In attempting to answer this question, we will be thinking through concepts such as authenticity, representation, recognition, cultural ownership, appropriation, and origin(s). These concepts have structured the ways in which critics, musicians and audiences have addressed the various social, political and aesthetic contexts in which African American music has been composed (produced), performed (re-produced) and heard (consumed). In exploring the diversity of African American musical expression, we will question our assumptions about race, about music, and the links between the two. By taking a largely historical approach, we will see how African American music has both shaped and been shaped by the social contexts in which it is created and performed. Our readings and discussions will encompass African American music from spirituals and work songs to bebop and hip hop, from Duke Ellington to N.W.A., from Bessie Smith to Stevie Wonder, from James Reese Europe to Bob Marley, all of which will help us explore the rich set of meanings black music has held in the Americas for over four hundred years.
