【講題】Spiritual Technologies and the Metaphysics of Enslavement
【地點】普通教室506教室
題旨：
What is freedom? What might it have meant to enslaved African Americans in the early United States? And did race have anything to do with it? In many narratives of black slave life, liberation has been figured as a release from physical bondage and racial subjugation. This talk illuminates additional frontiers of rupture, boundary transgression, and exodus in black music of the colonial era. I suggest forms such as spirituals, ring shout, and congregational hymns served multiple liberatory functions in physical and metaphysical realms. Drawing on Afrofuturist theories, I highlight these traditions as “spiritual technologies” that provided a way to both cope with slave life and build a new world. To conclude, I introduce the Spiritual Technologies Project, a current research and performance venture that attempts to document the multivalence of black spiritual practices and paint a more nuanced picture of black musical politics.
