Paris Blues: African-American Music, Seen, Heard and Imagined.
Seminars
Public; Staff; Students; Academics
The 1961 film Paris Blues engages a familiar set of ideas about African-American musicians in the city: racial equality, sexual liberation, and artistic recognition. As a Hollywood movie of the Civil Rights Era, however, it struggles to mediate between these imagined French attitudes and equally imagined American expectations, such that it titillates but does not shock.
