1. Corporealities (UN)limited, Edgy Meditations on Ghost Dancing, War Writing
A talk by Prof. Marta Elena Savigliano, Prof. Emerita UCLA World Arts and Cultures Dept. and
UC Riverside Dept. of Dance; Co-Founder of Global South Advanced Studies, Buenos Aires Marta Elena Savigliano is a feminist political theorist and anthropologist, a librettist, and occasionally a performer interested in politics of culture, multi-art and international collaboration, and performance in neoliberal globalism. Exoticism and cultural (mis)translations conceptually guide her research on
dances and dancers’ migrations. Artists and scholars’ active participation in reproducing or challenging colonial world orders is consistently discussed in her work. She is author of Tango and the Political Economy of Passion (Westview 1995), and Angora Matta: Fatal Acts of North South Translation (Wesleyan UP 2003), including a tango opera. Savigliano’s current research focuses on staged and screened Global South responses to World Dance, in particular self-parodic versions of ‘traditional’ dance forms associated with racialized, exotic representations of ‘other’ cultural nationalisms and their contentious powers in global capitalism.
2. Speculative Fabulations: Beneath Yaba's Garden
Join us for lunch and a discussion by UK based, Black speculative writer, curator and pleasure activist Ama Josephine Budge on the speculative fabulation on queer archives and Intimate Ecologies in Ghana. Junuada Petrus, Dakota land born filmmaker, queer artmaker, and author of The Stars and the Blackness Between Them will give a full creative response.
I have dreamed of this forest burned to the ground and of strange tall buildings like skinny, branchless trees, with spider threads of connection which flash like lightening sparks of fire.
This is a memory; a methodology; a story; a fabulation; a truth; an imagining; a prediction. I am working to articulate a theorisation of “Intimate Ecologies” - a form of relation acknowledging stewardship, co-dependency and an intimately intertwined mode of ‘becoming with’ the non-human which makes for sustainable and infinitely diverse possible Black futures as opposed to the singular, final, genocidal one currently carved out as the only climate changed future for Sub-Saharan Africa. Such an alternative ontological understanding might number a front-line for multispecies justice not only the mothers, elderly or choiceless that sit or stand or lie in front of tractors and tanks and fracking colonies: the few against the many, but rather a human front line interspersed and connected to the non-human frontline that is mutating insects, tidal waves, deviant seeds and hurricanes. Through such a fabulation might we commune with our queer ancestors in order to heal the present, in order to make possible our futures.

3. Violence against Women: How Colonial Korean Literature Imagined Racial and Class Equality
Event 1.
IAS Thursdays
Thursday, Nov 21.
3:30 – 5:00 pm
Crosby Seminar Room, 240 Northrop
"Violence against Women: How Colonial Korean Literature Imagined Racial and Class Equality"
As colonial Korea transitioned to capitalism, intellectuals embraced the idea of gender equality as well as equality among economic classes and ethnicities (Koreans, Japanese and Westerners). On the one hand, colonial intellectuals promoted women’s education and kinship system reforms. On the other, canonical works of Korean literature from the early 20th century remasculinized colonized men through portrayals of violence against women. How did colonial literature reconcile the modern imperative of equality with the new inequalities that capitalism produced? Jin-kyung Lee, Associate Professor of Korean and Comparative Literature at UC San Diego, will argue that literary representations of violence against women were deployed as a strategy of imagining racial and class equality.

This Year's Theme: Bodily Sovereignty and Collective Action
The Cultural Studies Association (CSA) invites proposals for participation in its eighteenth annual meeting. Proposals on all topics relevant to cultural studies will be considered, with priority given to proposals that engage this year's theme of Bodily Sovereignty and Collective Action. Membership of the CSA is not required to submit a proposal for this year’s conference, but membership is required in order to present at the conference.
The notion of sovereignty is up for serious epistemological debate. We encourage proposals that investigate and consider how the framework of sovereignty informs the re-mappings, re-zonings, and regressions of the current conjuncture, and how ideas of sovereignty inform cultural productions and resistance to these changes. At the same time, we invite critical perspectives on sovereignty’s appropriations and strategic deployments in contemporary and historical contexts. We take inspiration, in particular, from the conference’s location in the city of Chicago, which has a long history of resistance to violence and has been a key site in the fight for bodily sovereignty, whether in the significance of the Haymarket riot in the struggle for global labor rights, the legendary Jane Collective’s work restoring women’s bodily sovereignty before Roe v. Wade, the ongoing collective resistance to police brutality, and the still countercultural notion that Black Lives Matter. We encourage proposals that draw on these legacies and illuminate paths in which they prefigure sovereign futures.
Furthermore, we welcome proposals that consider who can lay claim to sovereignty, as well as the formations of power, knowledge, and capital that circumscribe such claims. Proposals might, for example, question which bodies--human and non-human--“count” as sovereign, and at which historical, political, socio-ecological, and cultural points. We invite theoretical interventions that situate these emergent questions around self-determination with respect to critiques of (racial) capitalism, biopolitics, hetero-patriarchy, and white supremacy. https://easychair.org/my/
