SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering the Ambiguity: Identity\, Entertainment\, and Politics in Chinese Popular Music
DESCRIPTION:Chinese popular music displays increasingly high levels of queer visuality. But visual productions of queer romance and eroticism here do not necessarily produce a political presence of gender\, sexuality\, or the queer. On the contrary\, the interventions of government in production and communication and of families in consumption and recontextualization produce its absence. This paradox creates an ambiguous social space where sameness and difference\, art and eroticism\, performance and performativity\, hetero- and homonormativity\, entertainment and politics are woven into a sophisticated network in which queers can make their political statements and opportunists can capitalize on these for publicity and popularity. The pursuit of stardom also seduces queer musicians to compromise through the entertainmentization of identity. This allows them to break into the mainstream market—on Sing My Song or The Voice of China—where their queerness is rendered as desexualized “difference” for purposes of sentimental spectacle. The ambiguous policy of “No Support\, No Oppression\, No Advocacy” for queer social movements seems to symbolize official permission for queer liberation in China\, and a number of queer songs have been released\, such as “Rainbow” and “Girls Love Girls.” But the dual logics of avant-gardism and commercialism in queer representation control the structure of ambiguity and maintain a heteronormative politics and social order beneath a flamboyant queer visuality. (Image: Disco-TECA on stage)\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\nQian Wang earned his PhD in 2007 from the Institute of Popular Music in the University of Liverpool (UK) and was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University in China. His research focuses on Chinese popular music and its cultural scene in P.R. China. Looking at the redevelopment and transformation of Chinese popular music since the economic and political reform of 1979\, he analyzes its intertwined relationship with industrial progress and the stratification of Chinese society and writes on politics\, mass communication\, gender\, and sexuality. Currently\, he is a lecturer at Yibin University in China.\n\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Silent Babel: Cinematic Multilingualism Beyond the Soundtrack
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Lisa Patti (Hobart and William Smith Colleges) and Tijana Mamula (John Cabot University) advocate the opening of film studies to a broader appreciation of the ways in which linguistic difference has shaped\, and continues to shape\, the medium's history. While most studies of the subject have explored linguistic difference as a largely audible phenomenon – manifested through polyglot dialogues\, or through the translation of monolingual dialogues for international audiences – this talk explores some of its unheard histories\, thus contributing to a new field of enquiry based on an attentiveness to multilingualism's work beyond the soundtrack.\n\n*Patti and Mamula are the editors of the forthcoming anthology The Multilingual Screen: New Reflections on Cinema and Linguistic Difference (Bloomsbury\, Spring 2016).\n\n*With generous cosponsorship from: the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Sheldon Cohn Fund in the Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, the Department of Linguistics\, the Department of History\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of American Culture\, the Institute for the Humanities\, the Rackham Graduate School\, and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The non-obvious foundations of human thought
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Distinguished University Professor Susan A. Gelman\, followed by a reception.\n\nLecture Abstract:\nA hallmark of human cognition is the capacity to look beyond outward appearances to consider ideas that are non-obvious or abstract.  We see this from commonsense construals of experience (with ideas regarding germs\, ownership\, or fairness) to some of the most sophisticated concepts of our species (microscopic structure\, shape of the earth\, formal logic).  Where do such ideas come from\, and how do they develop?  Professor Gelman will review evidence that\, contrary to prevailing assumptions\, children's early thought is not wholly grounded in the tangible \"here-and-now\".  To the contrary\, young children readily consider hidden\, internal\, abstract entities in numerous domains of thought.  Gelman will discuss examples from categorization\, language\, and children's understanding of everyday experience. These findings have implications for the minds of children\, the social nature of cognition\, and the foundations of human thought.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Collaborative Feminist Scholarships and Activisms Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the varied histories of diverse feminist movements\, collaboration has been both charged with revolutionary potential and fraught with debilitating failure. In this roundtable\, we aim to delve deeply into this experience of collaboration: What makes collaborative projects so profoundly powerful\, yet so remarkably challenging? Is it possible to engage in a politics of collaboration that elides assimilation? How can we work together across boundaries of geographical location and social identity without obscuring the differences in experience and power that these borders produce?\n\n \n\nWe invite you to join us for this conversation with Amy Sara Carroll\, Amber DiPietra\, Katherine Gibson\, Petra Kuppers\, and Nadine Naber. Identifying as feminist scholars\, performance artists\, poets\, artist-activists (artivists)\, archivists\, educators\, bodyworkers\, and organizers\, and engaging in work in the fields of disability studies\, Arab-American studies\, Latin@ studies\, literary studies\, and economy and geography studies\, these presenters will lead us in sharing stories of collaboration\, discussing the value and influence of collaboration\, and strategizing about to how to engage in collaborative practices. \n\n\nSponsored by: Arab and Muslim American Studies and the Border Collective Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop
