SUMMARY:Blacklisted Jews Like Us:  Gerda & Carl Lerner - Intersectionality\, Experience as Deviants\, and the Film "Black Like Me"
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Visiting FMST Scholar Vera Kallenberg \nVera will discuss her research on the life of Gerda Lerner (1920-2013)\, a pioneer of women’s history who co-wrote the 1964 film Black Like Me with husband and film director Carl Lerner. The film is based on the highly controversial book by John Howard Griffin\, a white writer who in 1959 darkened his skin and traveled through the Jim Crow-era “deep South” to expose the everyday realities of racism. The film reflects the Lerners’ experience as participants in the civil rights movement and their own experiences of repression as communists in Cold War America and Gerda’s persecution as a Jew in Nazi Europe \nLunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:David Eng: Racial Melancholia\, Racial Dissociation - On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans
DESCRIPTION:Please join David L. Eng for a discussion of his new book\, Racial Melancholia\, Racial Dissociation: On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans (Duke University Press\, 2019)\, co-authored with Shinhee Han. The book draws on case histories from the mid-1990s to the present to explore the social and psychic predicaments of Asian American young adults from Generation X to Generation Y. Combining critical race theory with several strands of psychoanalytic thought and clinical practice\, Eng and Han develop the concepts of racial melancholia and racial dissociation to investigate changing processes of loss associated with immigration\, displacement\, diaspora\, and assimilation. These case studies of first- and second-generation Asian Americans deal with a range of difficulties\, from depression\, suicide\, and the politics of coming out to broader issues of the model minority stereotype\, transnational adoption\, parachute children\, colorblind discourses in the United States\, and the rise of Asia under globalization. Throughout\, Eng and Han link psychoanalysis to larger structural and historical phenomena\, illuminating how the study of psychic processes of individuals can inform investigations of race\, sexuality\, and immigration while creating a more sustained conversation about the social lives of Asian Americans and Asians in the diaspora. \nDavid L. Eng is Richard L. Fisher Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also Professor in the Program in Asian American Studies\, the Program in Comparative Literature & Literary Theory\, and the Program in Gender\, Sexuality & Women’s Studies. After receiving his B.A. in English from Columbia University and his Ph.D. in comparative literature from the University of California at Berkeley\, he taught at Columbia and Rutgers before joining Penn in 2007. Eng has held visiting professorships at the University of Bergen (Norway)\, King’s College London\, Harvard University\, and the University of Hong Kong. He is the recipient of research fellowships from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies\, and the Mellon Foundation\, among others. In 2016\, Eng was elected an honorary member of the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR) in New York City. His areas of specialization include American literature\, Asian American studies\, Asian diaspora\, critical race theory\, psychoanalysis\, queer studies\, gender studies\, and visual culture. \nEng is author with Shinhee Han of Racial Melancholia\, Racial Dissociation: On the Social and Psychic Lives of Asian Americans (Duke\, 2019)\, The Feeling of Kinship: Queer Liberalism and the Racialization of Intimacy (Duke\, 2010)\, and Racial Castration: Managing Masculinity in Asian America (Duke\, 2001). He is co-editor with David Kazanjian of Loss: The Politics of Mourning (California\, 2003) and with Alice Y. Hom of Q & A: Queer in Asian America (Temple\, 1998\, winner of a Lambda Literary Award and Association of Asian American Studies Book Award). In addition\, he is co-editor of two special issues of the journal Social Text: with Teemu Ruskola and Shuang Shen\, “China and the Human”  (2011/2012)\, and with Jack Halberstam and José Esteban Muñoz\, “What’s Queer about Queer Studies Now?” (2005). \nCurrently\, he is co-editing with Jasbir Puar a third special issue of Social Text\, “Left of Queer” as well as completing a monograph\, “Reparations and the Human\,” which investigates the relationship between political and psychic genealogies of reparation in Cold War Asia. \nCo-sponsored by the Center for Cultural Studies\, Literature\, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies\, History of Consciousness\, and Feminist Studies departments.

SUMMARY:Cultural Studies Colloquium: Sara Mameni
DESCRIPTION:Sara Mameni “On the Terracene” \nThis talk considers the Anthropocene from the perspective of artists working within areas devastated by the War on Terror. While the popularization of the concept of the Anthropocene dates to the early 2000s–the very moment of the declaration of the War on Terror–the two modes of imagining the geopolitics of the present have yet to be considered together. Mameni coins the term “Terracene” as an entry point into considering the condition of the planet under terror. \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nSara Mameni is the director of Aesthetics and Politics program and faculty in the school of Critical Studies at California Institute of the Arts. She received her PhD in Art History from University of California San Diego in 2015 and was a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz in 2016/2017. Her specialization is contemporary art in the Arab/Muslim world with a focus on queer of color theory. Her current research explores biopolitics\, racial discourse in the Anthropocene\, post-humanist aesthetics and the geo-ecological age of petroleum. \nFree and open to the public. \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. The sessions consist of a 40-45 minute presentation followed by discussion. We gather at noon\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. Participants are encouraged to bring their own lunches; the Center provides coffee\, tea\, and cookies. \nAll Center for Cultural Studies events are free and open to the public. Staff assistance is provided by the Humanities Institute.

SUMMARY:Imagining Otherwise: Resisting and Queering Racial and Gender Violence
DESCRIPTION:A Philosophy and MAP (Minorities and Philosophy) sponsored Colloquium. Co-sponsored by the Center for Public Philosophy and the Humanities Institute \nThis talk will explore how gender violence intersects with racist and transphobic violence and how those intersections are erased or distorted in public discourse. Professor Medina will examine the communicative dysfunctions that exist around gender and racial violence and how sexist\, transphobic\, and racist imaginaries create vulnerabilities that remain unaddressed. He will discuss how we can exercise the imagination in resistant ways and how we can resist those communicative dysfunctions and oppressive imaginaries by imagining otherwise. He  will discuss some specific cases of gender and racial violence and the ways in which they were distorted in the media coverage\, showing how critically engaged publics can resist those distortions and the forms of activism that we can engage in to fight gender and racial violence. \nProfessor José Medina is theWalter Dill Scott Professor of Philosophy at Northwestern University
