Beyond a Boundary: Christian Campbell and Claire Tancons on Black Movement
A conversation with Christian Campbell and Claire Tancons at the American Library in Paris. Filmed on 27/06/2024 with a live audience both in person and on Zoom.
American Library in Paris Visiting Fellow Christian Campbell is an acclaimed poet and author of poetry collection Running the Dusk. While completing his Visiting Fellowship at the Library, Campbell is working on several projects, including work-in-progress on the late Sidney Poitier, the first Black actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor.
On June 27, Campbell appeared in conversation with Paris-based curator and scholar Claire Tancons, who was the artistic director of Nuit Blanche 2024. Using the concept of Trinidadian intellectual C.L.R. James’s memoir Beyond a Boundary as a point of departure, they consider the poetics and politics of movement in the Black Diaspora through language, gesture, and migration.
About the speakers:
Christian Campbell is the author of the acclaimed poetry collection Running the Dusk (2010), which won the UK’s Aldeburgh Prize, among other awards. Campbell studied at Balliol College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and his work has been featured and reviewed in the New York Times, the Guardian, Small Axe, the Financial Times and elsewhere. He has received awards and fellowships from the Lannan Foundation, Arvon Foundation, Ford Foundation, Fine Arts Work Center, Bread Loaf Writers Conference, and elsewhere, and delivered the annual Derek Walcott Lecture for the Nobel Laureate Festival in St. Lucia. Also a critic, he has written extensively about Jean-Michel Basquiat for major exhibits on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Guggenheim Bilbao and the Barbican Centre, and recently edited a collection of Derek Walcott’s essays. He won the Art Writing Award from the Ontario Association of Art Galleries for his work on Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Claire Tancons is a curator and scholar invested in discursive and curatorial investigations of the postcolonial, including the exhibition and book “En Mas’: Carnival and Performance Art of the Caribbean” (with Krista Thompson, 2015). A graduate in art history and museum studies from the École du Louvre and The Courtauld Institute of Art and a former fellow of the Curatorial Studies program of the Whitney Independent Study Program, Tancons is the recipient of many grants and awards, including from the Warhol, Creative Capital, Emily Hall Tremaine, and Ford Foundations. Born in Guadeloupe, Tancons is currently based in Paris, where she is at work on “Van Lévé: Sovereign Visions from the Creole and Maroon Americas and Amazonia”, a transhistorical project centered on the relationship between artistic emergence and political sovereignty in the French Caribbean. She was the artistic director of Nuit Blanche 2024 and is the founder of EXTEMPORA, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to the practice of diaspora.
The Visiting Fellowship is supported by The de Groot Foundation.

    Fantastic! I was also a part of a Society of the Birds in my own right and we were and are indeed a little skittish when you stare at us directly. I'm off to grab as many copies of this as I can afford to distribute to the group. Our current concerns are that of survival in the barest sense as we are all atomized by Capital. I was delighted by the fracking analogy put forth here. It is exactly what has been on our collective minds. We are also wrestling on how to maneuver in what might become a post labor economy into the attention economy without contributing to the Attention problem ourselves. This book should be an excellent meditation. Cheers!

    Having been interested in Saint Domingue and Haiti for several years, I just recenltly read Jeremy Popkin's book that collects several eye-witness accounts of what happened during the slave insurrection in France's wealthiest colony Saint Domingue (now called the Haitian Revolution). I listened to another presentation and what was very interesting was the content that Mr. Popkin shared, but also in the hostile reaction of the largley black audience, who are obviously miffed and made uncomfortable by the facts that Popkin explains (in good faith). Yes, Popkin is a typical leftist academic, who walks on eggeshells around blacks and other non-whites regarding these prickly subjects, but when the black audience members, who upon realizing that they have no serious justification for their viewpoints, fall back on the old "oral tradition" bit (which cannot be verified and holds no academic nor legal weight), it shows that they are bankrupt intellectually and cannot justify their anger and general anti white attitude. Yes, slavery was bad, yes whites were the first to abolish it, yes, the French were better than the English and Spanish regarding Amerindians and blacks, yes the salves massacred all of the Fench (meaning the white inhabitants of Saint Domingue), yes the gens de couleur libres were largely responsible for this (at the source, with the French Revolution in the background, because they, as mixed race, were probably completely rootless and were were quite upset about their "inbetween" status, caught between two worlds). I would say to black audiences to calm down, take a good long hard look at themselves in the mirror and try to be more balanced and less hysterical/hostile when coming to an academic conference with historians who actually have documentation to back up what they say and are not just making up stories that "oral tradition" told them.

    I thought the Cure for Insomnia would be copy MP and sleep by day and work and the rest by night. It worked well for him. However as a life long asthma sufferer I can say Proust does nothing to help. And psychosomatic is a quack diagnosis or an unsympathetic relation. I better exit and check out the Not the Andrew Marr Show.
