Moving fluidly between the insurgent art of the 1960's and the intersectional activism of the present day, Afro-Fabulations challenges genealogies of blackness that ignore its creative capacity to exceed conditions of traumatic loss, social death, and archival erasure. If black survival in an anti-black world often feels like a race against time, Afro-Fabulations looks to the modes of memory and imagination through which a queer and black polytemporality is invented and sustained. Moving past the antirelational debates in queer theory, Nyong'o posits queerness as "angular sociality," drawing upon queer of color critique in order to name the gate and rhythm of black social life as it moves in and out of step with itself. He takes up a broad range of sites of analysis, from speculative fiction to performance art, from artificial intelligence to Blaxploitation cinema. Reading the archive of violence and trauma against the grain, Afro-Fabulations summons the poetic powers of queer world-making that have always been immanent to the fight and play of black life." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a American drama $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African Americans in the performing arts. 650 0 $a Gays in the performing arts $z United States. 650 0 $a Homosexuality in the theater $z United States. 650 7 $a African Americans in the performing arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799740 650 7 $a American drama $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806999 650 7 $a Gays in the performing arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737693 650 7 $a Homosexuality in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01736145 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Sexual cultures. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011022.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707011042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=837E7274462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
