SUMMARY:Ranjani Mazumdar\, "Technological Networks and Obsolescence in Contemporary Bombay Cinema"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Ranjani Mazumdar \nProfessor\, School of Arts and Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Dehli\, India \nOrganized by the UCLA Center for India and South Asia \nThis paper looks at the role of media and communication technologies in the sensorial imagination of urban spaces in contemporary Bombay cinema. If surveillance practices and their resultant structuring becomes one part of this imagination (No Smoking 2007\, LSD 2010\, Ugly\, 2013)\, we also see the role of the Internet and social media in the framing of spatial encounters in small town India (Masaan 2015). A fascination for ‘obsolete’ technology frames another order of space linked to the recent past (Gangs of Wasseypur 2012\, Miss Lovely 2012\, Dum Lagake Haisha\, 2015)\, while documentary films like John and Jayne (2005) invoke the call centre imagination within a fractured urban subjectivity. Through a framing of the spatial terrain triggered by new media technologies\, the films offer a new geography of the experiential changes unravelling in contemporary India. \n Ranjani Mazumdar is Professor of Cinema Studies at the School of Arts & Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Her publications focus on urban cultures\, popular cinema\, gender and the cinematic city. She is the author of Bombay Cinema: An Archive of the City (2007) and co-author with Nitin Govil of the forthcoming The Indian Film Industry. She has also worked as a documentary filmmaker and her productions include Delhi Diary 2001 and The Power of the Image (Co-Directed). Her current research focuses on globalization and film culture\, the visual culture of film posters and the intersection of technology\, travel\, design and colour in 1960s Bombay Cinema. \n

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Dolores
DESCRIPTION:A special screening of Dolores\, the new documentary film about activist Dolores Huerta. \nHistory tells us Cesar Chavez transformed the U.S. labor movement by leading the first farm workers’ union. But missing from this narrative is his equally influential co-founder\, Dolores Huerta\, who fought tirelessly alongside Chavez for racial and labor justice and became one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century. \nLike so many powerful women advocates\, Dolores and her sweeping reforms were – and still are – sidelined and diminished. Even as she empowered a generation of immigrants to stand up for their rights\, her relentless work ethic was constantly under attack. False accusations from foes and friends alike\, of child neglect and immoral behavior—she married three times and raised 11 children – pushed Dolores out of the very union she helped create. \nPeter Bratt’s provocative and energizing documentary challenges an incomplete history. Through beautifully woven archival footage and interviews from contemporaries and from Dolores herself\, now an octogenarian\, the film sets the record straight on one of the most effective and undervalued civil and labor rights leaders in modern U.S. history. \nView the trailer: \n\nOrganized by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \n

SUMMARY:Josh Lambert\, "New Media Jews: Transparent\, Podcasting\, and the Place of Jews in 21st-Century American Culture"
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Josh Lambert (Yiddish Book Center/University of Massachusetts\, Amherst) \nNaftulin Family Lecture on Studies in Jewish Identity \nHow can we explain the prominence of Jews and Jewishness in 21st-century American media? At a moment when companies like Amazon and Netflix were making billion-dollar gambits to reach massive audiences with their own original content\, it turned out to be Jill Soloway’s Transparent\, that proved that a website could beat out the cable and broadcast television networks at the Golden Globes and Emmys. This lecture proposes that we consider the current wave of Jewish culture as resulting from two key developments: the increasing institutionalization of Jewish culture in America since the late 20th-century\, and the affinity between streaming media technology and demographic minorities. \nModerator: Lia Brozgal (UCLA) \n  \nWhile this event is free and open to Leve Center members\, pre-registration is required. \nE-mail cjsrsvp@humnet.ucla.edu or call 310-267-5327 to register.
