Fred Moten & Saidiya Hartman at Duke University | The Black Outdoors

In this recording, Fred Moten and Saidiya Hartman discuss “the black outdoors” as it relates to blackness and its simultaneous ability and inability to be accurately captured.

The title of the working group and speaker series points up the ways blackness figures as always outside the state, unsettled, unhomed, and unmoored from sovereignty in its doubled-form of aggressively white discourses on legitimate citizenship on one hand and the public/private divide itself on the other.
