- 요약"Are conversations pathways to the exchange of understandings?" asks poet Claudia Rankine in Just Us: An American Conversation (2020). Or, she wonders, "are conversations accommodations?" This Feeling Tone: The Sound of Black and Jewish Collaboration 1981- 2006, explores these questions by returning to a crucial nexus within American social and cultural history-Black and Jewish-American dialogue-and asking what we gain from actively listening to the voices at play in it.This Feeling Tone offers fresh interpretations of six key 20th-century American artists by listening closely to recorded conversations as well as their collaborative poetic and dramatic artworks. I pair them as follows: Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich; Anna Deavere Smith and Studs Terkel; and George C. Wolfe and Tony Kushner. By employing interdisciplinary methods-prose description, melodic transcription, and close listening-I explore how sound is inscribed by complex and often unequal power relations. My approach-which crosses disciplines, fields, methodologies, and archives-aims to make such relations more perceptible.There's a common historical narrative about "Black-Jewish relations" in the twentieth century, one that suggests that these two identity groups emerged from World War II in a common civil rights coalition but then ended the century at odds. This Feeling Tone challenges this abstract narrative of declining relations with a material history of relationships between six artists/activists. I argue that Lorde and Rich forged a feminist counterpublic by negotiating the dynamics of race, gender, and sexuality during public performances of lyric poems. I suggest that Smith invented "headphone theater" by revising Studs Terkel's tape-recording technique for the stage. And I contend that, together, Tony Kushner and George C. Wolfe inflected Bertolt Brecht and Zora Neale Hurston's rhythmic aesthetics to redefine the "sung-through" musical for the postmodern era. By studying how these artists labored to confront ethnic, racialized, and gendered histories of sound, This Feeling Tone uncovers a radical and perilous history of collaboration - not as democratic safeguard but as embodied social practice.This Feeling Tone thus offers a more nuanced answer to Rankine's question: conversation is both a "pathway"-a means to move across a stage, a way of working through difficulty-and also an "accommodation": a room, a place, or a space where embodied voices haunt the walls of the house of difference.
