🚨ACADEMIC LEGACY: Duke University Press (@DukePress) will publish “Good Vibes Only: Phenomenology and the Biopolitics of Algorithmic Legitimation” by scholar Robin James on November 17, 2026.
The forthcoming book examines Beyoncé’s artistic practices alongside Grace Jones, exploring how Black women musicians challenge traditional ideas about creative ownership, musical influence and cultural inheritance.
In Chapter 4, “Sonic Lineages and Sonic Stewardship,” James situates Beyoncé within broader scholarship on Black feminist aesthetics, intellectual property and the ways musical traditions are preserved, transformed and reimagined.
The research connects popular music to larger philosophical questions about technology, capitalism and cultural power, extending Beyoncé’s scholarly relevance well beyond traditional music studies.
