SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: On the Problem of (Re-)Activity: Mobilizing Media with the Sikh Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:A common refrain in political rhetoric is the charge that given instances of agonism are defective because they are in some crucial way reactive. However\, “reactivity” is polysemous and opaque\, despite any seeming transparency implied by the fluency by which it is so often attributed. This talk offers an analytic and ethnographic entrée into the problem of reactivity by considering diasporic investments in mass-mediated address. Sikh media activists scrutinize the reactivity seemingly cultivated by their own community-operated media institutions in their renowned capacity to both assemble and excite. In the wake of brutal state violence\, the mediation of reactivity becomes both a vehicle to address injustice and itself a site to reckon justice that has been withheld. \nRandeep Singh Hothi is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow affiliated with the Asian American Studies Center at UCLA. He is a philosophically trained anthropologist concerned with disruptive re-imaginations of the political and economic. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and the Department of Anthropology

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: Children’s Literature from the Himalayas: Gesar Stories\, Cultural Authenticity\, and Folkloresque
DESCRIPTION:Gesar is a warrior-like king in the realm of Ling and the protagonist of a voluminous folkloric poem that many Tibetan bards have performed for centuries. With Gesar’s increasing fame in modern times\, the orature has become a quintessential representation of Tibetan culture. By comparing two children’s books that draw on the Gesar tradition\, Tibetan Heroic Epic: Gesar Children’s Literature Collection and Gesar Epic: Hor-Ling Battle\, Zhuoga will discuss the meaning and relevance of cultural authenticity in children’s books. With Gesar’s adaptation in children’s literature as an example\, Zhuoga argues that cultural authenticity is not an imagined reservoir of immutability. Instead\, authenticity is generated from changes made by people who know and own that particular culture. \nQimei Zhuoga\, pronounced as Chemi Droka in the Tibetan language\, completed her Ph.D. at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) and her M.A. in English Literature at the University of Leeds (UK). Qimei Zhuoga is a lecturer at the School of Foreign Languages and Cultures\, Tibet University. \nZoom attendance link here \nSponsored by the IHC’s Global Childhood Media Research Focus Group
