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: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: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:Mariam's Tattoos: The Afterlives of a Humanitarian Photograph
DESCRIPTION:When: Wednesday\, November 15\, 2023\n10:00 am – 12:00 pm (Pacific Time) \nWhere: Virtual \nRSVP for the event.\nVirtual book talk by Professor Elyse Semerdjian\, Robert Aram and Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair of Armenian Genocide Studies at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. \nForemost among the images of the Armenian Genocide is the communal memory of tattooed Islamized Armenian women. Blue tribal tattoos that covered face and body signified assimilation into Muslim Bedouin and Kurdish households. Dr. Elyse Semerdjian will discuss her book Remnants wherein tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal the larger history of gender and genocide. 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:Oral Histories of Environmental Illness (OHEI) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Canary Knowledge: Chronic Fatigue\, Chemical Sensitivities and the Limits of Medicine\nPresented by the CSW|Streisand Center. \n\nRSVP to the symposium.\nView the program and schedule.\nView the accessibility copies.\n\nWhen: Friday\, November 17 – Saturday\, November 18\, 2023 \nWhere: Hershey Hall Salon (158)\, 612 Charles E.

This conference bridges the immediate before and after of Co-V2’s effects on this growing population of the chronically ill\, and often medically abandoned\, to ask how they—like the proverbial canaries in the coal mine—have defined and laid the groundwork for disability justice\, art\, and activism. \nThis event is part of a three-year multi-campus research grant at the University of California focusing on “Abolition Medicine and Disability Justice: Mapping Inequity and Renewing the Social Project.” \nFragrance-free: \nPlease avoid wearing scented products such as perfumes/colognes\, scented lotions\, clothing with strong detergent scents\, etc. while attending this event as they can trigger serious health issues for those with fragrance allergies.
