Davis and Black critical theory -- Black aesthetic theory. 520 $a "Phenomenal Blackness examines the changing interdisciplinary investments of key mid-century African American writers and thinkers, showing how their investments in sociology and anthropology gave way to a growing interest in German philosophy and critical theory by the 1960s. Thompson analyzes this shift in intellectual focus across the post-war decades, pinpointing its clearest expression in Amiri Baraka's writings on jazz and blues, in which he insisted on philosophy as the critical means by which to grasp African American expressive culture. More sociologically oriented thinkers, such as W. E. B. Du Bois, had understood blackness as a singular set of socio-historical characteristics. In contrast, writers such as Baraka, James Baldwin, Angela Y. Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, and Malcolm X were variously drawn to notions of an African essence, an ontology of Black being. For them, the work of Adorno, Habermas, Marcuse, and German thinkers was a vital resource, allowing for continued cultural-materialist analysis while accommodating the hermeneutical aspects of African American religious thought. Mark Christian Thompson argues that these efforts to reimagine Black singularity led to a phenomenological understanding of blackness--a "Black aesthetic dimension" wherein aspirational models for Black liberation might emerge"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American philosophy. 650 0 $a Philosophy, German. 650 0 $a Critical theory $x History. 650 0 $a African American aesthetics. 650 0 $a Criticism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a American literature $x German influences. $x German influences. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x Vie intellectuelle $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Philosophie noire ameÌricaine. 650 6 $a Philosophie allemande. 650 6 $a TheÌorie critique $x Histoire. 650 6 $a EstheÌtique noire ameÌricaine. 650 6 $a Critique $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American aesthetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799002 650 7 $a African American philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799296 650 7 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799627 650 7 $a Critical theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883690 650 7 $a Criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883735 650 7 $a Philosophy, German. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060969 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Thinking literature 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220520010544.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2491F66CD80211ECB2BAAE9643ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
