The legendary Greek figure Orpheus was said to have possessed magical powers capable of moving all living and inanimate things through the sound of his lyre and voice. Over time, the Orphic theme has come to indicate the power of music to unsettle, subvert, and ultimately bring down oppressive realities in order to liberate the soul and expand human life without limits. The liberating effect of music has been a particularly important theme in twentieth-century African American literature. The nine original (...) essays in Black Orpheus examines the Orphic theme in the fiction of such African American writers as Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, James Baldwin, Nathaniel Mackey, Sherley Anne Williams, Ann Petry, Ntozake Shange, Alice Walker, Gayl Jones, and Toni Morrison. The authors discussed in this volume depict music as a mystical, shamanistic, and spiritual power that can miraculously transform the realities of the soul and of the world. Here, the musician uses his or her music as a weapon to shield and protect his or her spirituality. Written by scholars of English, music, women's studies, American studies, cultural theory, and black and Africana studies, the essays in this interdisciplinary collection ultimately explore the thematic, linguistic structural presence of music in twentieth-century African American fiction.

This chapter firstly attempts to explain why decoloniality and planetary materialism prefer to persist as conflicting ideological apparatuses. It does this with reference to Simone Bignall’s critical disclosure in her book post-human ecologies: complexity and process after Deleuze and by critically mapping the aspects of planetary materialism by likes of Dipesh Chakraborty. This chapter then attempts to come up with a new configuration of decoloniality. It does so in order to make two inter-related claims. First, it claims that the knowledge (...) construction process in the West needs to necessitate and even demand its supplementation by the sites of non-western discourses. Second it claims that such a supplementation only indicates the latent potentiality and the contemporariness of non-western discourses. To exemplify this, it stages an interplay between the foundational Hindu religious philosophy such as Sankhya and Deleuze’s thinking. (shrink)
