SUMMARY:Flow and Friction: Media Practices Across Global Asias
DESCRIPTION:Though flow and friction have their enmeshed problematic of combined colonial and imperial mechanisms\, we also believe that they can be useful concepts to think through the transnational and deimperial techniques that Global Asias can offer. 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. It is also the subject of concern for our research cluster and symposium.\nWe are thrilled to have Professor Lisa Nakamura join our symposium as the keynote speaker. She is the Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor in the Department of American Cultures at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and her seminal work Digitizing Race: Visual Cultures of the Internet received the Asian American Studies Association award in Cultural Studies in 2010. Her extensive research and publications on the intersections of digital media theory\, Asian American studies\, and race and gender demonstrates that media is both racial(ized) and racist.\n—\nADMISSION\n– FREE and open to Arts Division Staff & Faculty\, Arts Division Students\, and their Invited Guests\n—\nPARKING\n– Closest lots to the event are Lots 107\, 108\, 109 and 110.
