SUMMARY:Flow and Friction Symposium: Media Practices Across Global Asias
DESCRIPTION:“Media Practices Across Global Asias\,” a  graduate-student research cluster working across the History of Art and Visual Culture and Film and Digital Media departments\, hosts their first symposium titled “Flow and Friction.” The day-long symposium is comprised of four panels with presenters from UC Santa Cruz and universities further afield in the U.S. and abroad. Three of the panels are focused on papers\, while the fourth is focused on practice as research\, with a screening of three short video works followed by Q&A. Professor Lisa Nakamura will visit from the University of Michigan\, where she is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Cultures\, as keynote speaker for the event. Each of the symposium presentations takes up the notion of flow and friction in response to the research cluster’s open call inviting inquiries in media studies and audiovisual culture in the context of Global Asias. Global Asias offer an expansive model to consider the imaginary or symbolic Asia as a series of diasporic interpolations constituted by Asian\, non-Asian\, and indigenous peoples and cultures. It demonstrates that worlds are not singular\, much like media and its practices\, and are contingent upon the labor and bodies that engage and disengage with them.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Attend in person at the Cowell Conference Room at UC Santa Cruz.\n– FREE and open to Arts Division staff & faculty\, Arts Division students\, and their invited guests.\n– Registration recommended here.\n—\nPARKING\n– Closest lots to the event are Lots 107\, 108\, 109 and 110.\n– All lots require an A permit which can be purchased via UCSC TAPS.\n– ParkMobile can be found at Lot 107 and 109.\n– Additional parking can be found in Lot 111 or Lot 111B or East Remote Lot 104.\n– Visitors with DMV placards or plates may park for free in DMV spaces\, Medical spaces\, or ParkMobile spaces without additional payment\, or in timed zones for longer than the posted time.\n– More information provided by UCSC Transportation & Parking Services (TAPS)\n—\nThis program is open to all UC Santa Cruz affiliates consistent with state and federal law. \n
