In the previous decade, Janelle Monáe has developed into a global media personality who effortlessly unites speculative world-building with social and political activism. Across the intersecting album and film that together make up Dirty Computer, Monáe brings together the science-fictional themes that informed her previous work, resulting in a powerfully focused artistic and political statement. While the music on the album can be enjoyed as an accessible collection of pop tracks, the accompanying film, music videos, and media paratexts add layers of meaning that combine speculative world-building with anti-racist activism. This unique convergence of energies, ideas, and media platforms has made Dirty Computer a new classic of Afrofuturist science fiction. 410 0$aPalgrave Science Fiction and Fantasy: A New Canon,$x2662-8570 606 $aPopular music 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aCulture 606 $aMusic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aPopular Music 606 $aAfrican American Culture 606 $aContemporary Music 606 $aPopular Culture 615 0$aPopular music. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 14$aPopular Music. 615 24$aAfrican American Culture. 615 24$aContemporary Music. 615 24$aPopular Culture. 676 $a305.896073 676 $a782.42164092 700 $aHassler-Forest$b Dan$01075167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910520072303321 996 $aJanelle Monáe's Dirty Computer$92584175 997 $aUNINA
