SUMMARY:Zeynep Korkman\, Gendered Fortunes: Feelings\, Labors\, and Publics of Divination in Turkey
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Gender Working Group is pleased to present ~Zeynep Korkman~Assistant ProfessorDepartment of Gender StudiesUCLA “Gendered Fortunes: Feelings\, Labors\, and Publics of Divination in Turkey” Tuesday\, April 18th\, 20173:00pm-4:30pm in Haines 279 The Irene Flecknoe Ross Lecture Series is made possible by a gift from Ray Ross in memory of his wife. Gender and sexual minorities seek their fortunes in divination as neoliberalization renders their economic futures ever more precarious and as neoconservative gender politics renders their intimate fortunes ever more bleak in millennial Turkey. Drawing upon media\, archival\, and ethnographic research on the flourishing economy of commercial fortunetelling\, I analyze how and why women and LBGTIQ individuals earn a livelihood from and explore their gendered fates through divination. I demonstrate that fortunetellers are channeled through heteropatriarchal gender norms and limited employment chances into an informal divination economy\, where they are criminalized by a secularist ban against fortunetelling and stigmatized by an Islamist condemnation of unorthodox religious practices. I conclude that fortunetellers foster public spaces for the articulation of otherwise marginalized feelings of their women and LGBTIQ clients\, ironically\, at the expense of the devaluation of the labors of these same underprivileged groups.

SUMMARY:Ju Hui Judy Han\, Queering Geopolitics: The Unruly Spaces of Homophobia in South Korea
DESCRIPTION:Queering Geopolitics: The Unruly Spaces of Homophobia in South KoreaJu Hui Judy HanAssistant Professor\, Department of Geography and PlanningUniversity of Toronto Monday\, March 13thCharles E. Young Research Library\, Presentation Room3:00pm-4:30pm   Whether referred to as “LGBTI” in coalitional terms of identity politics or as “sexual minority” to emphasize relations of power and marginalization\, queer formations in contemporary South Korea urge expression of non-normative gender and sexual identity and recognition of dissident political subjectivity. They have challenged masculinist labour movements and heteronormative women’s movements\, troubled militarism and ableism\, and across the broad social movement landscape queer politics have become more legible. Taking place at the same time\, however\, is the emergence of intensified bigotry in the political sphere and the persistence of institutional heteropatriarchy\, most prominently represented by the conservative Protestant-led homophobia mobilized in the name of national security and the Cold War geopolitical order. Drawing from previous and ongoing research on the cultural politics of religion\, difference\, and mobilities\, this talk examines the contested spaces of queer dissent and minority politics in the context of mass mobilizations and political upheavals underway.

SUMMARY:Juliann Anesi\, Reframing Tautua: Disabled Women\, Service\, and Education in Samoa
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Gender Studies presents Juliann AnesiUC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow\, UC Berkeley\, Gender and Women’s Studies Department Reframing Tautua: Disabled Women\, Service\, and Education in Samoa Monday\, March 6th2:30-4:00pm2125 Rolfe Hall In the 1970s\, allies\, educators\, parents and women with disabilities established Aoga Fiamalamalama and Loto Taumafai\, two schools for students with intellectual and physical disabilities in the independent state of Samoa. In this talk\, I explore how the disabled women organizers challenged the ableist educational system by drawing attention to the exclusion of students with disabilities. Specifically\, I trace how the women organizers reframed tautua\, a Samoan cultural concept usually defined as one’s obligation to customary and familial events.  Traditionally\, tautau recognizes one’s service to the church and the village\, as with the roles played by male chiefs or ali’i.  But how did disabled Samoan women resist such patriarchal and hierarchal facets of tautua? And how did they influence human rights and disability policies in the Pacific region? By drawing from oral histories\, I examine how the disabled women organizers used tautau to decolonize cultural practices and K-8 education in Samoa and elsewhere. In this regard\, the disabled women reframed tautua to recognize their everyday work while also critiquing the ableist and patriarchal meanings of leadership and inclusion. Juliann Anesi is a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Berkeley in the Gender and Women’s Studies Department. In 2015\, she received her Ph.D. in Special Education and Disability Studies from Syracuse University. Her research interests focus on educational policies\, indigenous women with disabilities\, and intellectual and physical disabilities in the Pacific Islands. Juliann is also a former Board member of the Society of Disability Studies\, and has worked with non-profit organizations and schools in American Samoa\, California\, Hawai´i\, New York\, and Samoa. Currently\, she is developing a book manuscript\, Women’s Tautua: Education and Disability Advocacy in Samoa.

SUMMARY:Joshua Javier Guzmán: Latinidad and Form
DESCRIPTION:The Departments of Gender Studies and English present Joshua Javier GuzmánAssistant Professor\, Department of English\, University of Colorado\, Boulder Latinidad and Form Wednesday\, February 15th2:30-4:00pmCharles E. Young Research Library\, Presentation Room 11348 The late Cuban-born American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres is most noted for his minimal and conceptual installation pieces responding\, however subtly\, to the AIDS crisis. His work withheld normative visual cues associated with sexuality\, ethnicity or the epidemic. The artist’s minimalism reflected the unabated response from the Raegan-Bush administrations to the crisis\, an indifference leaving many without adequate care or resources to help prevent and cure the disease. As a result\, Gonzalez-Torres lost his lover to AIDS five years before his own death in 1996. During this period\, the artist produced a set of pieces that together might be understood as enacting a hermeneutics of care. Therefore\, this talk will examine the continuously negotiated link between aesthetics and politics by first underscoring how their ambivalent relationship mirrors the form care takes in Gonzalez-Torres’ work. Care then becomes a useful analytic in describing the definitional incoherence known as Latinidad\, a phenomenon emerging at the intersection of loss and desire. Joshua Javier Guzmán received is PhD from the Department of Performance Studies at New York University in 2015. He was a 2015-2016 UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at UC Berkeley and is currently Assistant Professor of English at the University of Colorado\, Boulder. He is completing a manuscript tentatively titled\, Suspending Satisfaction: Queer Latina/o Performance and the Politics of Style\, which examines Latino subcultural production in a very contentious post-1968 Los Angeles. He is also co-editor of a recent special issue of Women and Performance entitled “Lingering in Latinidad: Theory\, Aesthetics and Politics in Latina/o Studies.”
