    “IT’S THE FEELINGS I WEAR”: BLACK WOMEN, NATURAL HAIR, AND NEW MEDIA (RE)NEGOTIATIONS OF BEAUTY By Kristin Denise Rowe A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of African American and African Studies—Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT “IT’S THE FEELINGS I WEAR”: BLACK WOMEN, NATURAL HAIR, AND NEW MEDIA (RE)NEGOTIATIONS OF BEAUTY By Kristin Denise Rowe At the intersection of social media, a trend in organic products, and an interest in do-it-yourself culture, the late 2000s opened a space for many Black American women to stop chemically straightening their hair via “relaxers” and begin to wear their hair natural—resulting in an Internet-based cultural phenomenon known as the “natural hair movement.” Within this context, conversations around beauty standards, hair politics, and Black women’s embodiment have flourished within the public sphere, largely through YouTube, social media, and websites. My project maps these conversations, by exploring contemporary expressions of Black women’s natural hair within cultural production. Using textual and content analysis, I investigate various sites of inquiry: natural hair product advertisements and internet representations, as well as the ways hair texture is evoked in recent song lyrics, filmic scenes, and non- fiction prose by Black women. Each of these “hair moments” offers a complex articulation of the ways Black women experience, share, and negotiate the socio-historically fraught terrain that is racialized body politics

  • Black Filmmakers After “Blaxploitation” WB
    Fall 2020 RTF 370: Black Filmmakers After “Blaxploitation” WB Instructor: Adrien Sebro Email: [email protected] Seminar Day anD Time: TTh 2:00PM-3:30PM Office Hours: Thursdays 1-2PM or by appointment Course Description: May it be the Harlem Renaissance, The L.A. Rebellion, or Blaxploitation, there has existed various U.S. arts movements with Black artists and Black culture at their center. Blaxploitation is a term coined in the early 1970s to refer to Black action films that were aimed at Black audiences. Featuring Black actors in lead roles and often having anti-establishment plots, these films were frequently condemned for stereotypical characterizations and the glorification of violence. The films, though receiving backlash for their stereotypical characters, are among the first in which Black characters and communities are the heroes and subjects of film and television, rather than sidekicks or villains or victims of brutality. The genre’s inception coincides with the rethinking of race relations in the 1970s. Blaxploitation films were originally aimed at an urban Black audience, but the genre’s audience appeal soon broadened across racial and ethnic lines. Hollywood soon realized the potential profit of expanding the audiences of Blaxploitation films across those racial lines. But what was to come after this movement? How can we label contemporary Black filmmakers and their works of art? Presently, with the robust number of Black filmmakers across Hollywood, what are the new ways in which Blackness is framed across dominant Hollywood cinema, independent film, animation, television, and experimental film? With this course we will use case studies of various contemporary Black filmmakers (1980s-Present) while working to question and complicate the ways in which they deploy images, understandings, and narratives of Blackness within American society.
