Grassroots mobilization, body politics, visualizations of evil–cfp
Dear all,
We are searching for two individuals to participate in an AAS panel covering the topics of Grassroots Mobilization, Body Politics and Visualizations of the Evil. We have one paper on representations of virtuous women and prostitutes within the 1930s New Life Movement. Another paper examines the trans-medial (posters, pamphlets, performance) visualization of the “pests” during the “Four Pests Campaign” conducted by the PRC during the 1950s. Both of these papers deal with visual practices used in the process of abjection (purification, expunging, expelling, etc). Our theoretical considerations also extend to (1) body culture and body politics, (2) gender relations, and (3) relationships between visual culture and grassroots mobilization.
We look forward to featuring a diversity of disciplines, methodologies, and topics. Please send an abstract of no more than 250 words and your CV by July 25 to:
Shaoqian Zhang (shaoqian.zhang at okstate.edu), Associate Professor of East Asian Art, Oklahoma State University
Lu Liu (lu.liu at wisc.edu), PhD candidate, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Thank you!
