4 | Anne Cong-Huyen | 5/4, Thursday, 1pm - 2 pm ET | Whitewashing Anime Adaptations: Ghost in the Shell and Dragonball Evolution | In David Oh’s presentation “Whitewashing Anime Remakes: Ghost in the Shell and Dragonball Evolution,” he makes a theoretical argument for “whitewashing” as an erasure of difference that centers and makes visible White subjectivity. Specifically, he argues that because of contemporary racial politics, Asian and Asian Americans are vulnerable to filmic erasure. He argues that whitewashing is among many strategies of White supremacy and that whitewashing operates by extending whiteness’s boundaries. For the talk, he focuses on his chapter on anime adaptations, including Dragonball Evolution and Ghost in the Shell to describe the ways Asianness is distorted and minimized in order to subjectify the White hero. | University of Michigan, National Center for Institutional Diversity | Zoom | https://lsa.umich.edu/ncid/news-events/all-events.detail.html/107695-21816376.html | ||
5 | Anne Cong-Huyen | 5/9, Tuesday, 2pm - 3:30 pm ET | Thinking Beyond Stereotypes in Asian American Media | Public discussions of Asian American media representation are often overdetermined by narratives of the racial injury of Hollywood stereotypes, or what Black feminist Patricia Hill Collins called “controlling images.” But how have Asian American communities, performers, artists, and thinkers challenged and refigured those controlling images for their own purposes? This panel brings together the authors of four new books in Asian American media and cultural studies to examine historical, ethnographic, feminist, transpacific, and queer of color approaches to this question. Beyond simply contributing to knowledge “about” Asian American subjects, each book shows us how Asian Americanist critique expands the possibilities of traditional disciplinary fields. | University of Michigan Library, National Center for Institutional Diversity | Zoom | https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_czl1l1l6TeKbRZEqxqjNwg#/registration | ||
