SUMMARY:Book Talk: Feng-Mei Heberer
DESCRIPTION:Where: Darren Star Theater (Melnitz 1422A) \nWhen: Wednesday\, February 14\, 2 pm-3:50 pm \nJoin CSW|Streisand Center and the School of Theater\, Film and Television for a book talk with author Feng-Mei Heberer\, discussing\, “Undoing Documentation as Racialized State Surveillance: the Moving Image Undocument.” \nThis talk examines visual documentation and the documentary form in their intimate connection with racialized state surveillance and border control in the United States. It discusses the ways that visual documents such as the photograph have been wielded on behalf of U.S. immigration policy to contain border crossings since the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882)\, and highlights the underexamined linkage between official documentation and historical processes of Asian racialization. \nAgainst this backdrop\, Herberer turns to the work of Miko Revereza\, a Philippine-born artist and self-ascribed “undocumented-documentary filmmaker”\, exploring how Revereza advances an aesthetic of the fugitive and ephemeral undocument that both attunes us to documentation’s violent history and mobilizes moving image practices beyond the demand to capture and report.

Young Drive East Los Angeles\, 90095 \nWhen: Wednesday\, February 7\, 7-8:30 pm PST \nRSVP\nInternationally acclaimed composer and harpist Anne LeBaron marks her illustrious tenure at CalArts with a retrospective concert at UCLA’s Lani Hall\, on Wednesday\, February 7\, at 7 PM. The program\, encapsulating four decades of pioneering music\, will be followed by an enlightening talkback and reception. \nThe evening unfolds around LeBaron’s lifelong passions\, weaving a tapestry of music with drama\, environmental advocacy\, sounds and stories from around the world\, the recognition of women’s achievements\, and the spirit of artistic collaboration.

SUMMARY:Reconsidering Music\, Technology\, and Gender: A Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by UCLA Center for Musical Humanities and Center for the Study of Women|Barbara Streisand Center. \nWhen: January 27\, 2024\nWhere: Lani Hall\, Schoenberg Music Building\, UCLA \nConference Description\nThe ways sounding technologies contribute to the articulation of musical lives and social selves has been a growing area of scholarly interest over the past several decades. Considerations of music technologies’ and tools’ material affordances\, attendant social practices\, cultural codings\, and political ecologies have been taken up by scholars in musicology\, gender studies\, media studies\, science and technology studies\, and beyond. Reconsidering Music\, Technology\, and Gender is a one-day symposium that seeks to revisit the many ways in which musicians and listeners utilize technology (through various plug-ins and softwares\, the internet\, hardwares\, instruments\, and platforms) to create\, challenge\, subvert\, and affirm.

Scholars and practitioners are invited to present in a variety of formats\, including but not limited to: conference-style papers\, panels\, musical performances\, and production demonstrations. \nCall for Papers: Submission Guidelines\nPlease submit an abstract (no more than 250 words) of your proposal using the google form linked below.\nPresentations will each be 15 minutes.

Whatever luck or misfortune the Player has dealt her\, she is\, in the moment of performance\, the primary subject of her own invention” Considering Spillers’s provocative claim\, Professor Salamishah Tillet will look at Civil Rights musician Nina Simone’s diary (and her friendship with the writer Lorraine Hansberry) and discuss the tensions and possibilities that arise as she writes about Simone’s inner life\, while also exploring Simone’s ongoing intellectual influence on American culture. \nRSVP here.\nAbout\nSalamishah Tillet is the Henry Rutgers Professor of Africana Studies and Creative Writing at Rutgers University\, Newark\, and the 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning contributing critic-at-large at The New York Times.

However\, she will focus her discussion on contextualizing a single 1919 humanitarian portrait of a young woman named Mariam Azarian. While collecting and accessioning process left the genocide victim’s name in oblivion\, Semerdjian will showcase her methodological approach to the subject of tattooed Armenian women and the possibilities for recovering information from a mutilated post-genocide archive. \nCosponsored by:\nThis event is organized by the Armenian Genocide Research Program of the Promise Armenian Institute at UCLA and co-sponsored by the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research\, the UCLA Center for the Study of Women\, the Ararat-Eskijian Museum\, and the UCLA Center for Near Eastern Studies.

SUMMARY:ELTS 3rd Annual Graduate Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:Where: Royce Hall 308 \nWhen: November 13-14\, 2023 \nJoin the Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies’ 3rd Annual Graduate Student Conference: “Speculative Futurities\, Past and Present.” \nRegister Here\nView the program (PDF). \nThe graduate students of the Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles are inviting submissions to the third annual ELTS Graduate Student Conference. Our keynote speakers will be Prof. Lydie Moudileno (University of Southern California) and Prof. David Bates (University of California\, Berkeley). \nAmir Eshel’s Futurity suggests that literary representations of the past are not only key to understanding our present\, but they also allow us to set the stage for the future\, to improve our understanding of its stakes. Our conference expands on this mode of thinking by reconsidering the ways in which time and space have been and are currently imagined in connection to the European continent and its transnational legacies. What does it mean to speculate on and envision “futurity\,” or the lack thereof? Who holds the keys to imagining\, conceptualizing\, and identifying the future\, and who is seen as even having one?

SUMMARY:Gendered Fortunes Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, November 9\, 2-4 pm  \nWhere: UCLA Rolfe Courtyard Scultpure Garden \nRSVP Here.\nAbout \nJoin us for a book talk featuring Professor Zeynep Korkman in discussion Professor Purnima Mankekar. \nIn Gendered Fortunes (Duke University Press)\, Zeynep K. Korkman examines Turkey’s commercial fortunetelling cafés where secular Muslim women and LGBTIQ individuals navigate the precarities of twenty-first-century life. Criminalized by long-standing secularist laws and disdained by contemporary Islamist government\, fortunetelling cafés proliferate in part because they offer shelter from the conservative secularist\, Islamist\, neoliberal\, and gender pressures of the public sphere. Korkman shows how fortunetelling is a form of affective labor through which its participants build intimate feminized publics in which they share and address their hopes and fears. Korkman uses feeling—which is how her interlocutors describe the divination process—as an analytic to view the shifting landscape of gendered vulnerability in Turkey. In so doing\, Korkman foregrounds “feeling” as a feminist lens to explore how those who are pushed to the margins feel their way through oppressive landscapes to create new futures. \nView flier (PDF)

SUMMARY:"Backlash: Misogyny in the Digital Age" Screening & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, November 2\, 2023\n7:00 p.m. Panel & Discussion\nReception to follow \nWhere: California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI)\nUCLA Campus \nRSVP to the event \n\nWarning: This video contains adult content and graphic language\, and is not suitable for children. \nUCLA Division of Social Sciences and UCLA School of Theatre\, Film and Television invite you to attend a special screening of Backlash: Misogyny in the Digital Age followed by a panel discussion featuring: \nGuylaine Maroist\nPresident\, Producer\, Screenwriter\, and Director\, La Ruelle Films \nKiah Morris\nFormer Vermont State Representative \nSarah Roberts\nFaculty Director\, UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry\nAssociate Professor\, UCLA Department of Gender Studies \nModerated by\nKristy Guevara-Flanagan\nProfessor of Documentary Film\, UCLA Department of Film\, Television and Digital Media \nWith a panel introduction by\nSafiya Noble\nInterim Director\, UCLA DataX Initiative\nFounder and Director\, UCLA Center on Race and Digital Justice \nFilm Synopsis: In fall 2017\, the MeToo hashtag shook the planet\, sparking an unprecedented wave of sexual assault accusations in the Western world. Today\, the storm of virulent misogyny is raging on\, flooding our screens with harassment\, defamation\, lynching\, sextortion\, the sharing of intimate photographs\, rape and death threats. According to the UN\, 73% of women are abused online. \nThis feature-length documentary follows four women and one man whose lives have been ransacked by online violence: Laura Boldrini\, the most harassed female politician in Italy; Kiah Morris\, an African-American politician in the state of Vermont who resigned following severe harassment and threats from rightwing extremists; Marion Séclin\, a French YouTuber who received more than 40\,000 sexist messages\, including rape and death threats; Laurence Gratton\, a young teacher in Quebec who was harassed for more than five years by a former colleague; and Glen Canning\, the father of Rehtaeh Parsons\, a young girl who took her own life after photos of her rape were spread online. \nWhat is it like to live with this so-called virtual violence? That’s what this opus aims to show by closely following the victims in their daily lives. As in a horror movie\, we witness in real time the waves of hate that assail them\, the fear that invades their private lives\, and the loss of their sense of security in public spaces. Their lives are marred by a loss of confidence\, and by shame. \nBacklash: Misogyny in the Digital Age also shows how each of these women\, and this man speaking in his late daughter’s name\, are waging the same battle. They share a common cause: refusing to be silenced. Their journeys intertwine. They demand widespread accountability from those who allow the propagation of such hatred\, whether it be the tech giants\, the state\, or the perpetrators themselves. Why this unrelenting and systematic discrimination against women? Can we leave the screen now and shift the age-old paradigm?

SUMMARY:Aribada Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:When: October 12\, 2023\, 6:30 PM\nWhere: UCLA James Bridges Theater \nIn the middle of the Colombian coffee region\, Aribada\, the resurrected monster\, meets Las Traviesas\, a group of indigenous trans women from the Emberá tribes. The magical\, the dreamlike and the performative coexist in their unique world – an aesthetic and spiritual universe in which documentary and fiction merge into a transcultural narrative. Enchanted by the beauty and power of their jais (spirits)\, Aribada decides to join Las Traviesas in creating their own trans*futurist community. \nNatalia Escobar is a Colombian interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker who explores themes of intersectional feminism\, Andean phenomenology\, identity\, and memory in her work. She earned a degree in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins College in London and creates moving images\, soundscapes\, and installations that immerse her audience in new and thought-provoking experiences. \nIn recent years\, Escobar has been collaborating with a community of trans Indigenous women from the Embera people called Las Traviesas. Together\, they are working on a project that aims to promote social transformation through artistic and design processes. Through creating spaces for free expression and the exchange of knowledge\, the project seeks to strengthen the community and empower its participants. \nLearn more.

SUMMARY:My Name is Andrea
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women|Streisand Center and Hammer Museum. \nMy Name is Andrea is a hybrid feature documentary about one of the most controversial figures of the 20th century.

The film features performances by Ashley Judd\, Soko\, Amandla Stenberg\, Andrea Riseborough\, and Christine Lahti\, woven in with rare\, electrifying archival footage of Dworkin. \nFollowed by a conversation with director Pratibha Parmar and Karen Tongsen\, Chair of USC’s Department of Gender & Sexuality Studies.\n2022\, dir: Pratibha Parmar\, DCP\, color\, 90 minutes \nView flyer. \nTicketing: Admission is free.
