The Poetics of Race and Ethnicity
This review explores how attention to poetics, broadly conceived as the aesthetic ordering of communication and the reflexive shaping thereof, can offer productive understandings of how race and ethnicity are constituted. We link research on poetics with research on race and ethnicity in linguistic anthropology and adjacent disciplines, describing scholarship in which these topics have intersected both explicitly and implicitly. In particular, se…
Making Musicology
At first glance, this colloquy’s assignment to authors of the “primary” essays may seem like an invitation to indulge in what Nicholas Mathew and Mary Ann Smart call “quirk historicism,” in which “the objets trouvés and historical micronarratives that once obediently fell into contextual patterns or acted as isolated anecdotes have staged a kind of mutiny, multiplying in the service of a narrative logic that overwhelms and even supplants any larg…
Jouer pour le public
Scholarship about French Manouches often emphasizes prohibitions on speaking about past traumas and the dead, but there are exceptions to this silence. This article explores instances in which Manouche musicians are publicly vocal about death and trauma in prior generations. Their outspokenness is particularly evident in recent public-facing musical works that commemorate the Nazi genocide of Roma people. The producers of these works self-conscio…
Staging Genocide
This article explores performance-centred efforts to remediate the erasure of Romanies from public Holocaust narratives. First, the French play Samudaripen uses aesthetic strategies that emphasize themes of violence and rupture in order to evoke the brutality of Romani persecution under Nazi and Vichy regimes. With its performative elisions between Romani experiences in internment camps in France and concentration camps abroad, Samudaripen connec…
Feeling to Learn
This article explores how music professionals promote interdiscursive oppositions between musical aurality and musical literacy to unsettle the terms of their racialization. For many French Manouches (a subgroup of Romanies/"Gypsies"), music is a source of pride, profit, and public recognition. Manouche musicians often valorize their own sensorially centered pedagogical approaches in distinction to music literacy as espoused by French schools and…
Django Generations
Placing Django
Django Reinhardt: Swing de Paris, an exhibition that took place at the Cité de la musique in Paris, depicted the life and environment of famed Manouche (French Romani/”Gypsy”) guitarist Django Reinhardt. In this article, I explore how the exhibition performed a spatialized centre-periphery model of citizenship that both reflected and reinforced Manouche marginality in relation to broader French society. I argue that museum exhibitions generate an…
Music That Tears You Apart
Through talk and performance, participants in the genre of jazz manouche articulate Manouche (French Romani/"Gypsy") ethnoracial identities. This article takes a semiotic approach to exploring how ethnoracial differences are perceived sonically and reified through language about jazz manouche guitar technique. By analyzing interlocutors' sensory descriptors such as power, rawness, and even the feeling of ethnoracial identity itself, this article …
Jazz Manouche
Ťažká Duša (Heavy heart)
"The politics of "understanding
This article explores how song operates as a forum through which Alsatian Manouches (a subgroup of Romanies/"Gypsies") negotiate social relations with non-Manouches and with each other. Two of the most salient identity markers for Manouches are music and language. Whereas Manouches regard instrumental music as a legitimate means of engaging with non-Manouche people, it is often considered inappropriate to share their spoken dialect of Romani with…
His Soul Was Wandering and Holy”
Can one speak of fandom in terms of religion? While some studies of fandom make explicit connections between fandom and religion, others discredit these comparisons for multiple reasons. But, before any comparison can be made or refuted, one must interrogate what is meant by "religion" and the associated terminology. This article will present some aspects in which the community of Jean "Django" Reinhardt fans may resemble religious worshippers, a…
