Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Imagining Afrodescendance and the African Diaspora in Spain: Re-/De-Centering Belonging in Literature, Photography, and FilmIn recent years, an increasing number of African and Afrodescendant artists in Spain have been speaking from an in-between space defined by the experience of being perceived as the “racialized Other.” Their work is characterized by a political commitment and an aim to provide visibility to their communities and (re)value their African heritage. From a cultural studies and discourse analysis perspective, I explore three diverse examples, poems by Yeison García López, a photobook by Rubén H. Bermúdez, and a documentary by Sergio Aparicio, that all imagine Afrodescendance as a shared narrative and empowering moment relating Africa and her diaspora. In their works, García López, Bermúdez, and Aparicio conceptualize Afrodescendance as a powerful source of belonging. Relating to the multitude of African/Afrodiasporic realities, they offer a decentered space of identification that enables the subject to embrace (new) networks of solidarity and, through active self-positioning, transcend an experience of marginalization characteristic of her/his diasporic condition.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:52Heft:2666 128 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, “To Be Black in a ‘White’ Country” - On the Ambivalence of the Diasporic Experience in César A. Mba Abogo's El porteador de Marlow. Canción negra sin color (2007)This essay focuses on the ambivalence of the diasporic experience of the Black subject in Equatoguinean writer César A. Mba Abogo's collection of short stories and poems El porteador de Marlow. Canción negra sin color (2007). It discusses how these texts reflect the experience of alienness and exclusion lived by the Black diasporic subject in a "white" European society, unsilencing a marginalized perspective on African migration to and presence in Europe. Moreover, the essay proposes a reading of the extensive network of references to Black history, knowledge systems, and intertexts evoked throughout the collection as offering a way to transcend the Black diasporic subject's isolation and to connect to a shared and ongoing history of oppression, displacement, and marginalization on the one hand but of agency, resistance, and self-empowerment on the other.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:48Heft:383 146 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Migratory Movements in Life Stories and Literary Writing: A Conversation with Joaquín Mbomío Bacheng on Equatoguinean Literature and Afro-Diasporic Communities in EuropeIn this interview, Equatoguinean writer Joaquín Mbomío Bacheng talks about his own experience of migrating to and living in Europe, an experience likewise echoed in his literary writing. in this context, the author not only tackles topics such as the discrimination and stereotyping of African immigrants, but also broaches the issue of enriching cultural encounters experienced by the Afro-diasporic subject. Pointing out the essential role Afro-diasporic communities could assume as mediators between European societies and African cultures, Mbomío Bacheng pleads for an open and continuing dialogue of cultures that promotes mutual respect and transcultural dynamics from which everyone might benefit. Moreover, by illustrating the particular colonial and postcolonial relation of Equatorial Guinea to Spain, he explains the originality of Equatoguinean literature, which still tends to be rather invisible in both Spain and Equatorial Guinea.Wissenschaftlicher ArtikelBand:48Heft:397 102 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
