	AAS 1060 - Introduction to African American Studies Unlike most established disciplines, there is to be a lack of consensus among Africana Studies scholars as to what exactly is African American/Afro-American/Africana/Pan African/Black Studies, and/or what constitutes the nature and scope of the discipline. The National Council for Black Studies, the leading organization of Black Studies professionals in the world, defines it as a discipline that investigates African peoples’ experiences from the perspective of their interests, aspirations, possibilities, and envisioned destinies. Experiences that range from the earliest human civilizations to the tragic era of enslavement, colonization, forced migration, displacement and the reconstruction of African peoples humanity and life ways. This introductory course investigates the foundation, nature, scope, and structure of African American/Africana Studies in American Universities.

Finally, a comparative exploration of the interrelationship between African American/Africana Studies, Area Studies, and Ethnic Studies, as well as some emerging intellectual developments in Africana Studies research, teaching, and service activities will help guide us later into the semester as we engage in our focused discussions and discoveries of a satisfactory definition of the discipline, and an operational description of its basics and essentials.

	AAS 2500 - Blackness and the Arts Introduction to the idea of a black art by focusing on a number of different kinds of art practice that enact the idea of race (e.g., film, video, fine art, new media, television, photography, literature). Develop skills in the critical study of black art as a historiographical, cultural, and political craft. Topics are chosen to provide a wide breadth and scope of black visual and expressive culture. The course is interdisciplinary by design and necessity. Encourages a shift of hermeneutics from the black life world to black visual and expressive culture in the terms of blackness. This means repurposing the study of black art in ways other than fidelity to the social category of race and an ethics of positive and negative representation that tacitly encourages the idea of film as cultural policy. Details a commitment to how new paradigms for form and aesthetics, historiography, and intertextuality constitute blackness as the unfinalizable encounter between the idea of race and the idea of art rather than blackness as merely sociology. The approach of this course is primarily that of visual culture and post-structuralist work devoted to difference. In this way, the method is twofold. Firstly, this is an introduction to the idea of race as enacted in the arts and an introduction to critical theory.

The purpose of this class is to promote a rigorous sense of blackness as entailing a negotiation with the necessary, creative tensions between art and distinct modalities of black visual and expressive culture. In other words, this course redraws the lines of influence, appreciation, allusion, causality, reference, and exposition by recognizing the importance of ambiguity over prescription. The approach of the class is most immediately informed by the work of Darby English (How to See a Work of Art in Total Darkness), Kobena Mercer (Annotating Art’s Histories series), and Kimberly Benston (Performing Blackness: Enactments of African American Modernism). This body of literature represents a focus on black visual and expressive culture as a critical art informed by the history of African Americans but not utterly reducible to that history. Therefore, the course frames the respective topic or theme as a multi-discursive aesthetic and cultural practice. In this way, the method will be that of visual culture and black studies.
