SUMMARY:Margo Natalie Crawford: "The Diasporic Shock of Elsewhere in Africa
 n and African American Literature"
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to encounter “elsewhere” through literatu
 re and art? How do texts\, images\, and exchanges across the African diasp
 ora reshape the boundaries between African and African American cultural p
 roduction?\\r\\nIn this seminar\, Margo Natalie Crawford explores these qu
 estions through Édouard Glissant’s concept of the “shock of elsewhere
 .” Drawing on works such as Chimamanda Adichie’s “Americanah”\, th
 e letters between Bessie Head and Langston Hughes\, Ama Ata Aidoo’s “O
 ur Sister Killjoy” and “The Dilemma of a Ghost”\, and the poetry of 
 Keorapetse Kgositsile\, the lecture examines the diasporic impulse that co
 ntinues to blur literary\, cultural\, and geographic boundaries. The sessi
 on will also consider how book covers and visual art illuminate this Black
  diasporic “shock of elsewhere.”
