SUMMARY:VMCC Series: Yiman Wang
DESCRIPTION:In a lecture delivered by UC Santa Cruz Professor Yiman Wang\, this talk delves into Mao-era moving image culture that featured experimentation with public health\, horticulture\, and animal husbandry to unpack what cinematic experiments were developed\, how scientific experiments were conducted\, and in what ways they were intended to intertwine with the nation-wide experiment with rebuilding the new socialist human’s psyche and a new socio-political world. The talk also explores why such conjoined experiments often fell apart\, what one might gain by recentering the unruly human and more-than-human “raw material” that were experimented on\, and ultimately\, how the environmental turn in media studies could benefit from a study of socialist trifold cinematic-scientific-socio-political experimentations.\n—\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nYiman Wang (Ph.D.\, Graduate Program in Literature\, Duke University) is Professor and Chair of Film & Digital Media at University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is author of Remaking Chinese Cinema: Through the Prism of Shanghai\, Hong Kong and Hollywood (University of Hawaii Press 2013)\, and To Be an Actress: Labor and Performance in Anna May Wong’s Cross-Media World (University of California Press 2024).
