It has also p roductively prompted scholars in diverse fields to reckon with its limits, encouraging many kinds of Black Atlantic, transoceanic, and transnational a pproaches to the study of diasporic Black cultures and cultural alliances. Our goal is to consider what intellectual and political work might we yet a ccomplish by thinking with—but also against or aslant of—aspects of Gilroy’ s formulation and the discussions it provoked. We feel the urgency of refle cting on Black Atlantic studies at a time when the recent uprising for raci al and reparative justice in the US has invigorated solidarity among people from many parts of the Black Atlantic world. This two-part symposium (pre- recorded presentations and live conversation about them) invites participan ts to put Black Atlantic theory and practice into conversation with the Bla ck Lives Matter movement. \n*Please register in advance to watch the pre-re corded presentation and receive the invitation to the live discussion: http s://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0H5kGYgMRY7Oi4l\nPresentersNathal ie Batraville\nTitle of Presentation: “Atlantic Refusals: Kinship and Belon ging Beyond Transnationalism in Dionne Brand’s Land to Light On” \nPaul Gil roy offers the Black Atlantic as a “single, complex unity of analysis” that produces “an explicitly transnational and intercultural perspective” on Bl ack culture and identity.

Title of Presentation: “Atlantic Refusals: Kinship and Belonging Beyond Transnat ionalism in Dionne Brand’s Land to Light On”
Paul Gilr oy offers the Black Atlantic as a “single, complex unity of analysis” that produces “an explicitly transnational and intercultural perspective” on Bla ck culture and identity. In this talk, I reflect on Black and Indigenous so lidarities on Turtle Island and the possibilities and limitations embedded in Gilroy’s work. I theorize alternative grammars of refusal grounded in li beratory and decolonial disruptions of space and place. Reading the poetry of Dionne Brand, I reflect on the ways Black and Indigenous queer being und er settler colonialism comes to articulate forms of political existence tha t reconfigure belonging beyond sovereignty and transnationalism, and beyond the Atlantic.

This presentation examines Gilroy’s outlining of the Black Atlantic, and in particular the political repercussions of the circulation of Black cultura l and musical texts within it, from the vantage point of a diasporic outpos t on its margins: the Pacific coast of Colombia. I will suggest that the Bl ack Colombian case both shows the ongoing validity of Gilroy’s framework an d exposes the contradictions and lacunae of the Black Atlantic formulation — both with ramifications for Black cultural politics globally.
