This course explores what philosophers have termed the "race-aesthetics nexus": the entanglements of race and aesthetic experience in our discourse, politics, and experience. Specifically, we will consider both how aesthetic phenomena like artworks and landscapes can be racialized, and the ways in which race is an aesthetic phenomenon. Texts include Paul Taylor's Black is Beautiful, Monique Roelof's The Cultural Promise of the Aesthetic, and Angela Davis' Blues Legacies and Black Feminism. |
