Abstract

The following ethnographic essay brings to bear a discussion on the relationship between poetics and politics in performance; which implies that the activist arts as well as music and dance can be conceived as, together with scholarship, the political, intellectual and aesthetic basis of a given community. Such practices, however, can be thought of as risky. The work is also legible as an attempt to meld such practices - concerning their function and consequences - in the context of an African community and in graduation institutions in the United States. The interactive and performative writing aims at an exchange between fieldworkers and the people they work with, and it has also been thought of as a way to represent and evoke the author’s material and ideas.
