Culture from the midnight hour : a critical reassessment of the black power movement in twentieth century AmericaTorrubia, Rafael January 2011 (has links)
The thesis seeks to develop a more sophisticated view of the black power movement in twentieth century America by analysing the movement’s cultural legacy. The rise, maturation and decline of black power as a political force had a significant impact on American culture, black and white, yet to be substantively analysed. The thesis argues that while the black power movement was not exclusively cultural it was essentially cultural. It was a revolt in and of culture that was manifested in a variety of forms, with black and white culture providing an index to the black and white world view. This independent black culture base provided cohesion to a movement otherwise severely lacking focus and structural support for the movement’s political and economic endeavours. Each chapter in the PhD acts as a step toward understanding black power as an adaptive cultural term which served to connect and illuminate the differing ideological orientations of movement supporters and explores the implications of this. In this manner, it becomes possible to conceptualise the black power movement as something beyond a cacophony of voices which achieved few tangible gains for African-Americans and to move the discussion beyond traditional historiographical perspectives which focus upon the politics and violence of the movement. Viewing the movement from a cultural perspective places language, folk culture, film, sport, religion and the literary and performing arts in a central historical context which served to spread black power philosophy further than political invective. By demonstrating how culture served to broaden the appeal and facilitate the acceptance of black power tenets it is possible to argue that the use of cultural forms of advocation to advance black power ideologies contributed significantly to making the movement a lasting influence in American culture – one whose impact could be discerned long after its exclusively political agenda had disintegrated.

‘Swartsmeer’ : ’n studie oor die stereotipering van Afrika en Afrikane in die populere mediaVan Zyl, Christa Engela 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / This thesis consists of a study that identifies and analyses the origins, nature, and spectrum of
different stereotypes of Africans in popular texts.
The past can only be explored through texts, which are unavoidably mediated, re-interpreted,
fictional and temporary. No text can be read in isolation – it is imperative to gain knowledge
about the social and ideological context in the analysis of any historical text.
History shows that racism is a constructed concept, and the roots of stereotypical perceptions of
the ‘Other’ can be found in antiquity – in Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece and the Jewish Torah,
as well as during the Middle Ages. A historical synopsis is given of the conception and
development of racial stereotyping through the ages until the present. The study demonstrates
how stereotypes gradually adapt with history, politics, and ideology. Stereotypes are in my
opinion not necessarily constructed on purpose. Stereotypes are developed and based on
historical events, but are transformed in time to fulfil new purposes. My conclusion is that racist
stereotypes of Africans are created in the West, by the West, for the West.
In many ways, the adaptation of the stereotypes of Africans act as a timeline for Western
involvement on the continent. The stereotypical portrayal of Africa as the Dark Continent, “White
Man’s Burden” and Godforsaken Continent will firstly be studied. Secondly, the depiction of
African-Americans, especially in American popular culture, is discussed through stereotypes like
Mammy, Uncle Tom, Jezebel, and Buck. The theme of my practical component, a two part
series about the Cape Carnival, discusses the stereotype of the “Jolly Hotnot” or “Coon” and
examines the portrayal of Africans as comical.
The study shows the important role popular media plays in spreading and reaffirming
stereotypes. Stereotypes are often used as a survival method to make the multiplicity of reality
manageable, recognisable, and understandable. Stereotyping becomes problematic if the
stereotypes are used as generalisations to marginalise a group in terms of features such as skin
colour. A type of “cultural decolonisation” would be necessary to counteract this marginalisation,
through popular culture created by in Africa, by Africans, for Africans and international popular
culture.
