I will consider Lee’s Girl 6 (1996), Bamboozled (2000) and BlaKkKlansman (2018). The aforementioned movies have been particularly effective in overturning the rhetorical mechanisms linked to the Savage, Coon and Victim models in American entertainment. mer., 24 janv. 2024 13:54:54 +0100 mar., 02 avril 2024 10:48:02 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1142 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1138 Starting from music video by The Carters performing Apeshit, where the two Afro-Americans artists celebrate their socioeconomic success, becoming icons that represent the redemption of black people, this paper tries to reflect on the relationship between icon and redemption in capitalistic socioeconomic system - relationship that develops from Christology’s “economic of salvation” and the historical domain of whiteness. mer., 24 janv. 2024 12:07:10 +0100 mar., 02 avril 2024 10:45:36 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1138 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1147 Watchmen (2019), created by Lindelof, is built on the personal and family history of Angela Abar (Regina King). The protagonist’s personal events trace the history of the United States. On one hand the tv show places historical facts side by side with surreal cataclysms, on the other it gives a form to the collective feeling of injustice and invisibility at the origin of recent movements such as Black Lives Matter. This essay will focus on the journey of the protagonist as a journey through the racist history of the USA and on the destituent operations that the series carries out in relation to gender and bodies, founding myths and institutions. mer., 24 janv. 2024 14:09:14 +0100 mer., 14 févr. 2024 16:04:08 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1147 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1125 This article is about the paradoxical relationship of Malcolm X to Western philosophy. Throughout his Autobiography, Malcolm appears not only as an activist, as a revolutionary or revolutionist, but as some sort of a street (plebeian) philosopher assiduous in problematizing his own trajectory, his experience, his ordeals and his metamorphosis – a typically philosophical gesture. He refers to the Western philosophy he has become familiar with in prison, but he has to reinvent it completely so that he can make it its own, part of his « dream ». Therefore, he fantasizes about an « Oriental Socrates », a « Black Spinoza ». Philosophy is made of many more things than just academics, books and seminars. This is what Malcolm’s appropriation/hybridization of Western philosophy shows. mer., 24 janv. 2024 11:32:54 +0100 mer., 24 janv. 2024 11:33:14 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1125
