[Folkserv] 3/22: "What's Going On: Notes on Sonic Blackness and the Idea of 9/11 Music"

[Moriarty, Megan]

It's in two weeks: Join the OSU Humanities Institute for the 2024 William Hammond Lecture on the American Tradition. Michael B. Gillespie, Associate Professor in the Department of Cinema Studies at NYU will present "What's Going On: Notes on Sonic Blackness and the Idea of 9/11 Music" on Friday, March 22 from 4 to 5:30 in the 18th Avenue Research Commons.

Focused on a series of music recordings and performances, the talk centers on the sonic dimensions of the art of blackness. The talk considers the irreconcilable and generative ways that a distinct circuit of songs proffers an exquisite series of disputes regarding nation, citizenship, memorialization and pleasure. As a deliberate act of deep listening and arrangement, the talk will produce an alternate writing of a post-9/11 American history attuned to a range of rhythms and unfulfilled promises.

The lecture is 4 - 5:30 pm, with a reception to follow.
