Kahlil Joseph and the Audiovisual Atlantic: Music, Modernity, Transmedia Art
This is the first book-length study of Kahlil Joseph’s work. Distinguishing the artist’s personal and professional personas, it traces Joseph’s career trajectory and artistic output, emphasizing how the director’s construction of a multifaceted filmmaking persona operates in tandem with his artworks to challenge fixed, unidimensional or stable notions of identity. By challenging the latent Eurocentricity on which dominant theorizations of ‘modernity’ – as well as the overlapping fields of Film, Media and Screen Studies – are grounded, the book offers an alternative framework for negotiating the paradoxes, contradictions and transnational flows of our media-saturated present: namely, the Audiovisual Atlantic.
