SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies
DESCRIPTION:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies\nA conference organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies and the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies \nDate: November 1\, 2018 \nTime: 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM \nLocation: 306 Royce Hall \nRSVP: https://french.ucla.edu/event/masshysteria-hysteria-politics-and-performance-strategies-conference/ \n\nIn Europe\, especially in Vienna and Paris\, around 1900\, the hysterical girl was a well-studied object in arts and sciences; she re-appeared\, a hundred years later\, in countless manifestations in US mainstream horror films. In addition\, key words describing women in protest as “hysterical”\, “nasty”\, “possessed”\, or “monstrous” dominate contemporary public discourse. The female hysteric in these current narratives references strikingly established representations of the hysteric as (public) performer that extend well beyond the European studies of the nineteenth century. For example\, although the medical term hysteria was struck from the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1994\, it simultaneously reappeared as Histrionic Personality Disorder (Latin: histrio\, actor/actress). This rebranding further underlines the point of this investigation: the female hysteric is diagnosed as performer. Given this reintroduction\, and the re-appearance of the hysteric in current discourses\, one may assume that the self-reflective media figure of the female hysteric will continue to gain ground in its cultural impact. The aim of this project is to show the ways in which a historical European phenomenon enjoys an active legacy in the United States one hundred years later and\, in turn\, resonates around the world. \nAlthough the history and evolution of the representation of hysteria have been extensively researched\, the study of how these discourses have been transferred to twenty-first-century US popular culture remains uncharted territory. This conference’s main focus is the way in which the hysteric is involved in and performs on the pressing intersection of hysteria\, cultural\, (horror) film and performance studies. \nFurthermore\, as a result of performance studies being a paradigm-driven field\, this conference (and the subsequent publication) will be divided into two sections: In the beginning\, we will follow the hysteric’s performance as object of inquiry\, which will enable us to put the current phenomenon in its (historical) context. Thereafter\, we will expand the scope and focus on performance studies as a primary analytical concept\, which will enable us to uncover the potentiality of agency in the hysteric’s performance. We welcome scholarship and practice-based research in relation to hysteria and performance from all disciplines and backgrounds. As this event is designed to bring together a diverse group of scholars and artists\, we value traditional paper submissions as well as encourage experimental forms of presentations\, such as (new) media-\, video-\, performance and performance-lecture. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nDepartment of French and Francophone Studies\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies\n\n

SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Trans*: Hystories\, Bodies and the Unbuilding of Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Jack Halberstam\nProfessor of English\, Comparative Literature and Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality at Columbia University.\nThis guest lecture is part of the UCLA event series #masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. \nDate: Monday\, November 5\, 2018 \nTime: 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm \nLocation: 10383 Bunche Hall \nFREE ADMISSION\nWhile transgender has mostly been discussed in the last decade in terms of making bodies and selves\, Jack Halberstam will discuss the work of unmaking that is performed by the appellation of trans*. With this shift in focus\, the wrong body\, an appellation used mostly for people who have felt themselves to be out of place\, out of time\, comes not to claim right but to dismantle the system that metes out rightness and wrongness. This talk will offer examples of protest performances drawn from the 1970’s to argue for anarchic trans* feminisms oriented towards unbuilding and unmaking worlds\, and will therefore\, re-contextualize the agency of restless\, transitive\, hysterical bodies of the present. \nThe talk will be followed by an open conversation with Jack Halberstam and moderated by Johanna Braun. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nDepartment of English\nDepartment of Germanic Languages\nDepartment of Theater\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies\nLGBTQ Studies Program

SUMMARY:Black Feminism and the Practice of Care
DESCRIPTION:A one-day symposium on black women’s care\, wellness\, and healing presented by the UC Consortium for Black Studies in California. This event explores the relationship between individual practices of care and care as an investment in communities (particularly those haunted by precarity and disposability)\, and reimagines care (and harm and depletion) as emerging not just from late capitalist phenomena like stress and work burn-out\, but also from racist institutions\, historical violence\, structural neglect\, and familial wounds. \nClosing Reception will be held from 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM\nKeynote Speakers:\n\nHonor Ford-Smith\, York University\nBeverly Hanson\, Sistren Theater Collective\n\nPanelists:\nJudith Casselberry (Bowdoin College)\, Stephanie Hicks (University of Michigan)\, Jessica Johnson (Johns Hopkins University)\, Courtney Marshall (Phillips Exeter Academy)\, Jessica Millward (UC Irvine)\, LaKisha Simmons (University of Michigan)\, Jasmine Syedullah (Vassar College)\, SA Smythe (UC Irvine)\, Terrion Williamson (University of Minnesota)\, Tiffany Willoughby-Herard (UC Irvine) \nModerators:\nErica Ball (Occidental College)\, Marne Campbell (Loyola Marymount University)\, Imani Johnson (UC Riverside) \nCo-Sponsored by:\n\nUCLA Division of Social Sciences\nUCLA Department of Gender Studies\nRalph J.

SUMMARY:#masshysteria. Hysteria\, Race\, and Masculinity
DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Sander L. Gilman\, Emory University\nThis guest lecture is part of the UCLA event series #masshysteria. Hysteria\, Politics\, and Performance Strategies organized by the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. \nDate: Friday\, November 16\, 2018 \nTime: 2:00 – 3:00 PM \nLocation: UCLA Bunche Hall 10383 \nFree admission. RSVP Here.\nSander L. Gilman has extensively researched and published on the intersection of Hysteria\, Race\, Sexuality and Gender. In this guest lecture Gilman will discuss his influential work and how the term hysteria has been useful until the present day to understand sexist and racist representations of people in protest. The term hysteria is still today very much associate with fin-de-siècle fantasies about ill\, hyperventilating women. Gilman addresses in his lecture\, however\, that the debates about hysteria at the close of the nineteenth century are rooted as much in stereotypes about race and mental illness as they are in the pseudo-scientific claims of its origin in the ‘wandering womb’. What race and hysteria come to mean\, moreover\, changes its valence when European concepts are re-read in the United States. Who is hysteretic and why they have become hysteric comes to be a medical puzzle with a surprising twist in the course of the twentieth century. \nThe talk will be followed by an open conversation with Sander L. Gilman and moderated by Johanna Braun. \nCo-sponsored by:\n\nCenter for the Study of Women\nCenter for European and Russian Studies\nDepartment of English\nDepartment of Germanic Languages\nDepartment of Theater\nLesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, and Transgender Studies\nCenter for Performance Studies

SUMMARY:Until and Unless\, Film Screening and Discussion with Dr. Soma Roy\, Sintu Bagui and Nitai Giri
DESCRIPTION:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNXjLvouD2A \nThis event will entail the screening of Until and Unless\, a short documentary film addressing the queer and trans rights movement in India. \nSet in West Bengal a year before the historic decision to repeal India’s anti-sodomy law Penal Code 377\, “Until and Unless”\, follows the story of four individuals and the impact of systemic oppression via India’s legislative system on their lives. The film features Sintu\, a transwoman community leader raised in the Sheoraphuli red-light district; Nitu\, a transwoman sex worker who lives a dual identity as a man named Nitai; Lovely\, a Koti person who lives a closeted life while working in an office environment\, and Pratap\, a trans teen still navigating her identity. Through juxtaposing their stories with interviews from lawyers and activists working to oppose these laws\, the film shows the lived consequences of state and social violence on community self-representations. \nThe documentary was shot a year ago before the recent landmark Supreme Court decision to repeal of the colonial law\, IPC 377\, thereby decriminalizing homosexuality. The event will also feature a Q&A session with the Bengali sex-worker and trans activist co-creators of the film. \nSpeakers:\nDr. Soma Roy\, Sintu Bagui and Nitai Giri from Anandam\, the organization for transgender sex workers in West Bengal\, India \nCo-sponsored by the UCLA Center for India and South Asia
