Abstract The article describes the multiple discursive and actual connections between ideas of a ‘Black Aesthetic’ in both the South African and the US-American contexts during the mid twentieth century. It is centred on knowledge produced between 1965 and 1985, when the Black Power/Black Arts and Black Consciousness movements gained prominence among urban intellectuals. Specific debates and argumentations that focused on black and African aesthetics and the respective groups of actors involved are depicted. The article follows the development of the discussions to the early 1990s, to conclude on actual similarities and differences and the factors that arguably produce them. Throughout, the study follows an actor-centred approach and ultimately counters the broad narrative of a ‘United States–South Africa’ connection that is circulating in academic and public spheres and questions more generally the focus on geographical locations to understand Black and African ideologies and their entanglements. By doing this, the article wants to contribute to the question how we can approach engaged or radical views of black and African aesthetics comparatively and the presence of those legacies today.

摘要 本文描述了 20 世纪中叶南非和美国背景下的“黑人美学”思想之间的多重话语和实际联系。它以 1965 年至 1985 年间产生的知识为中心,当时黑人权力/黑人艺术和黑人意识运动在城市知识分子中获得突出地位。描绘了专注于黑人和非洲美学的具体辩论和争论以及所涉及的各个演员群体。这篇文章跟踪了 1990 年代初期讨论的发展,总结了实际的异同点以及可以说是产生它们的因素。始终,该研究遵循以行动者为中心的方法,最终反驳了在学术和公共领域流传的“美国-南非”联系的广泛叙述,以及更普遍的问题 关注地理位置以了解黑人和非洲的意识形态及其纠葛. 通过这样做,本文想为我们如何能够比较地处理黑人和非洲美学的参与或激进的观点以及这些遗产在今天的存在这一问题做出贡献。
