SUMMARY:Friday Forum for Graduate Research: Yuki Obayashi
DESCRIPTION:“This is Your Life”: Hiroshima Maidens and the American ideological superiority in the midst of the Cold War \nIn 1955\, twenty-five female victims of the atomic bombing flown to the United States and received extensive plastic surgery to correct severe deformity from keloids. Initiated by the American journalist Norman Cousins and the Japanese minister Tanimoto Kiyoshi\, this project was supported on multiple fronts in the United States. This paper analyzed the American capitalistic mode of generosity from the TV program\, “This is Your Life” aired on May 11\, 1955\, which featured the Japanese minister Tanimoto\, who recently arrived in the United States with Hiroshima Maidens. The TV program and its host successfully collected $56\,000 in donations by asking its viewers to show their “American way”. This American way generosity demonstrated multiple problematic viewpoints in the ways of how the Americans constructed their superiority through the victims’ radicalized and gendered bodies. \nFriday Forum Spring quarter 2017 Schedule: \nFridays 12:30-2pm\nHumanities 1 Room 202 \nA weekly interdisciplinary colloquium series for sharing graduate research across the humanities.

SUMMARY:Critical Race & Ethnic Studies Works In Progress
DESCRIPTION:“Delinquency As Labor”\nChrissy Anderson-Zavala \nChrissy Anderson-Zavala is a PhD candidate in education with designated emphases in critical race and ethnic studies and feminist studies at UC Santa Cruz. Her dissertation\, How to Write ‘Trouble/d Youth\,’ bridges participatory ethnographic work in a continuation high school and reading practices that “track the figure” of “trouble/d youth” in district and state-level archives to explore how narratives of young people as “trouble” (threat) or “troubled” (at-risk) inform the limits and possibilities of schooling. \n  \n  \n“BioRobotics: Surveillance at the Borders of AnimalHumanInsect”\nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer \nFelicity Amaya Schaeffer is an Associate Professor in the Feminist Studies Department here at UCSC. Her book\, Love and Empire: Cybermarriage and Citizenship Across the Americas\, was published in 2013 with NYU Press. She is working on a new project called “Tracking Migrants: Biosecurity Across Erotic Borders” that follows the de-humanization of Latina/o migrants branded as biothreats\, or deviant and criminal threats. In this project I follow the ways state surveillance remakes relations between technology-the-body-and nature\, and then decolonizes these state regimes through an Anzalduan approach to what I call an erotic cosmology: using the body as a technology to hone our senses deeper into the sensual relationality of human-animal-cosmic ontologies.
