SUMMARY:Alt-Right Media Literacy Series: Memeing their Way into the Mainstream: A Cultural Approach to Understanding the US Far Right
DESCRIPTION:The election of Donald Trump and the eventual J6th attempted insurrection left many people wondering how we got to this point. The answer to that question is multidimensional\, complex\, and nuanced\, and this talk focuses on several pieces that helped generate the current moment. A broad constellation of far-right extremism highly adept at marketing ideas and emotions and far more sophisticated than often understood played a key role in rebranding white supremacy to ensure wider circulation and resonance. But part of the answer to how we got here today requires stepping back to the 1980s and tracing the evolution of how the far right utilized technology to generate and distribute propaganda; cultivate and strengthen social network ties; and eventually produce links to a wide ranging cultural lifestyle complete with merchandise\, housing options\, and dating forums. The result today is a diverse and dynamic cultural landscape of far right extremism where sitting members of Congress now proudly declare themselves “Christian Nationalists” and openly speak at explicitly white supremacists conferences funded by far right social media platforms. \nPete Simi is a Professor of Sociology at Chapman University and member of the Executive Committee for the National Counterterrorism\, Innovation\, Technology\, and Education (NCITE) Center at the University of Nebraska\, Omaha. For the past 25 years\, he has been studying political violence\, hate\, and extremism. His fieldwork has taken him inside white supremacist groups across the United States\, where he has been embedded with racist skinheads\, Klan members\, neo-Nazis\, and anti-government militias. \nRegister here for Zoom attendance link \nFor more information contact: Chelsea Kai Roesch at chelsearoesch@ucsb.edu or visit altrightmedialiteracy.com. \nSponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the University of California Humanities Research Institute

SUMMARY:Talk: Un Llanto Colectivo: a PerformaProtesta
DESCRIPTION:Join via Zoom here \nThis talk will be an examination of the llanto (wail/scream) as political performance praxis through reflecting on the collective work of Cherríe Moraga\, Celia Herrera Rodríguez and approximately twenty-five artists to stage a “PerformaProtesta\,” Un llanto colectivo\, at San Diego immigrant detention centers following the separation of migrant families during the summer of 2018. It discusses this “llanto space” as an alternative to the politics of recognition and representation\, and the different ways via which it instantiates a refusal of these modalities. \nDr. Jade Power-Sotomayor is a Cali-Rican educator\, scholar and performer who works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at UC San Diego. Engaging with discourses of embodiment and embodied practices of remembering and creating community\, her work focuses on the fluid reconstitution of Latinx identity ultimately produced by doing and not simply being. Overall\, she seeks to promote an in-depth engagement with Latinx performance-making as a framework for taking up the most salient issues of our time: colonialism\, anti-Blackness\, xenophobia\, economic disparity\, patriarchy and misogyny\, queer and transphobia\, ableism and mental health access\, climate catastrophe and environmental justice. More than just including historically occulted voices as a form of ethnographic encounter\, she looks to these instances of performance for what they reveal about the structures of power and social dynamics that have shaped the world we collectively share. Her research interests include: Latinx theatre and performance\, dance studies\, nightlife\, eco-dramaturgies\, epistemologies of the body\, feminist of color critique\, bilingualism\, and intercultural performance in the Caribbean diaspora. \nDr. Power-Sotomayor is currently working on a monograph called ¡Habla!:Speaking Bodies in Latinx Dance and Performance in which she theorizes her concept of “embodied code-switching” across distinct “Latinx” social dance spaces. Foregrounding how each of these dancings (bomba\, son jarocho\, perreo and Zumba) mark blackness within Latinidad\, the book focuses on how dancers strategically navigate and move amongst different embodied codes of belonging and peri-linguistic valences of meaning-making\, especially those encountered by Latinxs in relationship to dominant US culture. In 2021\, her essay “Corporeal Sounding: Listening to Bomba Dance\, Listening to puertorriqueñxs”won the Sally Banes Publication Prize from the American Society for Theatre Research and her essay “Moving Borders and Dancing in Place: Son jarocho’s Speaking Bodies at the Fandango Fronterizo” received the Gertrude Lippincott Award from the Dance Studies Association. She also recently co-edited a special issue of CENTRO Journal for Puerto Rican studies called “Puerto Rican Bomba: Syncopating Bodies\, Histories\, Geographies” and collaborates on the Bomba Wiki project\, a crowdsourced online bomba archive. Publications can be found in TDR\, Performance Matters\, Latino Studies Journal\, Latin American Theatre Review and The Oxford Handbook of Theatre and Dance. Dr. Power-Sotomayor also works as a dramaturg\, and co-directs and performs with the San Diego group Bomba Liberté. She is grateful to her many teachers and students for gifting her a lifelong experience of learning. \nJoin via Zoom here \nCosponsored by the University of California Office of the President Multi-campus Research Programs and Initiative Funding\, the UC Humanities Research Institute\, the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center\, Department of Theater and Dance\, and Colloquium in Dance\, Theater\, and Performance Studies
