Transnational and/or hemispheric approaches are welcome, across any geographic spectrum.

Dr. Elliott H. Powell: “On the Corner with Miles: Queerness, South Asianness and the Coalitional Black Politics of Miles Jo Davis-McElligatt

WHEN Tuesday, March 23, 2021, 2:30 – 3:30pm
WHERE Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION
In the summer of 1972, jazz artist Miles Davis released On the Corner, his first jazz-fusion studio album that deliberately sought to address African American political consciousness of the early 1970s. For example, the album art depicted men in red, green, and black as well as black leather coats and berets, serving as visual allusions to Pan-Africanism and the Black Panther Party, respectively. Along with these visual signifiers of 1970s Black politics, the music of On the Corner emphasized funk rhythmic patterns that were reminiscent of James Brown, Sly Stone, and The Last Poets, all Black power cultural icons of the late 1960s/early 1970s. And yet, despite these visual and musical expressions of early 1970s Black political thought, there were two elements of On the Corner that ran antithetical to dominant discourses of Blackness and Black politics at this time: q***rness and South Asianness. Indeed, South Asian music and musicians played a central role in the album; and the album cover art heavily featured Black q***r identities and expressions. How, then, might we make sense of these sonic and visual elements of On the Corner that do not align with dominant representations of Black politics and life at the time? This talk addresses this question by revisiting the music, visual art, and sociohistorical context of On the Corner, and argues that the album linked and articulated South Asian sound and alternative sexualities as constitutive formations—formations that dually animated and expanded notions of Blackness and Black politics of the early 1970s.

Co-sponsored by the Intercollegiate Department of American Studies, the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies, and the Department of Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (Scripps College) @ the Claremont Colleges.
