Creolized aurality : Guadeloupean gwoka and postcolonial politics / J�er�ome Camal. - 1 online resource (1 volume) - Chicago studies in ethnomusicology . - Chicago studies in ethnomusicology. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction. Listening for (post)colonial entanglements -- The poetics of colonial aurality -- Building an anticolonial aurality: gwoka mod�enn as counterpoetics -- Discrepant creolizations: music and the limits of hospitality -- Diasporic or creole aurality: aesthetics and politics across the abyss -- Postnational aurality: institutional detour and the creolization of sovereignty -- Coda. Bigidi.
In the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, the complex interplay between anticolonial resistance and accommodation resounds in its music. Guadeloupean gwoka music - a secular, drum-based tradition - captures the entangled histories of French colonization, movements against it, and the uneasy process of the island's decolonization as an overseas territory of France. In Creolized Aurality, J r me Camal demonstrates that musical sounds and practices express the multiple--and often seemingly contradictory--cultural belongings and political longings that characterize postcoloniality. While gwoka has been associated with anti-colonial activism since the 1960s, in more recent years it has provided a platform for a cohort of younger musicians to express pan-Caribbean and diasporic solidarities. This generation of musicians even worked through the French state to gain UNESCO heritage status for their art. These gwoka practices, Camal argues, are "creolized auralities"--Expressions of a culture both of and against French coloniality and postcoloniality
