Welcome to the Pedagogies of the Emergent: Absence and Presence in the Black Atlantic site. This resource explores various archives to discuss, analyze and display elements of Black cultural presence in the diaspora as expressed through naming practices, Anansi trickster stories, religious practices, proverbs and adages, as well as musical and cultural production. This work also considers theories of absence in terms of what is missing from the archives, and presence as in the methods of transnational and intergenerational transmissions of information, practices, heritage, modes of storytelling, and being in the world. Viewers can click and zoom in on any maps, videos, or images displayed in this map. Some maps are displayed side by side, so viewers can shift to see which aspects they wish to highlight.
