"La 'poética relacional' jamaicano-canadiense: Poesía dub, ritmo musical y flujos de conciencia negra transnacional"

Jamaican-Canadian ‘Poetics of Relations’: Dub Poetry, Musical Rhythm, and Flows of Transnational Black Consciousness

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

El artículo sitúa la poesía dub en el contexto de los sonidos itinerantes de la música y la poesía oral entre el Caribe, Canadá e Inglaterra. Enfocando la poesía dub desde una perspectiva hemisférica y transnacional y a través de la lente de la “poética de las relaciones” de Glissant, el artículo se centra en la poesía dub canadiense y la relaciona con los inicios jamaicanos y las extensiones diaspóricas en Gran Bretaña. Como muestra el artículo, la poesía dub desempeña un papel clave como archivo sonoro transnacional y transgenérico (Antwi) y como forma poética de anhelo de culminación, añadiendo así nuevas narrativas a un discurso más amplio de transnacionalismo negro que no está en absoluto limitado ni necesariamente vinculado al “panafricanismo u otros tipos de negritud”. Por el contrario, la poesía dub también responde a todo tipo de movimientos internacionales como el anticolonialismo, el socialismo y el feminismo para crear imaginarios e historiografías transnacionales de las culturas negras diaspóricas.
