Description

This dissertation investigates four "sound travels," four performances in and of circulation that make visible and audible the "shadow texts" of diaspora and displacement that haunt the mythologies of the American open road: Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson's 1934 black-cast opera Four Saints in Three Acts, the song-collecting travels of documentarians John and Alan Lomax, contemporary "blues tourism" in the Mississippi Delta, and commemorations of the largely African American diaspora that followed Hurricane Katrina. My study is not a comprehensive account of musics of the black diaspora but rather an investigation of how black diaspora has been used as a performance trope that is represented and reinvented to stand in for other modes of travel. I pose a set of questions about migration, travel, and representation: Why and how do various artists employ the performance tropes of migration and diaspora? How do performances of black migration create and contest mythologies of the American open road? How are silenced and forgotten histories of internal migration articulated, spoken, sung, in contemporary performances of blues travel?
