Abstract: The roundtable gathers specialists dedicated to thinking through the Afro-Gothic as a conceptual approach to black aesthetics and as a theoretical framework. In the spirit of camaraderie and intellectual curiosity, contributors consider meanings of the Afro-Gothic from various disciplines and diasporic perspectives. The participants discuss the ways in which horror, haunting, the uncanny, the monstrous, and the fantastic are manifest in black aesthetics and, in doing so, they conceptualize Afro-Gothic, indicate how its tenets manifest in each of their work, and indicate directions for future study.
