Black Parade: Conceptualizing Black Adolescent Girls’ Multimodal Renderings as Parades

Abstract: This piece builds on scholarship in African American parading and Black Girls’ Literacies by presenting parading as a metaphor to analyze a website created by nine Black adolescent girls. I draw on multimodal analysis frameworks to understand the symbolic nature of the site and its components, as well as how the girls use it as a platform to speak to issues of racism, sexism, self-definition, joy, and celebration. The girls write against liminal perceptions of their identities, (re)positioning themselves and t… Show more

“…In the second layer of analysis, I took a more refined critical multimodal approach (Campano et al, 2020) to analyze each project to answer my research questions. I analyzed the perceptual elements of each text (Serafini, 2014) to understand the visual pieces and design elements of each project as well as the ideo‐structural elements (Griffin, 2021; Turner & Griffin, 2020), which attend to the potential meanings and themes of the products shaped by the sociopolitical lived realities of Latinx youth, especially as stated and theorized by the youth at Comunidad Miravalle. Figure 1 features an example of this second layer of analysis, focused on one image located on Jade and Eloisa’s composite testimonio slide.…”

“…Challenging the notion that young people are non‐writers stems from restrictive views held by educators regarding writing in schools, often tied to high‐stakes standardized tests (Applebee & Langer, 2006). Yet, online, young people counter this deficit narrative by shaping their own narratives around writing, and multimodal composition and literacies (Griffin, 2022; Kovalik & Curwood, 2019; Muhammad & Womack, 2015) in the interconnected digital world of the 21st century.…”

“…Enslavement’s fundamental goal of dehumanization meant these literacy development, community building, and conscientization efforts signified a form of bottom-up HRD in which members of a racially subordinated group worked collaboratively to share valuable skills, resist mis-development, and foster joyful, loving relationships essential to both community and individual survival (Camp, 2005; Griffin, 2021; Williams, 2012).
