Of the (Re-)Construction of African American Male Identities in 21st-Century Popular Cultures
Résumé
In this presentation, I intend to analyze the transformations of representations of African American male individuals in cinema and music, but also in mass media, including social networks. I want to probe the ways African Americans have queered the monolith of “Black identity.” Using famous examples such as Marvel movies, hip hop tracks, and/or social media clashes (among others), this analysis will be made from gender, sexual, and social perspectives.
