    Prof. D. A. Brooks [email protected] Office: 405, Dept. of African American Stds, 81 Wall Street Spring 2015 Meets Tu/Th 2:30-3:45pm Location: WLH 208 Office Hours: Tu: 4-5pm, W: 3:30pm-5pm & by appointment AFAM 403/THST 431/AM STDS 386 “…Who Run the World”: Black Women and Popular Music Culture [Billie] Holiday demonstrates… the value of important lives and voices Otherwise dismissed. --Lindon Barrett, Blackness and Value My persuasion can build a nation. --Beyonce From Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday to Tina Turner and Beyonce, from Nina Simone and Grace Jones to Lauryn Hill and Nicki Minaj, black women have used various forms of musical expression as sites of social and ideological resistance and revision. Through an exploration of voice, lyricism, kinesthetic performance, instrumentality and visual aesthetics, this course examines the “world wide underground” of black women’s sonic cultures, and it re-interrogates pop music subculture theories through the intersecting prisms of race, gender, class and sexuality. It considers the ways that black women musicians operate as socio- political and cultural intellectuals, and it reads their work as historically-situated cultural texts that resonate in multiple contexts. Throughout the semester, we will explore the ways in which black women culture workers have stylized and innovated disruptive and iconic performance practices within the context of American popular music culture, from the postbellum era through the present day. Part of the aim of this course is to trace the tensions between the enormous influence and ubiquity of the black female singing voice in globalized popular cultures and the ways in which a range of entertainers have nonetheless negotiated eccentric and “obscure” musical gestures that signaled and affirmed the existence of resistant musical aesthetics in the face of panopticism.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

He was a prosperous local merchant who ran a President store which supplied area residents with a wide variety of Edward Chase, III goods. In his diary (a partial typed copy of which is at the Vice President Kent Memorial Library) he notes on August 9, 1788 “This Arthur Sikes, Jr. day Raised the Frame of a store adjoining the north end of Treasurer my Hous.” Presumably, the store was run from a room in Gary Mandirola his home before this date.
