André Brock Jr. claims issues of race and ethnicity as inextricable from and formative of contemporary digital culture in the United States. Distributed Blackness analyzes a host of platforms and practices (from Black Twitter to Instagram, YouTube, and app development) to trace how digital media have reconfigured the meanings and performances of African American identity. Brock moves beyond widely circulated deficit models of respectability, bringing together discourse analysis with a close reading of technological interfaces to develop nuanced arguments about how “blackness” gets worked out in various technological domains. As Brock demonstrates, there’s nothing niche or subcultural about expressions of blackness on social media: internet use and practice now set the terms for what constitutes normative participation. Drawing on critical race theory, linguistics, rhetoric, information studies, and science and technology studies, Brock tabs between black-dominated technologies, websites, and social media to build a set of black beliefs about technology. In explaining black relationships with and alongside technology, Brock centers the unique joy and sense of community in being black online now. 2024-04-03T10:12:38Z 2024-04-03T10:12:38Z 2020 book ONIX_20240403_9781479811908_205 9781479811908 9781479820375 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/89487 eng Critical Cultural Communication application/pdf application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781479811908_WEB.pdf 9781479811908_EPUB.epub New York University Press NYU Press 10.18574/nyu/9781479820375.001.0001 10.18574/nyu/9781479820375.001.0001 7d95336a-0494-42b2-ad9c-8456b2e29ddc 9781479811908 9781479820375 NYU Press 9 New York open access
