SUMMARY:The Tragedy of Heterosexuality in Global Context A lecture by Jane Ward Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Barbara
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 05\, 2023\, 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Lubar Entrepreneurship Center 107 \n\n\n\nIn The Tragedy of Heterosexuality\, Jane Ward critiques one of the basic premises of the mainstream LGBT rights movement—that heterosexuality is easier than queerness—by asking for whom\, and under what conditions\, is straightness easier. Drawing from ethnographic field work\, archival research\, and cultural studies methods\, Ward examines the 20th century emergence of a “heterosexual repair industry”—a self-help empire designed to romanticize and ease heterosexual misery while eliding attention to heteropatriarchy and the queer\, feminist interventions poised to undo it. \n\n\n\nDownload the event flyer here.

SUMMARY:Aragorn Quinn\, Technologies of Failure: Disembodied Performance in Transwar Japan
DESCRIPTION:The Global Studies Speaker Series is pleased to present \n“Technologies of Failure: Disembodied Performance in Transwar Japan”Aragorn Quinn (UWM\, Japanese)Friday\, March 312:00pmLubar Entrepreneurship Center 107Free and open to the public \nAbstract; Contemporary Japanese theater has challenged the conventional definition of performance as a co-present event between performers and audience. Through the use of technologies such as VR and motion capture\, recent performances have disrupted the primacy of co-presence in theater. This talk revisits performances from the mid-Showa Period (1925-1989) in Japan by influential figures in Modern Japanese theater including Senda Koreya\, Murayama Tomoyoshi\, and Terayama Shuji. Nearly a century ago\, these productions foreshadowed contemporary technological advancements and provide a historical context for our current moment’s techno-optimism. They utilized film\, radio\, and other technologies to create performances that wrestled with the mediating function of technology and the centrality of the body in performance. By examining these productions\, this talk proposes a way beyond the dichotomy of liveness and mediation\, leading to a deeper understanding of the relationship between technology and performance in contemporary theater. \nDownload the PDF flyer here. \n \n

SUMMARY:Cynthia Laborde\, "Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France"
DESCRIPTION:Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France \nCynthia Laborde\, Modern Languages at the University of Texas at ArlingtonPhD University of Iowa\, 2015; MA University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, 2010 \nFriday\, February 17\, 20232:00-3:30pmLubar Entrepreneurship Center\, Room 107 \nAbstract:\nIn her talk “Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France\,” Dr. Laborde will focus on the impact of women cartoonists/graphic novelists in France in the 21st century. She will trace how this new generation has been making their own rules and claiming their space in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Her analysis will focus on the socially and politically engaged aspects of their work\, concentrating especially on how they approach issues related to women. She will demonstrate that comics as a medium are able to articulate and disseminate feminist perspectives in new ways\, and that artists (such as Pénélope Bagieu and Emma\, among others) are having a real-life impact\, as the lines become more and more blurred between the individual and the artist via social media. \nHosted by the Department of Global Studies; co-sponsored by Digital Arts and Culture; the MA in Language\, Literature\, and Translation; the Center for 21st Century Studies; Women’s and Gender Studies; and the Women’s Resource Center. This event is partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI NRC Grant. \nThis event will be followed later in the day by the opening film of the 26th annual UWM Festival of Films in French\, February 17-26\, 2023. Please join us there as well! \nWhile at UWM\, Dr. Laborde will also present a French immersion workshop\, “Enseigner (avec) les bandes dessinées en français/Teaching (with) graphic novels and comic in French\,” on Saturday\, February 18\, 1:00-4:00 pm. Free; registration is required. For more information\, read about the event here.
