The Explicit, the Implicit and the Minor: Two Obscene Blues by Lucille Bogan
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2017.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Lucille Bogan’s biography is full of gaps, yet the singer handed down about sixty recorded tracks to us, in which she explicitly evokes the themes of alcohol and prostitution—and more specifically in two blues which have remained unreleased for a long time. This paper will show how this artist brings to light an obscene dimension deeply rooted in Afro-American culture. But Lucille Bogan also shakes up the codes of a bawdy “phallocentric” obscenity and manifests her feminism while claiming her blackness, a far cry from the puritan rhetoric of feminist organizations, whatever the race.
