BLACK MOTION: MATERIAL MOVEMENT ACROSS MOVING-PICTURES, PHYSICS OF MOTION, AND CONTEMPORARY POLITICAL THOUGHT ___ WE BEGIN BY EXAMINING THE 2020 GEORGE FLOYD UPRISINGS: WHAT WERE THEY, HOW DID THEY EVOLVE, AND HOW WERE THEY INSTRUMENTALIZED? DRAWING ON RADICAL BLACK CRITIQUES OF SOCIA AND ONTOLOGICAL THOUGHT, WE THEN ENGAGE THE RADICAL AESTHETICS OF RECENT BLACK FILM AND VIDEO WORKS, EXAMINING THEIR QUALITIES OF MOVEMENT IN RELATION TO BOTH FILM THEORY AND ANCIENT AND CONTEMPORARY UNDERSTANDINGS OF PHYSICAL MOTION. WITH THIS FRESH CONCEPTUAL PALETTE, WE ENGAGE CURRENT POLITICAL THEORY, ARTICULATING CONCEPTS OF MOVEMENT WITH EUROPEAN PHILOSOPHY AND BLACK STUDIES
