Black Time and the Aesthetic Possibility of Objects
The decades following the civil rights and decolonization movements of the sixties and seventies—termed the post-soul era—created new ways to understand the aesthetics of global racial representation. Daphne Lamothe shows that beginning around 1980 and continuing to the present day, Black literature, art, and music resisted the pull of singular and universal notions of racial identity. Developing the idea of “Black aesthetic time”—a multipronged theoretical concept that analyzes the ways race and time collide in the process of cultural production—she assesses Black fiction, poetry, and visual and musical texts by Paule Marshall, Zadie Smith, Tracy K. Smith, Dionne Brand, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Stromae, among others. Lamothe asks how our understanding of Blackness might expand upon viewing racial representation without borders—or, to use her concept, from the permeable, supple place of Black aesthetic time. Lamothe purposefully focuses on texts told from the vantage point of immigrants, migrants, and city dwellers to conceptualize Blackness as a global phenomenon without assuming the universality or homogeneity of racialized experience. In this new way to analyze Black global art, Lamothe foregrounds migratory subjects poised on thresholds between not only old and new worlds, but old and new selves.

Music Video and Transcultural Imaginaries
From their inception, music videos have served as an important instrument for depicting collective emotional states, cultural affiliations and processes of social change. At the beginning of the 21st century, the utilization of the music video genre changed, with more and more artists using it to address social and political grievances as well as questions of identity. Both the decline of music television as a gatekeeper limiting access and participation as well as the rise of social media have contributed significantly to the growth of the critical and subversive but also utopian potential of music videos. As a result, music videos today offer counter-proposals to heteronormativity, ableism, patriarchalism, racism and other forms of oppression that not only reach a wider audience but also reflect a broader diversity of lifestyles, interests and motivations than was possible during the MTV era. This volume explores transcultural imaginaries in music videos from a variety of angles, providing a broad overview of approaches to negotiating the 'cultural' in the music video genre, both past and present.
